Meet Mateo, the adventureseeker with a smile that could brighten any day. This boy lives for exploring, new trails, new smells, new experiences. If there's something to discover, Mateo is already on his way. He would truly thrive in a home that can give him the chance to stretch his legs, use his brain, and enjoy the world beyond the shelter walls. As charming as he is curious, Mateo greets everyone with one of the best smiles you'll ever see. But the truth is, shelter life is hard on him. He struggles with the noise, the stress, and the constant waiting. Mateo needs someone willing to take a chance on him, to show him what life looks like when you're loved, understood, and free to explore. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's ready for every adventure by your side, Mateo is waiting. Foster Notes: Mateo is a complete sweetheart of a pup that loves to cuddle, play, and he is just an all around great dog. He loves to play with toys and when done playing with them, he will collect them all in his kennel. He is so loving and has no problem with a good snuggle every now and then. He has gotten along great with my two large dogs, cats, and even (slowly) winning over my grouchy 6lb chihuahua. He loves adventures but is great about settling down in his crate or dog beds when it's down time. He hasn't had an accident in the home and is great in a crate when I'm gone. He will make someone a great companion if they give him a chance.
