Story
Mateo is a good, loving boy. He LOVES his people, loves being outside in the yard (doggie door trained). He is good with bigger, female dogs. He is not destructive and not much of a barker.
Mateo came here just 7 days old, 3 years ago and has lived here ever since. This means he will need some time to adjust to a new home, especially a home possibly without other dogs. He will be very shy at first. He is a very loving dog, sleeps in my bed every night, loves his bully sticks and other treats and loves not eating the same dog food all the time.. Never tears anything up or gets in any trouble.
I have never had any issue with Mateo until recently. I have several dogs, as well as cats. One of those cats was his bestie. They played together every day for the last 2 years. Then something happened, and Mateo hurt the cat and the cat hurt him (his face looks war torn until healed up). This somehow changed him, and he now starts fights with one of my smaller, male dogs, leaving him injured.
I have many dogs coming and going here (boarding). He meets tons of dogs and mostly just ignores them, or wants to sniff them. He rarely plays with them, he does play with his "pack" (The young male does not belong). But I cannot have a dog here that poses any type of risk to boarders.
I am heartbroken sending him away, but due to my situation, it is impossible for me to keep everyone save. It just wouldn't work. He would be fine with, even love having a companion (especially female and/or larger than him and not too playful), but you should have them seperated when you leave the house.
If you are interested, I will have a few questions for you and there will be an adoption contract. Mateo is up to date on his shots, HW meds and neutered.
