MELISSA's Story

Meet Melissa. Just like her Real Housewives of New Jersey namesake, Melissa knows how to charm a room and make other girls green with ENVY. This Jersey girl is serving main-character energy with a heart of gold. She’s friendly, confident, and ready to be the star of her own forever home.<br/><br/>Melissa does well with most other dogs and is great with kids, making her a fabulous fit for a family looking to add a little sparkle to their life. She hasn’t been tested with cats yet, so that chapter of her storyline is still TBD.<br/><br/> If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings love, fun, and just a touch of reality-TV flair (minus the drama), Melissa is ready to join your cast and steal your heart.

Peoria Animal Welfare Shelter's Adoption Policy

Thank you for your interest in adopting with us. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we have made some changes to the adoption process. When you find the animal, you are interested in, we will send you an application that will need to be approved before you meet the animal. Once you are approved, we will schedule an appointment time to visit with the animal. Most animals will be able to go home the day you meet them, if not within 24 hours. All our animals will have their first round of vaccines including rabies (if old enough). They will be spayed or neutered and microchipped before going home. Please contact us for an adoption application or with any question. 309-672-2440 PCAPS@peoriacounty.org
