Cars are passing by, no one stops to meet MELIA. You can see she's just tired of shelter life. Over 810 days. Shes only 3.5 years old. Needing a quiet Adult only home, no dogs. 🥺

New York. About Melia Melia is a sensitive 3-year-old female dog who arrived at the shelter in October 2022 after being found abandoned in an empty apartment. Despite being briefly reclaimed and fostered, she has been returned to the shelter multiple times and has spent over 800 days there as of late 2025. Personality: Melia has a gentle spirit and thrives outside the stressful kennel environment, enjoying peaceful walks and quiet companionship with people she trusts. She is a bit nervous and needs a patient home that can help her learn to feel safe. Ideal Home: She requires a calm, low-traffic, adult-only home with no other dogs. An experienced adopter who understands that building trust takes time is essential for her success.

We are currently working round the clock to save 40+ cats who were living in a home that recently burned down. These cats are in addition to the 100s we are caring for as winter is begins. We are in desperate need of food for all. If you can help we'd appreciate it.

Lluvia’s name may mean “rain,” but she brings pure sunshine! Her tail never stops wagging, she gives the best kisses, and she loves showing off her “sit” and “paw.”

She’s made lots of dog friends and enjoys relaxed play. Lluvia has lived with kids—bring the whole family to meet her!
