Mateo was surrendered to the rescue as a litter surrender. He is up to date on all of his shots and he is microchipped. He has no known health issues. However he is not neutered and a spay/neuter contract will need to be signed to adopt him to ensure the safety of the pup. The Havanese Shih Tzu mix is a low-shedding mix known for its sweet, affectionate, and playful personality. They are great with children and other pets when properly socialized and make wonderful companions for first-time dog owners. They enjoy playing, running around the house or yard, and spending quality time with their family. They respond best to gentle, positive training with lots of praise and treats and should not be encouraged to bark excessively. Due to their small size, children should be taught to handle them gently. Their coat should be brushed several times a week and professionally groomed every 8 to 12 weeks to keep it healthy and free of tangles. This spunky, loving breed is sure to bring lots of happiness and joy to your home! If you are interested in adopting Mateo please fill out our adoption application!
