Mel (Melatonin)

Meet Mel! Mel is 13 years old, about 6.5 lbs, and every bit the tiny lady. She may act shy for the first few minutes, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet and spunky personality comes right out.<br/><br/>Mel loves being included in everyday life. Whether you're doing dishes, folding laundry, gardening, getting ready for the day, or relaxing on the couch, she is perfectly happy nearby keeping you company. She isn't overly clingy--she just likes being part of the action and knowing what her humans are up to!<br/><br/>One of Mel's cutest quirks is her little prance. She has a tiny ballerina step and loves dancing her way around the house. She also enjoys sunny afternoons outside, leisurely walks, and exploring new places. At home, she has no problem using couch stairs or hopping onto the back of the couch to keep watch over her kingdom. 👑☀️<br/><br/>Mel is good with other dogs and enjoys playing with pups around her own size, although she definitely knows when she has had enough and isn't afraid to say so! She appreciates having a cozy space of her own where she can nap and recharge. She could happily live with a compatible small dog, but she may secretly enjoy being the center of attention too.<br/>She is crate trained, good on a leash, and still working on potty training, but she will let you know when she needs to go outside. Mel can take a little longer to warm up to men, so patience is important while she gets comfortable.<br/><br/>Because she enjoys having her space respected, Mel would likely do best with adults or older and respectful children.<br/><br/>Mel's perfect family is simply one that wants a little companion to share life with. Walks, couch time, sunshine, errands, adventures--she is ready for all of it. Give her a little time to settle in, and you'll have a sweet, loyal bestie who will happily keep all your secrets. 🥹💕<br/><br/>To apply to have your home considered for adoption, read about our adoption process or fees, and find out about interstate transport, please visit our website at https://longwayhome.org/adopt.<br/><br/>❤ <br/>Long Way Home makes no guarantees on breed--most animals we receive from shelters are mixed breeds.
