🌟 Meet the magnificent Meeko! This delightful guy is like a gentle giant waiting for a cozy castle to call his own. Rescued from a life where his loving, elderly owner could no longer care for him, Meeko is adjusting to a whole new world after being with the same family for his entire 8 years. Can you believe it? 🏡💕 With a proud lineage—his mom is a lovely white lab and his dad a spirited red heeler—Meeko is a big-hearted pup with a little extra fluff to love (yes, he’s been enjoying his culinary adventures a tad too much!). Though he's currently adjusting to life outside his "quarantine apartment" (a modified garage!), he is slowly embracing the great outdoors and his canine pals! The world may seem a bit big and scary right now, but with your help, he can experience all the joy and wagging tails that come from a relaxing forever home. 🌳🐕 Meeko has a cautious charm about him, always tilting his head and staying a bit reserved as he observes the bustling world around him. It’s sweet to see him venture out cautiously, only to retreat back to the comfort of his safe space when things get too overwhelming. But don't let that deter you! He craves love and attention and is warming up nicely. 🥰 Now here’s a little secret—Meeko will need a mindful pet parent who understands that health is wealth! This magnificent buddy will thrive on a consistent diet and regular exercise, so be ready to help him shed some of those extra pounds for a vibrant future full of playtime and adventures! 💪👏 If Meeko’s gentle spirit resonates with your heart, don’t hesitate—*apply through the Buddy App*! His perfect forever home is waiting, and he can’t wait to meet you! 🥳✨ **Note**: Adopters must meet and adopt in person.
