My personality

My story

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

Meatball is a compact, muscular American Bully with a calm demeanor and a strong preference for human companionship. He is an affectionate, people-oriented dog who forms close bonds and enjoys being near his person throughout the day.

Meatball is steady and relaxed in public environments. He is non-reactive to dogs, wildlife, and everyday distractions during walks and prefers to remain close to his handler. He enjoys accompanying his foster caregiver to work and is well-received by everyone he meets.

Meatball has low to moderate exercise needs. He prefers very short, slow walks and is content with one brief walk in the morning and one in the evening. He enjoys spending time outdoors in pleasant weather and engages in light play, including fetch.

Meatball is housebroken and does best in a predictable, calm environment. During severe weather (high winds, thunder, or lightning), he may become anxious and occasionally have accidents. He does not enjoy extended periods of isolation and prefers a home where someone is present most of the day. While crate-tolerant for short periods, he is most comfortable outside of a crate.

He sleeps in the bedroom with his people, uses his own bed, and enjoys resting on furniture with his family. He navigates stairs well despite his short stature.

Meatball is highly food motivated and requires structured feeding practices. He should be fed separately and have treats or bones provided in a secure area. He may live with another dog with appropriate management, though he may be best suited as an only dog due to his strong attachment to his person and occasional jealous tendencies. Cat compatibility is unknown; limited observation suggests low reactivity.

Meatball would do best in a home with older children or no children. He is physically strong and may be unintentionally rough despite having no ill intent.

Meatball is seeking a stable, adult-oriented home that values companionship over high activity. He would thrive with adopters who enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, can provide consistent structure around feeding, and are looking for a devoted, loyal companion.
