About Melissa
Meet Melissa, a sweet Chiweenie who has found her way to safety after a difficult life. At around 10 years old and weighing about 16 pounds, Melissa needs a calm, patient home where she can feel secure and loved. Rescued from a hoarding situation involving numerous dogs, she’s still getting accustomed to a normal lifestyle, so she’ll thrive with gentle people who can give her the time to adjust. Despite her shy demeanor, she has captured the hearts of our volunteers and is ready to find her forever home. Melissa is eligible for our foster-to-adopt program, making it a great opportunity for those unsure about immediate adoption. If you’re interested, please reach out. While she’s gentle and doesn't require much exercise—just a few short walks each day—she is likely to need a patient family who understands the joys and challenges of senior care. She gets along with other dogs and probably with cats as well, making her a good candidate for various living situations. Having lived through quite a bit, she simply wants a loving family to call her own. Ready to welcome this lovely girl into your life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
