MEL's Story

Mel ID #18803 Kennel #22 Arrived May 6th American Pit Bull Terrier Mix Black and White Female 1 Year, 4 Months Old 61 lbs (Estimated Adult Weight: 6065 lbs) Spayed Up to Date on Vaccines Heartworm Negative<br/><br/>Meet Mel, a one-year-and-four-month-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix who arrived at Cobb Animal Services on May 6th. She is a striking black and white girl with a beautiful white blaze across her face, a broad chest, and warm brown eyes that look right at you. At 61 pounds and nearly at her adult size, Mel is estimated to stay right around 60 to 65 pounds.<br/><br/>Mel is a nice girl who knows what she wants she has already mastered sit, and with someone who makes training engaging and rewarding, she will keep right on learning. She will thrive with an adopter who turns every lesson into quality time together.<br/><br/>Mel's journey to get here was not a simple one. She was rehomed by her owner and ended up at a shelter in Spalding County. Her former owner was contacted and actually flew to Georgia to retrieve her but rather than taking her home, brought her here and left no information and no path forward for her. Through no fault of her own, Mel found herself here, starting over and waiting for the home she deserves.<br/><br/>Mel is ready for someone who will see her for what she is a good girl who just needs the right person to stick around. She has so much to give, and all she is asking for is a chance. If you are looking for a loyal, beautiful companion to grow with, Mel might just be exactly who you have been looking for.<br/><br/>Note - all the listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers.
