About Mathers (Labrador retriever) in Volusia County

Mathers is waiting for you at Lil Rascals Dog Rescue in United States. Meet Mathers the IV — The Real Pup Shady “Look… if you had… one shot… one opportunity… to meet the coolest glow-up underdog of North Florida… would you take it?” Mathers didn’t grow up on 8 Mile, but his early life in North Florida had its own kind of gritty soundtrack. Found as a stray at just two months old, this little rap prodigy got scooped up by a shelter and then transferred to a training facility. He got a solid foundation there, but it was still a kennel-life grind — and for many months on earth, that’s all he knew. So yeah… The Real Pup Shady came out understandably cautious of the big, overwhelming outside world.
 But don’t get it twisted — this 1-year-old boy isn’t broken. He’s rewriting his story, bar by bar. Since moving into foster with a local trainer, Mathers has been taking on the world like a true comeback king. Every day he’s dropping Brave Boy Bars™, slowly learning that new things aren’t scary — they’re just part of his debut album called “The Glow-Up.” And he is KILLING it. His Crew (AKA other animals) • Dogs? He LOVES them — big, small, fluffy, spicy… doesn’t matter. • Cats? He’s so polite you’d think he’s trying to win a Grammy for Best Gentleman in a Supporting Role. His Fans (AKA humans) Mathers has met people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. He needs a minute to warm up — he’s still learning how to speak “human” — but once he does, he becomes a cuddle-heavy, heart-melting, stage-diving lovebug.
