My heart breaks that poor Melia waits each day for someone to adopt her. It's like a never ending Ground Hog's day. Let's skip to the end and find her family. Please keep sharing until she's adopted. Then we can all rejoice in your happy ending. 🙏💖🐾
Dreaming of a quiet adult only home, taking nice walks, running around, playing, sitting by her special human, going for car rides, getting belly rubs, and enjoying life! With no dogs. Make her dream true ❤️

Every day, I keep hoping and praying that Melia's family will arrive and happily welcome her into their family. Apparently, it wasn't today. Let's keep sharing and get this cutie the family she deserves. 🙏💖🐾
It's important to me to always thank you all for sharing MELIA. You're taking time to repost and writing your own posts!! I appreciate it so much. As most of you know I do not work for the shelter. 💖

Please continue to share Melia.
After 820+ days in the shelter, it’s a matter of time and exposure. She doesn’t deserve to wait another year. The right person is out there.
Located in Hempstead, NY. Training funded for the lucky adopter or rescue group who pulls Melia.

#Melia #NY
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you have been reposting MELIA and writing your own posts! She didn't find her home in 2025. But 2026 she will! Shes a precious soul who just needs that right home.
