About Meatball

Meatball arrived after seeking shelter under an RV in Bossier City, clearly hoping for a safe spot. Locals worried for his safety, as he was at risk if he wandered onto the wrong property. Once rescued, Meatball slowly warmed up to his caretakers, revealing a loyal, affectionate side to those he’s come to trust. He isn’t quick to open up with new people and won’t thrive amid constant hustle and change—he needs a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. At The Mutt House, he’s become a bit of a mascot, earning fans with his goofy, loving nature. Early on, Meatball avoided even basic touch, but with gentle handling and steady companionship, he’s become a big softy with his trusted people. He’s fine around other dogs but doesn’t get along with cats. He’s house trained, up to date on vaccines, and has gone through heartworm treatment already. His adoption fee is waived for adopters with a positive vet reference. Meatball is in Shreveport, LA, looking for someone compassionate enough to let him settle in on his own terms.
