About Meatball

Meet Meatball! This one-of-a-kind guy is eager to find his forever home. He arrived as a stray and has quickly won the hearts of our staff and volunteers. While he can be scared in the shelter, he lights up when he feels safe, showing glimpses of his playful side, though it doesn’t always last long. Meatball can be protective of those he bonds with, so some guidance in managing that behavior will be helpful. He adores curling up on your lap once he's comfortable. His favorite spot for pets is right under the collar, and he simply melts into your lap if you find the right spot! Meatball thrives in a calm environment where he can unwind, and he could stand to lose a few pounds for better health. With patience and consistency, we believe this boy will blossom into a wonderful companion. If you’re keen on meeting Meatball, come visit the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA today!
