Meet Meatball!If happiness came with four legs and a wagging tail, it would be Meatball. This 3-4-year-old Heeler mix weighs about 45-50 pounds and is a goofy, joyful guy who approaches life with 100%% enthusiasm. Whether it's time for a walk, a belly rub, or just hanging out with his people, Meatball is all in!His favorite adventures include sniffing every inch of the trail on hikes, chewing on a good bone, and soaking up all the cuddles he can get. He absolutely melts for belly rubs and has the funniest habit of doing a full-on trust fall the second he thinks you're about to pet him. He also flashes the biggest smile when he's getting attention-it's impossible not to smile right back.Meatball is house trained, crate trained, rides perfectly in the car, and is a dream on leash. He's relatively quiet around the house and, after a daily walk or some playtime (plus a quick zoomie session!), he's happy to settle in for snuggles. He's very treat motivated and eager to please, making him a fun companion to continue training with.He absolutely adores people and makes friends instantly. He's done well with children, though his enthusiastic zoomies might make him a better fit for a home with older kids. He's also enjoyed playing with other dogs, but after one serious disagreement with another foster dog, we think he'd be happiest as an only dog or with a carefully matched canine companion.Meatball would thrive with a moderately active family and a securely fenced yard where he can safely explore, since he enjoys wandering if given the chance. He's healthy, affectionate, endlessly entertaining, and ready to bring laughter, love, and plenty of belly-up cuddles to his forever home.If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a goofy personality and a heart as big as his smile, Meatball is ready to meet you!Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served basis.
