MATEO will be arriving in Maine at the end of April.

We are happy to accept and process applications before she arrives.

Mateo was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas  arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine at the end of April. We post our available dogs in states across the east coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes to find perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs, families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and then hopefully take home.

Mateo is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, and in March 2025 weighed 25 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of December 2024.    We can not say for sure what the breed is, we expect families to decide looking at any pictures and video's provide and decide if the breed is a good fit for their family.

This is what the shelter relayed from his foster family about this sweet boy:

Meet Mateo – Your New Best Friend!

Mateo is not just any dog—he’s the whole package wrapped in a wagging tail and a sparkling personality! This incredibly smart and confident boy is on the hunt for his forever home, and trust us, he’s a catch you don’t want to miss. Here's just a few things you’ll love about Mateo:

Mateo 101:

·        Potty Prodigy: Mateo is fully potty trained—no mess, no stress! He’s a master of dog door excursions too!

·        Smarty-Paws: He’s got brains for days and loves to learn (especially if treats are involved—he's a *foodie*, after all).

·        Independent Spirit: While he loves your attention, Mateo is perfectly content investigating his surroundings and taking time for himself too.

·        Pack Player: Mateo adores being part of a dog pack. He thrives with his furry friends and knows how to fit right in.

·        Kid-Approved: Gentle and playful, Mateo is fantastic with children and would be the perfect addition to a family.

·        Obedient & Mischievous: A unique mix of well-behaved and cheekily curious—he’ll follow commands one moment and hilariously investigate your shoe collection the next.

·        Playtime Enthusiast: Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring the great outdoors, Mateo’s energy and enthusiasm know no bounds!

·        Sunbathing Aficionado: When the fun winds down, you’ll find him stretched out in a patch of sunlight, enjoying life’s little pleasures.

Mateo’s foster family absolutely adores him and would keep him forever if they could—but they know he’s destined to make another family just as happy. Are you ready to meet this amazing pup and give him the loving home he deserves? We can’t wait for you to fall in love with him as much as we have.
