About Melanie
Some dogs don't need to be the loudest in the room to steal your heart. Melanie is one of those dogs. At about 6 years old and 55 pounds, this Portuguese Water Dog mix has a calm and gentle presence that feels familiar from the moment you meet her. She is simply easy to live with. Melanie is potty trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and gets along great with cats and small dogs. Her foster notes her incredible self-control, as she completely ignores the 8-week-old kitten in the house. Melanie enjoys the simple pleasures: long walks, belly rubs, cuddles on the couch, and being close to her people. While a bit unsure around larger dogs, she can adapt well with slow introductions. She also does nicely with older children, thanks to her soft and gentle nature. Some dogs bring constant laughter, but Melanie brings a peaceful vibe to your home. If you’re seeking a loyal companion who embraces life, love, and adventure, Melanie may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. Click apply to start the adoption process.
