Melissa is about 1 1/2 years old and weighs around 25 pounds.  She is great with other dogs, but can be a little shy.

Let the fine folks at Paws4ever and Melissa tell you more:

“Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m a silly, spunky, squirmy little girl with lots of energy and love to give. I briefly lived in a home before being rescued, so I know some basic commands like “sit” and “down,” but still need to learn my manners. I love to run around, and I can go really fast, but sometimes I need help learning how to slow down or not run into you. I also love belly rubs, and will randomly just wiggle around on my back like a silly little wiggle worm. I would love to find an active family (without cats) willing to help me learn a few things, and I promise to be a great student and your new best friend.”

Melissa came to Paws4ever from a Burlington shelter.  She’s been there for about a month.

Paws4ever will be hosting PawsFest on Sunday, October 9.  Get your tickets now.

Paws4ever is a guaranteed-adoption animal shelter and sanctuary dedicated to improving the lives of cats and dogs through adoption, training and education.  When other adoption agencies in the area reach capacity, Paws4ever helps out.

You can find out more on paws4ever.org or by emailing adopt@paws4ever.org.
