Melody loves dogs and people!

She was rescued from a high-kill shelter (Devore Animal Shelter) in San Bernardino, California. The rescue organization that pulled her from the shelter urgently needs to find someone who can foster her for two weeks. Ideally, this person would live in California, but out of state foster parents are also welcome.

Good with Pets & Kids: Does well with other small dogs and is very playful with children (lived with kids as young as 11).
Great Manners: Walks well on a leash, knows basic commands like "sit," "down," and "wait," is great in the car, and is partially housebroken.
Playful & Friendly: He loves people, running, walking, playing fetch, and is currently in his fun puppy stage!

Sweet 11-Month-Old Pup Needs Immediate Adoption or Rescue Placement
Dopey is an 11-month-old, 65 lb puppy who desperately needs a home or rescue group. He arrived at the shelter as a stray three weeks ago with his brother. After catching a brief upper respiratory infection, he was placed on kennel confinement.
Being stuck inside a small kennel without exercise or enrichment has been stressful for such a young dog, causing him to bark and growl at his kennel door. Because of this, he is now scheduled for euthanasia on Wednesday, 9/9, anytime after 8:00 AM.
Out in the shelter yard, Dopey’s true personality shines:
Affectionate & Smart: Loves belly rubs, knows basic commands for treats, and likes playing with toys.
Dog Friendly: Participated in playgroups 5 times. While he can be anxious or selective at times, he did well overall with the other dogs in the yard.
Please share his story or step forward to foster, adopt, or rescue him before it is too late.
