My story

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

Meet Melissa - This Sweet Girl Has Fans Wherever She Goes!

Melissa is a very sweet and affectionate girl who truly loves people. While she won’t turn down a yummy treat if one is offered, what she really craves is human affection. Pets, praise, and gentle attention mean more to her than snacks ever could.
She is dog-friendly and praise-motivated, making her a joy to spend time with and an easy companion for walks and daily routines. On leash, Melissa behaves nicely and enjoys taking her time to sniff and explore the world around her.

Melissa is a social butterfly. Everywhere she goes, people stop to pet her and tell her what a good girl she is, and she happily soaks up the attention. One of her cutest quirks is how she gently raises her paw to touch you when she wants your attention.

She is not much of a barker, which makes her a pleasant and easygoing presence in the home. With her loving nature, friendly personality, and charming manners, Melissa is ready to bring joy and companionship to her forever family.
