My name is
Melody!

Hi there, my name is Melody. My foster family says that once I feel safe with you I'm a sweet, adorable, loyal, and kind dog. I prefer to keep my distance with stangers and surround myself with only people I trust. I can be a bit timid and unsure about meeting new people, but with patience, treats, and squeaky toys, I am sure to come around. I'm my happiest with people who understand how to respect my boundaries, so I will need a home without children.

Some other things that I love are playing fetch and getting my belly rubbed. I am a high energy girl, but it's nothing that a long game of fetch can't work out of me. I am a fetch pro! I will bring my toy back to you when I'm ready for another throw. Squeaky toys, especially squeaky tennis balls, are the love of my life! By nature I'm a herding dog, so activities that get out this urge, like playing with a herding ball and mental enrichment, are crucial to keeping me happy. For the most part, I'm a homebody; I just like to lay close by you and chew on my toys or go play fetch in the backyard. I'm really good at shredding cloth toys though, so unless you want to pick up fluff all the time, you might want to avoid leaving me with anything that's stuffed.

I'm still learning commands, but as long as you have food in your hand, I'm really good at sitting. While the crate isn't my favorite place to be, I do know when I need to go into it, but I can get a bit wild if I'm left alone in it for too long. I've also done well being left alone not in a crate and didn't get into anything that I wasn't supposed to. Though I may have an accident here or there, I've been doing really well with my house training. I'm doing good with my leash training, and I get excited to go on walks with my people.
