About this Dog
I'm a very sensitive, worried boy who needs lots of time to get used to new environments. I keep to myself until I feel safe. Once I relax, I'm easily excited and I shred my toys with gusto. My favorite things are squeakers and cheese! I'll need a dog-savvy home with gentle people who understand my stress and go slow with me. Would you like to meet me? Ask about me today! Kids: Kids: 13+, very timid and quietly anxious, nippy in foster home, tries to play with people's hands Dogs: Very nervous, stiff and high posture, does not want to be sniffed, tries to mount and hump. Not a fan of face-to-face interactions; may snap if pushed. Very slow and careful intros with tolerant dogs.

Adopt Meatball and Receive Meatball's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Meatball's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Meatball's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Meatball, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Meatball's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Meatball was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Meatball’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Meatball’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Meatball’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
