About Melly W

Melly W is a sweet, golden yellow lab with gentle eyes and a ready smile. At 7, she's spent too long in the wings, waiting for someone to see the silly, loving girl beneath the surface. Melly is playful, driven by snacks, and quick to learn—her love of treats makes training a breeze. She adores her crate, often lounging inside even when the door is open. Melly thrives in a home with a fenced yard where she can cut loose. She's affectionate and known for handing out kisses, but needs a home without young children. When meeting new people, especially men, she can be uneasy and needs someone patient who offers slow introductions.
