MELIA has guarding issues. Both with food & toys. She was abandoned by her "family" in their apartment. No food/water. Starving! She was rescued and put into foster. The foster being inexperienced with guarding she bit them. Melia will learn in her forever home she will never starve again. 👇

Oh my girl, 🥺 we're all hoping the next car you go in to have some peace and quiet will be the one to drive you home. MELIA is tired of the noisy shelter. All she needs is an adult only home, a cozy bed, peaceful walks, and someone to love her. She can live with cats. No dogs. Come on
