Meatball

Description

Age: 6 years Size: 35 lbs Estimated breed: Bully mix Has lived with: Dogs, cats   Meatball was found wrapped in an old blanket outside a gas station in rural Georgia. We have no idea how she ended up there, but her body shows evidence of unkind treatment - sores and wounds on her body, and limbs that don't look or function the way they should. We are so happy to have her safe in foster care so we can find her the best forever family!    Meatball is estimated to be 6 years old, weighs 35 lbs, and is a bully mix. As is typical with her breed, she has some ongoing orthopedic concerns her future family will need to be prepared for.  Meatball has arthritis and hip dysplasia. Because her knees are also weak, surgery is not recommended. She takes daily joint supplements (Dasuquin) and should continue through the rest of her life!   Behavior wise, Meatball is a typical bully combo of fun, energy, spunk, and love! She has lived with dogs and cats both and done well with everyone. Her fosters have begun basic training with her and she's picking up quickly, learning "leave it," "sit," and the daily routine of the home. Meatball loves her crate, sometimes too much, so the door is left closed when she is not inside it. She sleeps in the crate and spends time there during the day and is quiet and easy! Meatball will thrive with a family who can continue her training and provide her with some basic structure and routine.    To adopt Meatball, please apply on our website! https://www.nirvanaanimalrescue.org/adoption-application   Meatball's adoption fee is $350, which covers her spay, vetting, microchip, and monthly prevention.    Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of our dogs.
