My story

I'm a very sensitive, worried boy who needs lots of time to get used to new environments. I keep to myself until I feel safe. Once I relax, I'm easily excited and I shred my toys with gusto. My favorite things are squeakers and cheese! I'll need a dog-savvy home with gentle people who understand my stress and go slow with me. Would you like to meet me? Ask about me today! Kids: Kids: 13+, very timid and quietly anxious, nippy in foster home, tries to play with people's hands Dogs: Very nervous, stiff and high posture, does not want to be sniffed, tries to mount and hump. Not a fan of face-to-face interactions; may snap if pushed. Very slow and careful intros with tolerant dogs. Learn more about Meatball: Meatball is very friendly and affectionate and charms everyone he meets. He is just 35 pounds, making him the perfect size for a variety of living situations. He loves relaxing and cuddling on the couch, but he's also an athletic guy who makes a great jogging partner. As a former stray, he is working on learning the ins and outs of home life, but he is an eager and fast learner. He's potty trained and treat motivated. He loves interactive play and puzzle toys, and also a good chew.  March 13, 2025, 2:07 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Meatball, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
