Meet Mateo, your new best friend! This energetic guy is a true sports enthusiast, always ready for a game of fetch with his favorite rubber ball.

Mateo is not just a playful companion; he has a charming, silly side that will keep you entertained with his antics. While he’s friendly with people and loves kids, Mateo prefers to be the only pet at home, as his past experiences have made him wary of other dogs and cats.

Mateo is altered, vaccinated, and house trained, making him ready to transition into your home with ease. He’s been looking for his forever family, and his adoption fee is covered, thanks to a kind donor. If you’re ready to open your heart to this affectionate adventurer, Mateo is excited to meet you!
