Story
Mel is looking for her perfect match: a loving home where she can be the only pet and truly shine. Though she's currently timid of other animals, including cats, any reactions she has are driven purely by fear rather than aggression. Mel is making strides toward overcoming her fears, and she's even had multiple playful interactions with another dog after some careful introductions, showing that deep down, she wants to connect. Her journey to feel comfortable around other pets will need continued patience, with a dedicated handler who can guide her through her fears alongside a professional trainer. A younger adopter with a gentle approach could be ideal to help her blossom. Mel is a huge cuddle bug and likes to stick near her person. Couch time is a fan favorite in her foster home, and she is always making her foster laugh with her silly antics (like sitting like a human or rolling up as tight as a cinnamon roll). Mel would excel in dog sports-she's got the athleticism and drive to dominate any field! If sports aren't your thing, she'd also thrive in a semi-active home. While she's content to lounge on the couch all day, she needs regular exercise like any other dog, such as a 1-2 mile walk or a vigorous play session. Her favorite activity? The flirt pole-it's the highlight of her day, and she can't get enough! Are you ready to help Mel unlock her full potential?

Story
I've had the pleasure of fostering Jackie for about a month now. She is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. I had originally met her a few weeks earlier when I was fostering another dog and brought them in to meet a potential adopter. She had just come back from a dog day out and was super shy but I got her to come up to me and say hi and she gave me a hug and I said I would be fostering her next if she was still available. It took her a few days to start warming up to me and to take in her new environment but over time she's gotten more comfortable going outside and walking around in the yard. She has heartworm so I haven't really taken her on long walks or played with her much but you can tell once she's feeling better she's going to be a lot of fun. For now she gets lots of rest on the couch or in bed. She has no problem making herself at home once she's comfortable with you and her environment. She's full of love and will cuddle with you all day. She loves belly rubs. She knows her name and is very treat motivated. We taught her how to walk up and down stairs because that was new for her and she will go to the door when she needs to go potty. She gets lots of compliments on how cute she is and does well around strangers and other dogs even if they are barking at her. I can't wait for her to find her forever home and I know whoever that ends up being is going to love her as much as I do."

Fun Facts About James! - He is house trained and crate trained. - He's a lower energy dog who would love to live a quiet life in the suburbs somewhere. - James LOVES to give hugs to his humans. - He is great at matching energy. If you want to spend the day on the couch or need to get some work done from home he is a really chill guy. If you want to play or run around the backyard he is happy to do that with you. - He is a home body. James does NOT want to be an adventure dog. He's had enough excitement bouncing through a couple different shelters in his first year of life. You don't need to feel badly about not wanting to go for a walk or not wanting to take him to brunch with you. He doesn't really want to go either. - He would love to have another dog and a backyard. He has been good with both small and large dogs. He REALLY wants to be our cat's friend, but they do not want to be his so how he would be truly living with cats is still TBD. - You will never have to wonder where James is as he will happily follow you from room to room. Want to close the bathroom door? Don't worry James will be waiting when you get out. - James' biggest fear is large wooden spoons. If you are using one to stir he will excuse himself from the kitchen. - James is not a big barker in the house, he maybe barks at passers by and delivery drivers 10% of the time. - Having a party and don't want the dog to eat the horderves? James would prefer not to be part of the party anyway and will happily hang out in the other room with a kong. - James is an INCREDIBLY easy dog to have in the home, he loves his humans, but is an introvert.While he will completely accept new people coming into your home do not expect him to be the dog that is going to be sitting in their laps within 10 minutes of meeting them.
