Story
Meatball is a 27lb, almost 3 year old Miniature Australian Shepherd. We got Meatball from a breeder at 8 weeks old. He is very sweet and loves a good game of fetch to burn off some energy. He is very much a herding dog- nipping, energetic, protective. He has some behavioral challenges (anxieties) that will need some attention. Meatball is looking for a home that can provide him with that support. He will be best in a home with no kids and someone who can be as dedicated to him as he is to you.

I came all the way from Alabama with my two brothers, Baby Zooey and Baby Bob. We are lucky boys; we have not had to live in a shelter as we grew up in a foster home down south.

I'm sweet too, I've been told. I'm still learning, but I'm eager to please. At my young age, I am in my prime for training and socialization too. I promise to be the best friend you've ever had. Adopting me would mean endless love, companionship, and a loyal friend forever. I can't wait to meet you! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training.
