About Meatball

Meet Meatball! This silly boy is a mixed-breed Pug who transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society. He was found as a stray and is currently on a weight gain program to help him get back into great shape. Meatball has a goofy personality and clearly prefers people over dogs, making him an excellent companion for a loving family. While he has some health considerations, including corneal scarring on his left eye from an old injury, it doesn’t affect his eyesight. He’s recovering from a skin infection and is currently receiving weekly medicated baths and medications for his recovery. He also has a severe ear infection but is expected to make a full recovery. Meatball is great with children but doesn’t get along with dogs. He’s ready to find his forever home! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
