About Meadow

Meet Meadow. Meadow is a lovely 23-year-old looking for a fresh start and a safe family to call her own. In her dog evaluation, she appeared stiff and unsure, indicating she's best suited for a home without canine companions. She did, however, show promise with cats, suggesting that with careful introductions, she can thrive alongside feline friends. The shelter has been a bit overwhelming for her, and with some patience and love, we believe Meadow can develop into an incredible companion. She's already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations, with her heartworm test pending. If you’re searching for a cat-friendly best friend who needs someone to help her see the world in a new light, Meadow might just be the perfect match for you. Ready to make a difference in her life? Let's get started with the adoption process!
