Matcha Cafe | The Biggest Cup of Love Matcha Cafe is the big boy of the Café Litter, and apparently he decided that extra size simply meant more room to store all that love. This handsome puppy is affectionate, social, playful, and happiest when he's spending time with his people. At 3 months old and approximately 19 lbs, Matcha is a male Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever mix and one of four puppies in the adorable Café Litter. He's currently the biggest of the bunch, but underneath that growing puppy body is one seriously gentle-hearted lover boy. Watch Matcha and his siblings in action, then come back to read more! Matcha shares some of his brother Espresso's beautiful coloring, with a predominantly white coat and unique tan markings. One of his most noticeable is a big cow-like tan patch along the left side of his body, between his front leg and ribs. Add in that handsome face and his absolutely gorgeous tongue-out smile, and Matcha is a real heart-stopper. And thankfully, he's more than happy to let you admire him up close. Matcha is all about affection. He loves being held, being pet, getting rubs, and soaking up whatever love his people have to offer. He's happy to meet new people and doesn't need much convincing before he's ready to make another friend. What makes Matcha especially lovely is that his affection doesn't feel overwhelming. He adores attention, but he doesn't have to demand every second of it. He's simply a puppy who genuinely enjoys being close to people, and you get the feeling that wherever his person happens to be will probably become his favorite place. And when he's really happy, out comes that smile! Matcha has the most beautiful grin with his tongue hanging out, and it's completely infectious. He's the kind of puppy you look at and immediately find yourself smiling back. Between his happy expression, unique coat, and loving personality, this boy knows how to make an impression without even trying. Of course, Matcha is still very much a puppy! He has that classic playful, curious side and enjoys all the fun that comes with being three months old. He's grown up alongside his three brothers and sister as part of the Café Litter, giving him wonderful early socialization with other young puppies and plenty of opportunities to play, wrestle, explore, and learn alongside them. Like all puppies his age, Matcha is still at the beginning of his training journey. His forever family should be ready to continue working on potty training, crate training, leash skills, basic commands, appropriate chewing, and positive socialization with patience and consistency as he grows. But when the playing is done and there's a choice between going off on his own or soaking up some love? Matcha is probably choosing you. He's the biggest puppy in the Café Litter, but somehow he's also managed to be one of the biggest softies. Hold him, rub that puppy belly, scratch behind those ears, and make some room beside you—Matcha is ready to be somebody's boy. Matcha Cafe is playful, social, ridiculously handsome, and an absolute lover at heart. This big cup of puppy love can't wait to find the person who will make that infectious little smile appear every single day. Submit an adoption application through Three Little Pitties Rescue today!
