Meet Meesha At just 7–8 months old, Meesha has already come a long way. Found abandoned in the country with her littermate and a friend, she survived by taking shelter in an old barn while kindhearted people quietly made sure she had food. Life was uncertain and scary back then—but today, Meesha is safe, growing, and ready for her next chapter. She’s been in foster care in Texas for several months, learning what it means to live in a home. While she’s still a bit independent by nature, Meesha has blossomed in her own quiet way. She’s formed a special bond with her foster parents (though she might have a tiny soft spot for dad!) and is beginning to enjoy affection on her own terms. Meesha absolutely loves other dogs—honestly, they’re her favorite. She thrives in the company of canine friends and would do best in a home with another confident dog to help guide her and be her buddy. She enjoys playing outside with her foster siblings and would be happiest with space to explore and a yard to romp in. With her beautiful, fluffy coat, Meesha looks bigger than she is, but she’s just around 32 pounds—an ideal medium size. She’s crate-trained but prefers snoozing on her comfy bed, and she’s fully housetrained with a doggie door. She does well when kids come to visit and isn’t overly demanding—she’s content doing her own thing, then checking in when she’s ready. Meesha has found her voice in the best ways—she’ll happily “chat” at mealtime or when her foster family gets home, just to let you know she’s excited you’re back. What Meesha really needs now is a patient, loving family who will continue to let her grow at her own pace. Someone who understands that trust takes time—but is incredibly rewarding when it blooms. If you’re looking for a gentle, independent pup with a playful side and a heart full of quiet love, Meesha might just be your perfect match. Gumbo is microchipped, spayed and current on her vaccines. Her adoption fee is $495.
