When he first arrived, Meatball was very nervous and easily startled. Since settling in, he's blossomed into a friendly, affectionate boy who loves a good rough-and-tumble play with his people, followed by plenty of pats, cuddles, and the occasional shower of kisses for his favourite staff members.

He already knows his basic manors and is keen to learn, but he'll need some continued lead training as he can get excited on walks.

Meatball can still be a little jumpy and anxious at times, so he would be best suited to a home with older dog-savvy children. He'd likely be happiest as the only dog, or potentially with a calm female dog after the right introductions.

If you're looking for a loyal best mate and are willing to give this sweet boy the time and patience he deserves, Meatball could be the perfect match.
