Meatloaf is the picture of good-natured resilience. Picked up after wandering the streets, he greeted rescuers with a wagging tail and a gentle approach, only wanting a bit of kindness. Even after being overlooked and caught up in a tough situation, his spirit never broke—he met every new face with hope and trust. Meatloaf has a big, goofy presence and gives himself fully to anyone willing to offer love or a scratch behind the ears. Inside a home, he settles in with children and shows a calm, affectionate side. He loves to play ball and has plenty of energy but can settle quickly once he gets some exercise. Meatloaf does best as the only dog and isn’t suited to homes with small animals, but his gentle manner with kids really stands out. He’s strong on leash and needs someone ready for a big buddy. Give him a shot, and you’ll find a devoted, loving friend who just needs a chance to belong. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
