Meatball - English Bulldog Dog for Adoption in Pacific Grove, California

Looks like: Bulldog mix
Male, 5 years old (estimated), 33 pounds

Meet Meatball (pun intended), the Bulldog who believes life is best lived at half speed and with maximum confidence. Built like a tank and carrying himself like the self-appointed mayor of the house, Meatball is small but large, in charge, and completely unbothered by anyone else's schedule. He doesn't rush for anything -- except maybe dinner. Every step is deliberate, every nap is well-earned, and every room instantly becomes his the moment he waddles into it.

Meatball's signature look is impossible to miss. His face is smooshed to the absolute extreme, with enough wrinkles to deserve their own fan club, and his legendary underbite proudly steals the spotlight in every photo. Add in his dramatic, loud breathing, and you'll never have to wonder where he is. Whether he's snoring on the couch, grumbling his way across the floor, or simply existing with impressive volume, Meatball has a way of making his presence known without saying a word.

Despite his tough-guy appearance, Meatball is all heart. He's a lovable loaf whose favorite hobbies include supervising everyone from the comfort of his favorite spot, accepting compliments like they're his birthright, and reminding the world that Bulldogs were born to be adored. He gets along well with other dogs, and due to his slow speed, he likely could live with cats. He is hilarious, and irresistibly squishy. Meatball isn't just a dog, he's a full-time personality wrapped in wrinkles, drool, and undeniable charm.

Meatball joined us from the Monterey SPCA after he was found as a stray.
