Hi! My name is Mellie Mel and I'd love to tell you a little more about myself! I recently went on a walk with a super nice volunteer who took me to part of the Greenbelt! Have you been on a walk at that place? It was awesome!

Toys are my absolute favorite and treats are a close second. I heard some humans say I'm "treat-motivated". Whatever that means, it sounds about right! Give me all the treats!

I'd really like to be the only dog in your household. I'm crate trained so I'll be a super good girl when you have to leave for errands and such. Ask the matchmakers about me if you'd like to learn even more!

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!

Come meet your new best friend
