About Meg

Meg, known as the one and only Megalosaurus, is a calm, gentle Shepherd mix in Spring, TX. She came into rescue with two pups, both of whom survived parvo under careful nursing. Meg has a striking black coat, soft medium-length fur, and a look that's all her own—one ear stands upright while the other flops. She isn’t quick to trust, but someone with patience will see her forgiving, affectionate side emerge as she settles in. When Meg is comfortable, she’ll greet you with a soft nudge and quietly lean in for attention. She gets along with both dogs and cats, though she prefers companions who match her laid-back vibe. Occasionally, she breaks into happy zoomies, especially with a canine friend nearby. After her hard start, Meg deserves some easy days and a home where quiet strength counts.
