Meet Mater! This handsome gentleman is 11.9 pounds of pure personality. Though he was found as a stray and brought to ACCT Philadelphia on Sept. 17, it’s clear he’s a homebody at heart.
Not only is Mater housebroken, he’s also a quick learner.

Meet Mater! This handsome gentleman is 11.9 pounds of pure personality. Though he was found as a stray and brought to ACCT Philadelphia on Sept. 17, it’s clear he’s a homebody at heart.
Not only is Mater housebroken, he’s also a quick learner. Doggie Style Customer Service Representative Deb Irwin said she taught him to back away from the door to his kennel when she opens it, and he picked up the instructions with very little effort. She described him as “sweet and smart,” and fine with children.
He does bark at other dogs before he gets to know them, but once he makes a friend, he’s a loyal pal. Irwin said “He’s like a little Joe Pesci.” And much like Pesci’s Goodfellas character Henry Hill, yes, he’s funny like a clown; he’ll amuse you. She said every time she turns around he’s standing by his glass door “smiling and posing.”
Mater might be a Brussels Griffon/Yorkshire Terrier mix, but nobody really knows for sure. What’s certain is this good 4-year-old fellow wants some quality laptime and a home to call his own.
You can fill out an adoption application online at doggiestylepets.com. His ACCT identification number is ACCT-A-232235, and his adoption fee is $425, which includes microchipping, flea preventative and deworming, all age-appropriate vaccines, and neutering.
