Meeko - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Newport Beach, California

Meet Meeko! This fearless, brainy puppy is 3 months old, 10.5 pounds, and gaining a steady pound a week.

His story started when he was given to a homeless person staying at the Super 8 Motel in Garden Grove before coming into rescue. Today, he’s thriving and looking for a family in or near Orange County to complete his final puppy shots and neuter appointment when ready.

Meeko is great with dogs, cats, and kids. He loves playing with other dogs, but he is also completely content to self-entertain with his toys during downtime. He is very outgoing and social settings and is convinced that everyone wants to pet him (which they probably do).

Meeko is confident, fearless, highly curious, and way too smart for his own good. He has already mastered sitting and waiting patiently for his meals. He is currently teething and actively working on potty training, catching on quickly thanks to his sharp mind.

Meeko needs an active home that understands working breeds. Shepherd or working breed experience is preferred,
