A little about them
Foster or forever home needed for Mateo, a big-hearted 2-year-old Dogo Argentino weighing 90 pounds. He is bouncy, loving, goofy, affectionate, and still very much a puppy at heart. Mateo loves people, adventures, couch cuddles, and being close to his humans.
Ideal Home
Mateo will thrive with a family that understands and appreciates his breed. He is friendly and social with other dogs, but has not been tested with cats. Because of his large, bouncy nature, his home should not include small children.
Ongoing Health
Mateo is hearing impaired and will need a home experienced with deaf dogs or committed to learning how to communicate with and support him. He is up to date on shots, microchipped, and neutered.
Training & Support
Mateo is smart and eager to be involved in life with his people. He is still learning that excitement does not always need to involve jumping, so continued basic obedience and positive training will help him become the best version of himself.
