Meeko

Meeko is the definition of a low-maintenance, high-reward companion. She’s perfectly house-trained and a pro at crate time, often choosing to nap in her crate by herself. The only time she might need a gentle nudge is bedtime because, naturally, she’d much prefer to be burrowed under the covers, cuddling with her people. This desire for affection is constant; she wants "ALL THE LOVE and then some," and her signature morning move is to torpedo under the covers for a long, luxurious snuggle session.<br/><br/>Meeko is a dream for cat owners. Having lived harmoniously with felines, she is respectful, playful without being pushy, and understands boundaries when the cats say "enough." She has a mild luxating patella that her vet believes will improve as her weight trends downward ever so slightly, and potential allergies are being managed with a Zyrtec trial.<br/><br/>Her energy levels are a charming mix: she can be a boisterous playmate who lives for a vigorous game of tug-of-war, pushing a toy against you in a playful challenge, or a quiet cuddle bug who loves to be covered by a blanket. A few short walks and some yard time are all she needs to be a happy, balanced dog. She knows "sit" and "stay" and loves meeting new people, eagerly working on her greeting manners and becoming less chaotic as she gets more exercise and stimulation.<br/><br/>Meeko's new family will need a little patience with her approach to certain stressors. Her high energy can be overwhelming for some dogs, so she thrives with slow, structured introductions to new canine friends. She has an endearing resilience regarding other fears, like loud noises and large objects. While thunder and fireworks send her pulling for the safety of home, she quickly recovers from surprise object-related frights and will investigate with encouragement, proving her bravery and trust in her human.<br/><br/>With her incredible personality, endless affection, and charming quirks, Meeko is ready to find a forever home where she can be the center of someone's world. She promises a life full of goofy smiles, enthusiastic play, and profound, unwavering loyalty.<br/><br/>If you’d like to be considered to adopt, the first step in the process is to submit an application through our website: http://athenscaninerescue.com/adoption-procedures/.
