Matai is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu mix in Omak, WA, who needs $1,575 for emergency care following a coyote attack.

Matai means chief & he is a great protector of our family. I met him when he was a few weeks old & knew we needed each other. He has lifted my spirits on many occasions & helped me heal. Now it’s my turn to help him. He is my first born son & has a little human spirit inside of him. Matai loves going on outings as a family! He loves hiking in the woods, running with his doggie siblings Humish & Vinca & keeping a close eye on our 1 year old son Braven!
