Meatball's Story

Hi. I am Meatball. Yes, like the food. No, I am not edible (I've been told this many times and I still find it confusing because people say “meatballs are great” and then don't share theirs). I am 8 months old, which means I am technically a young gentleman, but emotionally I am still figuring out whether zoomies are a personality trait or a full-time career. So far I am thriving in both. I love everyone. Like... everyone. Strangers? Best friends. Kids? Tiny best friends. Other dogs? Oh wow, my people. Big dogs, small dogs, dramatic dogs, shy dogs—I greet them all with the same energy: “HELLO I HAVE ARRIVED PLEASE LIKE ME.”<br/><br/>I enjoy long walks, short naps, medium chaos, and the strategic redistribution of toys from “their basket” to “my mouth.” I am very social, very sweet, and occasionally forget that my whole body is not supposed to wag at the same time. If you are looking for a calm, quiet, low-energy companion... I have some news for you: that is not me. If you are looking for a happy, silly, affectionate pup who believes life is one big party and every human is invited... congratulations...you have found me! I am ready to go home, love hard, and probably sit on your feet without warning.<br/><br/>Our organization is foster based which means that we really know and understand our dogs personalities as our volunteers live each day in their house with our rescued dogs. Our fosters are available to answer your questions and will give you all the details you need to know about our dogs such as if they are shy, are they outgoing, what is their energy level, are they couch potatoes, love bugs, kissers, lickers, so please do apply and ask our fosters questions - this will ensure you find your pur-fect match in our rescue!

Many Paws Global Rescue Inc's Adoption Policy
Petfinder Inquiries are NOT an adoption application. If you are interested in adopting, you must fill out an application. After receiving an application via https://manypawsglobalrescue.org/applications-for-adoption/ , we call the potential adopter and explain our process and answer any questions they may have. After the initial call, we then call three personal references, vet reference and landlord (if applicable). Please understand that some animals will get several applications and our main priority is to find the BEST fit for each animal. We do not fully approve applicants until after the meet and great. Due to COVID, we have had to alter our home visits and are hosting calls via Zoom to see the home. In addition, we "Google map" to see what the traffic flow is around the home. After you submit an application, one of the Many Paws member will reach out to you via phone. If we feel the applicant may be a good fit, we set up a time for a meet and greet. Only after the meet and greet, if all goes well, we will then approve applicant and will finalize adoption contracts and fees.
