Meatball - American Bulldog and American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Shakopee, Minnesota

Say hello to Meatball!

Meatball is about 2 years old and tips the scales at 80 pounds.

Personality: Think teddy bear with the body of a freight train. All Meatball wants to do is love you. In true bully style he’s quite certain he’s a lap dog and is committed to having zero personal space. Meatball has two speeds - rough and tumble followed by crash hard and ready to binge your favorite show.

Crate training: After letting you know he misses you for a few minutes Meatball happily spends his foster family’s work days in his crate. Bonus - this hunk is house trained too!

Kids: Meatball lives with and loves kids! Due to the above referenced comparison to a freight train he will do best in a home with older, dog savvy kids.

Other dogs: Meatball lives with other dogs and loves a furry playmate. His play style mirrors that of WWE wrestling so he continues to work on learning to play gently and understanding when his fur-siblings are all done seeing his impressive moves and ready for a break. He will do wonderfully as an only dog or in a home with another dog.

What does a forever home look like for Meatball? Meatball is thriving in rescue with loving boundaries, strong leadership and routine- he is so eager to please his humans and continue to learn how to behave like the best boy that he is. Meatball has a big bark so isn’t a guy who will do well with shared walls. Do you think you are the spaghetti to this Meatball? Come meet him and see!
