My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Melina, a remarkable pup whose calm and comforting presence makes her the perfect companion. Melina recently enjoyed a sleepover and proved to be an excellent house guest, spending the night in my room without any accidents-though we've discovered her current cage is a bit too snug. This morning, she was the picture of tranquility and even braved the rain to go outside.

Melina is a snuggly friend who loves to be close, whether it's curling up on the kitchen floor while dinner's being prepared or navigating the three steps on the deck despite her challenging left back leg. She's a little mouthy as she's still learning, but responds well to gentle correction and loves chewing on appropriate toys.

If you're looking for a sweet, resilient companion who loves cozy moments and can handle a bit of rain, Melina might just be your dream match. Ready to meet her? Get in touch to learn how she can become part of your family.
