My story

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

Mateo (Bigfoot)

Italian Greyhound / Chihuahua mix (aka Latin lover).

Like a lot of dogs available for adoption, I didn’t get a great start. In fact, I became homeless recently, after my person moved and left me ! But it looks like I was loved at one time. It seems I had a dental cleaning as an adult.

Recently, I was rescued from abandonment and placed in a foster home that I call Club DogMed.

Foster mom says I’m an easy and perfect house guest. The only guy. I guess the girls are more high maintenance. LOL

I fall asleep when my nails are getting clipped. I’m being touched when I’m being primped and pampered, so it’s all good to me. Touch is my love language.

I’m housebroken, UTD with shots and HW prevention. I’m heartworm negative (whew!)

I am FRIENDLY with ALL dogs, cats and people. Totally good natured. Freely pass my love around!

I am CHILL but I PLAY with the pack, esp if someone starts are game of squirrel spotting.

Otherwise, I am a coach potato … when I’m not rolling in the grass. I love the sun, but I also have my favorite chair on the covered porch.

Fortunately, I am not alone in my love of cushioned things. My main squeeze is a smaller chi girl, also available for adoption. You’ll see us in a lot of pictures together. If FM sits down, I am in her lap. My girlfriend piles on with me. It is the best time of my life, but I know this isn’t permanent. FM has many more dogs to save by fostering for rescue groups.
