Melody is hoping her forever family will find her soon.
Melody is a sweet and affectionate 3-year-old pit bull-type dog weighing approximately 40 pounds. She is a little girl with plenty of love to give and is looking for a foster or forever home where she can get out of the loud and stressful shelter environment.
Melody is up to date on all of her vaccines, including her rabies vaccination. She is also spayed and currently receives flea and heartworm prevention.
