Meet Meredith Grey!

Meredith is a smart, playful girl who's as eager to learn as she is to love. She's the perfect mix of energy and obedience-always ready for fun but just as happy to listen and follow your lead. Meredith is often the first to greet you, tail wagging and ready for attention, and she absolutely adores cuddle time once she settles.

With her higher energy, she'll thrive in a home that can keep her active and engaged.

Meredith's Highlights:
Playful, smart, and eager to please
Knows sit, stay, and lay down
Walks well on leash with her person
Higher energy-would love an active home
Strong on leash-may pull if walked by a child
Loves cuddles and affection
First to greet you-super friendly and social
Amazing recall
Great with baths and handling
Can be a little jumpy when excited, but responds well to "no" and "sit"

If you're looking for a fun, loyal, and well-trained pup who's ready to be your adventure buddy and cuddle companion, Meredith might be your perfect match

I'm a cute puppy still working on housetraining and crate training. I like to chew on everything, play, eat, and then sleep!

As a puppy, I am required to go to training within 90 days of my adoption with a certified trainer.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

ODHS adoption events are typically at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Wednesdays 5-7pm, Saturdays 12-4pm, and Sundays 11am-1pm. Please check our Facebook...
