About Melody

Now accepting applications for Melody's personal human(s)! Melody is a lively, approximately 3-year-old Belgian Malinois weighing around 45 pounds. She’s ready to find a family who understands that she deserves all the love and attention the world has to offer. Melody is house-trained—because she is a lady—and loves her soft crate, where she can nap peacefully. Her favorite activities include playing with rope toys and receiving belly rubs, which she considers the ultimate relaxation. Although she’s quite smart, she can be a little stubborn, often weighing her options before listening to commands. This energetic girl needs an active home that can provide the exercise and adventure she craves. Homes with adults 17 and older fit her best, as she sometimes tries to herd younger kids and needs guidance. She gets along with other dogs but would also love to be the center of attention as your one and only. Melody is not suited for households with small animals, including cats, due to her high prey drive. She comes fully vetted, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Melody is looking for a companion who will appreciate her goofy personality and provide structure and love. If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy and a loving friend, consider adopting this wonderful girl. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
