Why I need a new home

Busy schedule

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Meeko is a sweet, active, almost four year old female spayed heeler mix. It breaks my heart to even be in this place. But unfortunately I do not believe that we are the right home for Meeko anymore. We rescued Meeko from death row at an overpopulated shelter in Arizona about 3 years ago. We have experience with the breed, and thought that she might be a good playmate for our other heeler. But Meeko is quite different from our first heeler and is very high energy and requires a long walk or hiking, fetch, and special attention daily. We have tried training, overnight camps, interactive games, daily exercise, mentally stimulating games, etc. On top of her physical and mental needs, Meeko is urinary and fecal incontinent. The vet believes she was hit by a car or had some other trauma event before we adopted her, and parts of her spine are fused together. She does pretty well though when she is kept to a strict feeding and potty schedule.
