About Meatball

Meet Meatball, a true original with a big round head and a huge heart. At 6 years old and about 60lbs, this golden and cream-colored Bulldog is a sturdy, low-to-the-ground powerhouse of personality. House and crate training are under his belt, though he’s still getting the hang of making it outside every time. He gets along well with other dogs and plays on the rowdier side, but listens when you ask him to settle down—he really just wants to be close to his people. Meatball is fully vaccinated, neutered, and recently wrapped up heartworm treatment, so he’ll need about five more weeks of easygoing rest before he’s ready for a foster or forever home. Because he’s both strong and silly, Meatball does best with someone comfortable managing a sturdy Bulldog who can get a little enthusiastic. His smooshed nose means hot weather isn’t his friend, so air conditioning and shade are a must. He’s already a bit of a local legend, with a goofy streak that’ll have you smiling even if he saves it for after the first meeting. Ready to meet Meatball after the beginning of July and give him the attention he deserves? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
