Mellie is a gorgeous Terrier/Yorkie mix ready for a forever home. She came to us from local animal control after being found as a stray and never reclaimed. It was reported that she had a seizure at animal control on her first day, but has not had any seizures since. Our vets completed bloodwork and an exam, which came back great. They said sometimes dogs may have seizures due to stress, if they had gotten into something toxic, or that a dog may have 1-2 seizures a year without requiring medication. Mellie does not currently require any medication for the past seizure and has been doing well. She loves greeting staff and rolling in the grass. She is looking for a home without other dogs. She can be dog reactive on leash, which can make walks more difficult, so a yard would be beneficial. Mellie can be nervous with new people, so she will require a slow introduction. She is looking for a calm home without children. Mellie LOVES to run around outside and play with toys. She does get mouthy when she gets super playful or over excited.
