Melody Labrador Retriever Kennesaw, GA

A FRIENDLY & VERY ACTIVE GIRL: Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 52 lbs.

Hi, my name is Melody! I was rescued from animal control, and I sure am glad to be here! I came in with some fur loss and itchy sore skin but with lots of good care and good nutrition, my fur has grown back nicely and I’m looking so pretty! I spent some time in the prison/foster training program off site where I learned so much as I don’t think I previously received training or proper stimuli. Now, I am looking for a good leader that will continue my training so I can be best dog I can be!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I recently met dogs at Mostly Mutts, and I liked them. If you have a dog at home who would like a playmate, let’s meet and see if we can be pals! / Cats unknown. / I enjoyed meeting children recently at Mostly Mutts, but I should live with older kids (age 15+) in my new home, as I am jumpy and strong. Let’s meet!

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m described as a ‘tail-wagging girl’ – happy, energetic, goofy, exuberant, and sweet. I’ve been very playful and active, looking to have fun, so I need a family dedicated to spending time training and being active with me for me to be my best adult doggie self. / My energy level is 10, so I need a family with a strong leader who is committed to my exercise routine and continued training. Get ready to be active with your new best friend!

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts University training program so I’ve learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands. I also use proper door etiquette and have good leash manners using my gentle leader as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I have good potty habits at Mostly Mutts, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home too!

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I LOVE to play with toys, and I am quite exuberant with my puppy antics – occasionally letting out little growly vocalizations to let you know how excited I am! I especially love tennis balls, so a fenced yard where we can have great fetching games would be wonderful in my new home. I am also very treat-motivated, yum. I love people so much that I need to be in a ‘sit’ when I meet them. / I can’t think of any dislikes right now, though I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I was experiencing skin allergies and sensitivity at Mostly Mutts until the vet found that taking Apoquel daily was quite helpful to me in keeping them under control.

I am looking for a loving family dedicated to my training and to giving me a great furever home! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
