Melody is an expressive girl who was searching for a way to describe herself to a potential family. One night, we saw a little light on in her kennel way past bedtime and heard sounds of scribbling. The next morning, we found the following poem tucked underneath her pillow:
Me. By: Melody
I wish my life was full of song as would my name suggest
Instead it's quiet, still and hushed without a family blessed.
My first home was no fairytale, my father gone, arrested
Leaving me in dire straits, outside and flea infested.
I waited, head between my paws, for rescue to arrive
and much to my surprise it did and I began to thrive.
Awaiting me, a bath, good food, a soft and fluffy bed
no longer living with a heart so filled with fear and dread.
I'm told I am a special girl, the company I seek
is rarely one with fur or tails amused by toys that squeak.
I long for humans, of any shape or size
my love of them is boundless and forever will abide.
So, if you want a Melody sung to you and you alone
call Twilight Tails immediately I'm waiting by the phone.
Well. To say we were stunned is an understatement. Not. One. Typo. Melody is a gorgeous 5 to 6 year-old, 60lb, thoughtful, observant, intelligent golden-toned German Shepherd who would love nothing more than to explore the world by your side. She loves to walk and is excellent on a leash. She leans in for love and makes sure to express her appreciation. She is an avid ball player, but back home, she'll happily trade her running and fetching for evenings of cuddles and snuggles. Melody gets along well with the horses, cows, goats and donkeys on the Rescue Ranch.
Ideal Home
Melody would thrive in a home where she can explore the world by your side and enjoy evenings of cuddles and snuggles. She is dog selective, better with little dogs than big, but would probably be best in a one-dog home.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Melody is excellent on a leash and enjoys playing ball. She is a thoughtful, observant, and intelligent dog who clearly knows how to express herself!
Application Details:

Transporation
Melody is currently being fostered at our Rescue Ranch near Houston, TX, but can be brought close to your home on rescue transport which comes through your area once a month. Transport is provided by AJC Rescue & Transport and consists of air conditioned/heated vans driven by a team of two drivers who alternate. You will be included in a group chat to track your dog through transport and will be given an exact location and scheduled time of arrival. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport.
