Melia

My story

Melia, our sweet 2.5 Year old girl has endured so much, in such a short time. This 50 pound sweetie, originally arrived to the shelter in October 2022 after being found hungry and alone in an apartment after her owners left her behind. Once at the shelter, she was quickly reclaimed by a family member only to end up at the shelter again in June 2023. Then, October 2023 she went to foster, and was returned in January 2024 due to an incident in the home. Melia is going to need a patient home, where she can learn there are good people who want to do right by her. Since arriving back to the shelter, she has started to have mini-milestones! She is learning that leashes mean time to be walked! She is still a bit nervous in the kennels, however, once outside, she is eager to run, play and engage. Melia needs a home that respects her space and will go slow. At this time, she can be placed in an adult only home, due to general fear.
