About Meg

Meg is a sweet girl who came to the shelter as a stray and never found her previous family. Now in a caring environment, she receives the love and attention she deserves. Although she's a bit shy at first, with time and patience, she opens up. Her ideal home would have a kind, understanding family that will treat her gently. Raised voices or sudden movements make her skittish, likely due to her previous experiences. This smart girl has already mastered commands like sit and stay. She enjoys her walks and the great outdoors. Meg gets along with other dogs, provided they aren't aggressive. With her quick learning ability, agility training might be a perfect fit for her. Meg is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccinations. While her estimated birth date is April 8, 2025, she’s an adult who needs a forever home filled with spoiling and love. To meet Meg, contact the Waupun Area Animal Shelter to schedule an appointment. Every animal deserves a happy ending, and this one starts with you.
