*MATEO - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / HUSKY / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Husky / Mixed (short coat). Mateo (A139329) is a 1-year-old Lab x AK Husky mix who weighed 67.1 pounds on intake! 08/19/25 This handsome boy is Mateo! Mateo arrived at the shelter as a stray and is now looking for his new home. While at the shelter, Mateo experienced a little bit of stranger danger, but with positive reassurance, he has quickly come around! Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions to help set him up for success! Mateo has seemed very excited to see his neighboring dogs, but we do not know his history with other animals outside the shelter. We suspect he has some husky him, which can result in a higher prey drive. Making slow, safe, and controlled introductions is important! Mateo should also always be on a leash, secure tie-out, or supervised when in a fenced-in yard. He has done a good job at keeping his kennel clean while at the shelter, indicating that he may already be housebroken. There is always an adjustment period as our new furry friends adjust to their new homes. We also encourage his next owner to bring him to a basic obedience class with a certified trainer to continue working on his manners and building his confidence! At the shelter, we have found that Mateo is a digger when outdoors and should be supervised when in a fenced in yard so he does not make his great escape! If you are interested in meeting Mateo, please let us know!
