About Mellie

Meet Mellie, a charming young lady at about 1.5 years old, ready to capture hearts with her sweet demeanor. This adorable Dachshund/Pomeranian mix, with her fluffy tail and perky ears, is playful, affectionate, and full of love. Mellie thrives on attention and gets along famously with dogs of all sizes. Mellie’s journey started on a rough note when her previous owner could no longer care for her, leaving her underweight. Thankfully, she's found a loving foster home in Texas, where she’s gaining weight and confidence. She enjoys playtime with her furry friends and has a penchant for toys, especially stuffed ones. She’s medium-energy, balancing her time between playful antics and cuddles. A home with a fenced yard and another dog would make her incredibly happy. Plus, she’s already housetrained, uses a doggy door, and behaves beautifully when given free roam of the house. Mellie is looking for a family that will cherish her sweetness. After everything she has been through, she deserves a forever home filled with love and happiness. Could that be with you? With an adoption fee of $600, Mellie is vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. Don’t wait too long—she’s ready to start her new adventure. Click apply to start the adoption process.
