what a face!

MELANIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:  Melanie     Best Guess for Breed:  Shepherd mix

Best Guess for Age:  2 years as of September 2020     SEX:  Female

Approximate Weight:  50 lbs

Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen Melanie with kids or cats but she can be tested

Currently Living at:  Shelter

Special adoption considerations: Melanie tested positive for Heartworm disease and has been treated on 9/28/20. Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites.  Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process.  

Melanie is Looking For:  This sweet girl wants her forever family, in her own home! The shelter staff have told her all about the fun stuff she gets to do once she recovers from heartworm treatment - long sniffy walks, romps in the park, trips to all those fun places such as beaches and the toy aisle of the pet store. She can't wait! But she says what she's most excited about is curling up with her humans at the end of a long day, knowing she's safe and loved, and looking adoringly at them in exchange for scritches and ear rubs. 

What My Foster Says About Me: We will update once Melanie has spent some time with her foster
