My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mateo is a 2 year old gentle soul who loves to connect. He matches your energy—calm and cuddly with soft pets, playful and bouncy when toys come out. He can be stoic and unsure around other dogs, so we recommend a meet-and-greet if you have one at home.
