MEATBALL - BULLDOG / PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Bulldog / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed. Age: 6 years Size: 35 lbs Estimated breed: Bully mix Has lived with: Tolerant, social dogs Not compatible with: Kids under 16 Meatball was found wrapped in an old blanket outside a gas station in rural Georgia. We have no idea how she ended up there, but her body shows evidence of unkind treatment - sores and wounds on her body, and limbs that don't look or function the way they should. We are so happy to have her safe in foster care so we can find her the best forever family! Meatball is estimated to be 6 years old, weighs 35 lbs, and is a bully mix. As is typical with her breed, she has some ongoing orthopedic concerns her future family will need to be prepared for. Meatball has arthritis and hip dysplasia. Because her knees are also weak, surgery is not recommended. She takes daily joint supplements (Dasuquin) and should continue through the rest of her life! Behavior wise, Meatball is a typical bully combo of fun, energy, spunk, and love! She has lived with tolerant, social dogs and does well after an initial decompression period. Meatball is sensitive to changes and thrives in routine, so transitions can cause her to become more anxious which leads to guarding behavior of her crate. The good news is this behavior completely goes away once she’s settled and comfortable, and her fosters and trainer have a routine that sets her up for success with transitions! Once she’s settled in, Meatball is a little tank of pure love. She enjoys playing with her doggie foster sister, napping throughout the day, and cuddling with her humans. She’s on the lower energy side but enjoys walks from her cart and brief playtime in the yard. Meatball will thrive with a family who can continue her training and provide her with some basic structure and routine.
