Hi! My name is Melody! I am a 4-year-old, spayed female mutt who is looking for a loving, forever home. I am sweet and friendly. I love affection and having my ears scratched. I like to play with other dogs and to romp and run in the yard, chasing toys and being silly. I am a total sweetheart though. I love to love and just want a home where I'll never be abandoned again. Please give me that chance. Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.
