Melanie gets a home!

Who could resist a sales pitch like this…

UPDATE!!!! Melanie has become very very very stressed at the shelter, and needs a home of her own asap. She is depressed, and barely moves when her shelter moms are not at the shelter.

Sweet Melanie is a 4 year old female Black Lab mix. She has been at Hillside SPCA for over 2 years now, and is really ready for a home. She is adorable, and such a sweetheart, she loves to give kisses, and go for walks. Melanie was brought in by the dog warden when her owners kept leaving her to run the neighborhood. She has been with us since then. She loves other dogs, and is good with older children.

She has two shelter moms who she worships, unfortunately their home is already full of other dogs, and she just cannot go home with them, she really needs to find her own home. Melanie loves to go hiking, and walking, she LOVES when you get the leash down and spins in circles in excitement, until you get the leash on her then she's ready to go!!

Melanie gives the best kisses, and knows how to sit, and wait patiently for her snacks, she is a good eater, and loves to play with some of the other dogs. She would be ideal in a home with someone active who will take her for hikes, and walks often, she would even be a great jogger.  Sometimes at first meeting Mel can be very shy, but she quickly overcomes the shyness, and will be your best friend if you take her for a nice long walk, and give her some treats. Melanie's ideal home would be someone active, who has time to walk her often, with another dog or two, if any kids, they should be 12 years or older, and NO cats. Mel is no fan of kitties. Melanie loves Dunkin Donut's coolatas, and sour gummi worms, haha, she's really a special girl, who has been waiting so long for a home.

On the days that her shelter moms don't work she just lays in a dog house all day, and won't even come out, and her shelter mom's can't be there forever so it's time she gets her own home!!! She's just another black dog, that is ignored day after day while the tan, white, brown, and other "cuter" dogs get homes.  Please help us find the right home for Mel, no dog should spend 2 years at a shelter, she should live her life on a sofa, and on long walks.

Happily, Melanie is now living the good life in her forever home with Karen, Jim and her new best buddy Hobbes (her couch companion above).
