Ms. Wonderful Melania

Hi… I’m Melania.<br/><br/>I’m a small Dachshund mix, about 8 years old, and I weigh just 13 pounds. I may be little, but I’ve lived a lifetime already.<br/><br/>I’m spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and healthy, but the thing I want most isn’t found in a medical chart.<br/>It’s found in a family…<br/>a lap…<br/>a warm voice…<br/>a safe place to rest my head.<br/><br/>I am traveling from Southern California to live with my foster family in Ridgefield, WA by middle of February. I can also travel to Vancouver, BC if there is a potential adopter for me. My adoption fee is $700USD<br/><br/>Adoption Application Link: https://forms.gle/rh4RkabUr7fYkRDV9<br/>(If not clickable, copy & paste into your browser)<br/><br/>Here is my story:<br/>I spent many years giving everything I had. I was a good girl. I was a mother. I tried my best.<br/>But when I grew older, I was no longer needed. One day, my son Max and I were left behind by the breeder who had kept us. I stayed close to him, trying to be brave, even though my heart was breaking. I didn’t understand why love suddenly stopped.<br/><br/>I remember feeling invisible… like I had outlived my purpose.<br/><br/>Now I’m safe—but I’m still learning that I matter.<br/>I’m quiet, gentle, and grateful for every kind touch. I’m fully potty trained and get along with everyone—dogs big and small, cats, children, and all humans. I don’t know how to be anything but sweet.<br/><br/>Most days, you’ll find me sitting by the window, letting the sun warm my tired little body while I watch the world pass by. I wonder what it would feel like to belong again… to have a home where no one leaves, where I can rest without fear.<br/><br/>I don’t need much. I don’t run fast or ask for adventures.<br/>All I want is a soft bed, a peaceful home, and someone who will choose me—not just for now, but forever.<br/><br/>If you open your heart to me, I promise to give you a love that is quiet, loyal, and endlessly thankful. I’ve waited so long to be someone’s “enough.”<br/><br/>My name is Melania… and I’m ready to finally come home.

Hi… I’m Melania.

I’m a small Dachshund mix, about 8 years old, and I weigh just 13 pounds. I may be little, but I’ve lived a lifetime already.

I’m spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and healthy, but the thing I want most isn’t found in a medical chart.
It’s found in a family…
a lap…
a warm voice…
a safe place to rest my head.

I am traveling from Southern California to live with my foster family in Ridgefield, WA by middle of February. I can also travel to Vancouver, BC if there is a potential adopter for me. My adoption fee is $700USD
