Melanie - A848638

Melanie - A848638

A perfectly schmedium princess! Melanie enjoys hanging out with dogs and people but likes to get to know new friends a little bit first. She'd love to hang at home or go on adventures together. Fair warning… she can be a bit of a Houdini! Being left alone isn’t her thing—she may be small but she can scale a big fence when you're not looking. She’s got big ‘can’t be contained’ energy for such a baby girl. We love her free spirit, but she needs a home with humans who will help keep her safe!

Melanie is lovely to walk on leash, and she’s done well with lots of dogs here. She's even been buddied up with a few to share a kennel at the shelter. So, if you have other large dogs that would like a fur-sister, we think she would be happy to share your attention with them, but she'd prefer a home without young human siblings!
