Meatball is a seven-year-old, 68-pound American Pit Bull Terrier mix. His journey began at just a few days old when Home Fur Good rescued him from the county shelter. He needed a mother, and Gia, a Norfolk Terrier who had recently given birth, welcomed him into her litter. Though he towered over his adoptive siblings, Meatball fit right in. Once he was old enough, he found a home, but due to changes in his adopter’s circumstances, he has returned to HFG as an adult.
Meatball is a sweet, playful, and affectionate dog with plenty of energy. He thrives on interaction and is highly treat-motivated, making training a breeze. He already knows ‘sit’ and ‘shake’ and does well on a leash. It’s important to walk him with a harness, however. He is sensitive to having his windpipe constricted when walking with only a collar. Meatball enjoys the company of older children, though his enthusiasm may be overwhelming for little ones. He has also spent time with other dogs.
Meatball’s adoption fee of $150 includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital.
If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion, come meet Meatball! Adoption hours are Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Call 602-971-1334 to schedule an appointment.

Home Fur Good has trained adoption counselors to review and question any potential problems/issues with application. We do require an adoption fee which ranges for dogs $150-$300 and for cats $50-$100. All cats and dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and vet checked.
If another dog or dogs are present in the household we require a meet and greet prior to adoption. All members of the household must be on board with adoption. We do not adopt our rescues out without meeting person that will be responsible - no "gift" adoptions. We contract that if cat/dog must be relinquished they are returned to us. If there is a change of ownership we must be kept informed who responsible party is. Fees are non refundable.

More about this rescue
Home Fur Good is a non profit no kill animal shelter located in the NE Valley. We take a majority of our cats and dogs from County, many who have treatable medical conditions and would otherwise be put down. We assess physical and behavior and work with the cats/dogs to find the best suitable match. It is our goal that each cat or dog that comes to our shelter ultimately be placed in their "furever" homes.
We also operate a low cost vaccine and microchip clinic each Sunday. We want to help community be able to care for and keep their animals safe. We do not charge vet fee only fee for vaccine and microchip. Additionally we have a low cost dental clinic each Wednesday. Check our website for more details.
