He's not a registered voter, or a lobbyist, or a bankrupt CEO, so it's unlikely that Matthew's story will make the nightly news. He's just another casualty of a bad economy- sad, confused, and completely helpless.

Matthew is a handsome, one year old, orange-and-white boy with expressive golden eyes and a cute moustache. He recently lost his family when his owners were forced to move. He is gentle, well-mannered and loves human affection. He would do best in a calm home with adults or older children.

Matthew lost his house. Now we must help him find a home.
