About Lucio

Lucio, a charming young male Chihuahua, once found himself in a high-kill shelter in West Texas. Fortunately, he is now under the care of Matty's Heart & Soul Animal Rescue. Lucio is friendly with other dogs and enjoys the company of older kids. Cats haven't been assessed yet. He will be arriving in Minneapolis on November 28, ideally going to a foster or foster-to-adopt home. Keep in mind, he will thrive best with supervision and training, as is standard for all dogs. If you're in the Twin Cities metro area, your application will be prioritized since you'll be able to bring him to vet appointments after his arrival. Don't miss out on meeting this lovely companion!
