Story
Meet Meatball Now before you ask… yes, I am tiny. Yes, my name is Meatball. And yes, I fully believe I am the main character everywhere I go. I am a happy, playful little guy with a BIG personality packed into one adorable meatball-shaped body. My hobbies include backyard zoomies, supervising all household activities, and following my humans so closely you may accidentally trip over me at least twice a day. Personal space? Never heard of her. I am a certified Velcro puppy and would happily glue myself to your side forever. Adventure? COUNT ME IN. Car ride for a pup cup? I’m already in the passenger seat. Hike? Let me grab my emotional support zoomies. Backyard playtime? I can run laps like I’m training for the Puppy Olympics. I’m great with other dogs, good with cats, and love kids too. Basically, I’m the friendly little sidekick everyone wants around. I’m the kind of puppy that turns every errand into a road trip and every couch cuddle into a full-body snuggle session. If you’re looking for a best friend who will love you with his whole tiny Meatball heart, keep you laughing, and happily become your fuzzy little shadow… I’m your boy. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
