Tuna Melt is settling in beautifully and showing everyone what a sweet little companion she is.She’s doing well around other dogs and has adjusted nicely. She’s very people oriented and absolutely a Velcro girl who loves to be close. Being picked up and carried? Yes, please. She’s happiest right by your side.She’s feeling much better after her dental surgery and her appetite is improving. She’s eating softened kibble and especially enjoys it with a little chicken, cheese, or hot dog on top.Tuna Melt loves cozy spots and can often be found curled up in a dog bed. She’s doing great going potty outside with no accidents in the house. While she’ll explore the yard, she has made it very clear that snow is not her thing.Tuna Melt is currently on medical hold awaiting surgery at UC Davis to repair her broken jaw. Her procedure is scheduled in about six weeks, and we expect her to be released for adoption in April once she has fully healed.She’s sweet, loyal, and blossoming more every day.
