Meet Mateo! 🎉 This little ball of fluff is a delightful Maltese mix, possibly with a sprinkle of Shih Tzu charm! At just over 3 years old and weighing in at about 20 pounds, he's got the perfect size for snuggling or taking on delightful adventures. 🐾 Mateo made his way to Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue after being surrendered by his previous owner. Isn’t it great that he found a place filled with love and support? ❤️ While he's a friendly fellow with small dogs, let's just say big dogs aren’t his cup of tea. So, if you're considering expanding your fur family, a small companion might be an ideal match! With a perky pep in his step, this adorable pup is all about those leisurely walks. 🚶‍♂️ Imagine strutting down the street, Mateo leading the way with his gentle demeanor and clean kennel habits. He's eager to get out and explore the world, and who knows? Maybe he’ll pull you into an impromptu adventure or two! 🌟 As for the logistics, Mateo's adoption fee is $450, which covers a vet exam, up-to-date vaccines, neuter, deworming, heartworm test (which is negative, yay!), and microchip. Talk about a fully equipped furry friend! Snap him up, and you'll get a loving companion brimming with affection. 😘 So, if Mateo's playful spirit and friendly vibes are making your heart melt, don’t hesitate! Apply to adopt him through the Buddy App, and let the adventure begin. You won’t regret welcoming this little light into your life! 🌈
