Put your paws together for Meatball!
Meatball is a big, friendly guy who was found at an abandoned auto show in North Tulsa. He came to us with some pretty bad ear, skin, and eye infections and will require monthly care that will range from $200-$500 per month. He is pretty expensive but worth every penny!
Meatball is male, 70 lbs., 4 years old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is up to date on preventions.
Let’s find Meatball a home!
