Introducing the irresistible Meatball! 🍝 This charming 4-month-old male, weighing in at 28 pounds (and still growing!), brings joy and laughter everywhere he goes. This delightful herding mix has a personality that perfectly blends sweetness with an energetic spark that'll keep you entertained for hours. Meatball is a playful pup who absolutely adores cuddling, making him the ultimate snuggle buddy. He loves to play with all types of toys 🧸, has a blast wrestling with his sister and hopping around with other dogs in his foster home, and has a particular fondness for puppy bones and—wait for it—socks! 🧦 Don’t be surprised if you catch him attempting to catch the broom whenever humans are cleaning—it’s the cutest little mischief! Now, he does have his dislikes—he's not a fan of being cooped up and will definitely let you know! 🚫 On the potty training front, Meatball is making good progress. He knows where the potty pads are and does well with regular outdoor trips, although it’s a journey that continues! His crate training, however, needs a little more work. He spends about four hours with his furry friends in a kennel while his humans are away but can be quite vocal about wanting to break free! 🐶 When it comes to meeting new faces—whether humans or furry pals—he might be a bit timid at first, but don’t let that fool you. His sweet nature shines through quickly! ⚡️ This fluffy genius is already learning basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘wait', impressing everyone around! After a fun day of play, Meatball loves to curl up in your lap or find the coziest dog bed to snooze in—he’s the kind of companion who wants to be near the action while also enjoying some well-deserved rest. Active family? Perfect! He thrives in a home that can offer regular walks and should definitely join some puppy classes. With his medium to high energy levels, he’s all set to become not just a family pet but a true adventure buddy! 🌟 Now, here's the scoop—Meatball is a gem currently fostered near Eugene/Springfield, Oregon, and is ready to find his forever home. If you feel this little sweetheart would fit right into your life, then it's time to take the next step! You can apply to adopt Meatball through the *Buddy App*. Remember, he’s waiting to meet his perfect family, and that could be you! 🥰
