About Meekos

Meekos is looking for a forever home after his family faced the tough decision of leaving for the Philippines. They wanted to take him with them, but the quarantine costs were overwhelming. As a result, he is now in search of a new family. He's experienced life with a small grandchild and has been around his loving owners, but he’s not had much exposure to others. Because of that, Meekos will thrive best in a home with an experienced adopter who can take their time introducing him to new situations. He gets along well with other dogs, so he might do well with a friendly companion. Recently, he had a dental checkup and is up to date on all vaccinations. This adorable Shiba Inu will make a loyal companion with some patience. Animal Sanctuary Society, Inc. in Mount Laurel, NJ is ready to meet new adopters. Click apply to start the adoption process.
