Story
Meet Ellie, the enchanting black furball with a personality as charming as her appearance. Her little white whiskery beard gives her a distinguished look, and those big, pointy ears add an element of adorable quirkiness. Ellie's button eyes may be small, but they sparkle with intelligence, reflecting her sharp mind and curious thoughts.Despite her cleverness, Ellie is a bit on the shy side, making her all the more endearing. Once you break through her initial reserve, you'll discover a lovey-dovey side to her. She's the ultimate snuggle companion, turning any quiet evening into a cozy affair. Moreover, Ellie has mastered the art of being a great car passenger, making road trips a joy with her calm demeanor and sweet disposition. In her presence, every journey becomes an adventure filled with warmth and companionship. Ellie is not just a bundle of cuteness; she's a well-behaved gem in the household. At 9 years old, she is house-trained to perfection, you can count on her to keep the living space tidy and accident-free. She understands the cues of domesticity with an impressive repertoire of tricks up her furry sleeve. From basic cues to pattern games, Ellie's sharp mind eagerly takes on challenges, making her an engaging companion for those who appreciate intelligence in a four-legged friend.While Ellie may be the ideal partner for adults seeking a loyal and clever companion, she leans towards a serene environment. Her preference for a home without children or other pets reflects her desire for a peaceful haven where she can truly thrive. This discerning choice makes her the perfect match for individuals or couples looking to share their lives with a canine companion who craves a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.In essence, Ellie is not just a charming canine; she's a well-rounded companion who brings both brains and beauty to the table. Her house-trained habits, knowledge of cues, and aversion to the chaotic energy of children and other pets make her an excellent fit for those who appreciate a tranquil yet intellectually stimulating canine presence in their lives.For more information about our adoptable dogs and/or to submit an adoption inquiry, please visit meridianrescue.org.

Story
Meet Rita: Your Happy Companion! About Rita: Rita is a spirited and happy young lady with a big personality. We believe she is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, she embodies the best traits of the breed with her athletic build, intelligence, and loyalty. She thrives on attention and is eager to be the center of your world. Rita had an outing and spent the day at the home of one of our volunteer couples. They said she was wonderful in their home and enjoyed driving around town. As we learn more about her, we have found that she does get along with some dogs. However, she is selective on which dogs she likes. Because of this, she is not one that would do well in a dog park. Health & Care: Rita is in excellent health, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and spayed. She has an energetic nature and benefits from regular exercise and mental stimulation. Rita responds best to a confident handler who can provide consistent training and guidance. What Rita Needs: Rita is looking for a dedicated and loving home where she can receive the attention and care she deserves. She’s a great fit for an active family or individual who can match her energy and provide her with plenty of playtime, training, and affection. She would do best as the only dog in the household.    Are you ready for a new jogging partner? Rita would love to join you!   ***     Give Rita a chance  with our Foster-To-Adopt program ! *** All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered (if they are old enough) before they leave the shelter.

Would you like to try him out and see if he's a good fit for your home? We have a Foster - to - Adopt program just for this reason! We supply the food and you supply the love and attention he deserves.    Are you ready to include Wilbur in your next adventure?

Story
Meet Katara, a 3.5-year-old, medium-sized sweetheart who is ready to find her forever family. This special girl is full of love, energy, and personality—she absolutely adores people and has never met a belly rub she didn’t like. She’s also dog-friendly and enjoys having four-legged pals, though she’ll need a cat-free home.Katara is both housetrained and crate-trained, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate dog. She’s playful, smart, and loves learning new things—especially if meaty treats or even pancakes are involved! Her favorite hobbies include swimming, shredding toys, and being by your side for any adventure.Because Katara has a lot of enthusiasm for life, she may be a little too energetic for small children or seniors, but in the right home she will thrive. She does take medication for anxiety, and what helps her most is having a stable home and a predictable routine. With patience, structure, and love, Katara will blossom into the very best friend you’ve ever had.They say dogs are a man’s best friend, and they must have been talking about Katara—because she’s just waiting to be yours.For more information about our adoptable dogs and/or to submit an adoption inquiry, please visit meridianrescue.org.

Story
Meet Brooks!  He is an 11 pound bundle of kisses, snuggles, tail wags, and joy. He has only been with his foster parents for a few days so they are learning more about him each day.  He is a very happy boy! Brooks loves attention, lap time and hanging out on the sofa snoozing. Everyone he meets gets “Brooks Kisses.”  He is very attentive to his foster parents and follows them all around the house but he is quite content to snooze on a blanket when he decides they are doing nothing of interest. Brooks walks great on a leash and loves going for walks and car rides! Brooks does great in a crate and sleeps through the night. While only about 9 to 10 months old, he has not shown any interest in toys or zoomies; but he is still very new at his foster home.  He is well behaved and doesn’t chew on anything. Brooks is doing great at potty training. He doesn’t yet ask to go out and will need a person who is dedicated to taking him out at regular intervals throughout the day. Brooks will be a great love-bug companion dog ready for travels, adventures, and lots of snuggles. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered (if they are old enough) before they leave the shelter. Please fill out an application if you are interested in this dog or call us today for more information     Because Brooks is living with a foster family, please call ahead to schedule a time for a Meet & Greet so he can meet you at the shelter.     Pet Adoption League  1526 N.

Story
Meet Lena! Lena is a one year old, purebred German Shorthair Pointer. Her owner could no longer care for her and decided it was best if she found a home that could give her the love and attention she deserved.    Lena is very friendly and wants to be loved and cuddled. She loves children and people so much. She is also great with dogs. She will chase cats, which is typical for the hunting breeds.   Although she was never trained to hunt, she is not gun shy. She locks on point with birds and squirrels. She does pretty well with sit, lay and stay if she is not wound up or has the zoomies.   German Shorthair pointers are easily trainable. If you are not familiar with the breed, do your research first. They are in the Sporting Dog category and were bred to hunt. They require a lot of exercise, so if you're in need of a running partner she may be the perfect fit!   All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered (if they are old enough) before they leave the shelter. Please fill out an application if you are interested in this dog or call us today for more information     Because we are an all-volunteer organization, please call ahead to schedule a time for a Meet & Greet so we can ensure a dog handler is available to show you the dog or dogs you are interested in.     Pet Adoption League  1526 N.
