Hi, I’m Melody, and I can’t wait to sing you my sweet puppy song! I am just a tiny thing, but I have so much to say, especially when I think you should feed or pet me. As a growing young lady, I know how important it is to be assertive and to tell my humans what I need… and what I want, which is all the food and all the attention! I love to show how smart I am and solve puppy toys in a flash! I am also an expert benebone chewer, but I have to admit that stuffies are no good for me—I suspect they are trying to be cuter than I am, so I make them go away by eating their insides.

I know I am perfect as I am, but my foster family would probably tell you I’m a bit of a bossy pants and would be even perfecter with a forever family who has patience for my puppy antics and can help me learn how to be a Very Good Girl and to share the spotlight a little bit. I adore every human and dog I meet, though—little ones and big ones alike—I just forget sometimes that others like and deserve to get pets as much as I do. I’m already as snuggly as can be and am happiest when I get to snooze the day away in my human’s chair while she works. Her coworkers say I’m the best Zoom Meeting snorer they’ve ever heard! I really like having someone home all day, but as long as I get to go outside often so I don’t have accidents in the house, I would be a great fit just about anywhere.

I am such a brave girl and even though I’m not even a year old yet, I’ve already had lots of adventures. I heard my foster family say I was surrendered by a breeder because there was a dermoid cyst on my right eye. But that’s just one of the many things that make me so special, and I am totally ok now! They give me drops every day to make sure my eyes stay bright and sparkly, and I can’t really see out of that one eye, but that doesn’t bother me at all, because I know I would make the world’s cutest pirate anyway! I will let you in on a little secret: when I start new adventures, I like to pretend to be a little timid at first, so I can get the lay of the land and figure out the best spots for naps, playing, and getting treats. But once I have the place figured out, I let all the kids, adults, and other animals see what a sweet, spunky, silly, and snuggly ball of affection I am. I can’t wait to shower my forever family in all the love and devotion I’ve been saving just for them!
