Imagine walking through a peaceful meadow. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, you have a loyal companion at your side. My name is Meadow, and if you adopt me, I will make every day feel just like that! I love to roll around in the grass and absorb all the sunshine. After I get some good back scratching out of the way, I'm a very laidback girl and just enjoy being next to you. I am fully housebroken and will keep myself occupied with toys. I did come in with Lightning, who is actually my son, and I do well with him but can be selective with other dogs. I am not a fan of kitties. Let's take a walk together- ask to meet me today!
