Story
Meet Meatball! This 7-year-old male heeler is as charming as his name suggests, and he’s ready to find his forever home. Meatball is the perfect blend of friendly and affectionate, but isnt clingy and is fine being independent when needed. He loves cuddling on the couch and following you around, but is also fine being left alone while you work or go out. He is a sensitive guy, very intune to peoples feelings, and requires a gentle hand. He loves to cuddle with his favorite blanket, and often is found laying on it around the house.Meatball is calm and laid back, and so far hasn't reacted to anything. He is good with dogs, although he doesnt love puppies jumping in his face; he mostly ignores dogs vs plays with them. He ignores cats, chickens, horses, cows, goats, and everything else we have brought him around. He could live with other pets, on a farm, or as your only animal, he would do well in all situations. He rarely barks, so could live in an apartment or a house. He would be a great first time dog for someone, or for a seasoned dog owner looking for a calm and easy companion.Meatball has a bit of arthritis in his hips, so his marathon running days are behind him. However he loves going for walks and hikes, and is great on and off leash. He is housebroken and crate trained, although he doesnt need a crate and can be trusted free in the home.If you’re looking for a loyal, well-mannered, and affectionate companion, Meatball might just be the perfect match for you. Come meet him and see why this charming heeler is ready to be your new best friend!Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal.
