Melly Cocker Spaniel & Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Mix Des Moines, IA

ADOPTED OCT-19-2018: Yay! I found my new home!

PUPDATE Aug 8-2018: Melly is quiet, sweet little older girl, about 12 years young, who is dealing with a thyroid issue right now. It’s going to take some time for her skin to clear up but hopefully the medication we have her on now is the correct dosage and she’ll start feeling better. She’s also got something going on with her eyes and we’ve got medication for her eyeballs, too. Bless her little heart…she’s so good about everything.

Melly is overweight but again, that is probably due to her thyroid not working correctly. She’s in a great foster home so we’ll just give her a bit of time to start feeling like a new girl. At the moment, her specialty is napping. She can find the comfiest bed in the house and that’s where she’s going to park it.

Melly and her buddy, Murphy, have been loved all their lives but their Mom got sick so that’s why they’re FluffyButt kids now. They’re doing well with us and we’ll help them find the second greatest homes of their lives.

Melly's donation is $275

Fill out an application on our website if you're interested in being adopted by this cute kid. It's the first step in the pawcess.

ADOPTIONS: We don't let the fact that you might live out of state stop any adoption that's meant to be, but you MUST be willing to drive, or fly, all the way to pick up your new family member. We do not ship these kids on airplanes by themselves - we think they'd have a hard time getting through security without their rabies tag setting off the metal detectors. If the kid needs a health certificate because they're flying home, that will be an expense for the new family.

ADOPTION DONATIONS: When you see the adoption donation amounts, we'd like you to know that 90% of the time the donation amount doesn't even come close to covering that kid's dogtor bills. This is definitely not a money-making venture. We're usually so far in the hole but the impawtant thing is to get these kids the medical care they need and help them find the pawfect family. That's our top pawority. (I just can't resist using "paw" whenever I can!)

POTTY TRAINING: Please note that we NEVER say our kids are 100% potty-trained. How stupid would we be to say something like that? If you're willing to be trained by your new family member, please fill out an application. If you're looking for a totally potty-trained kid, you may as well stop at the toy store on your way home from work and buy a stuffed toy because those are the only reliable ones to NOT potty in your home. There is a period of adjustment, not just for the new family member but for everyone in the house. You must be patient, understanding, and willing to work with your new family member. It can take anywhere from several days to several months. You must be 100% committed to this, it's a lifetime commitment.

HUG AND KISS YOUR KIDLETS LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW.

Please be patient with us - we're taking care of a lot of kids - our own and the foster kids - and we have families, homes and full time jobs. We're giving meds to the sick kids, playing with the healthy kids, and loving on all the kids. We're doing their laundry, trying to teach them manners and where to do their business, and cleaning up their accidents. In other words, we're just a little busy but we'll return email inquiries just as fast as we pawssibly can. Thanks!
