Located At: Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter
Description: My name is Melia.
I am a female, black and white Terrier mix.
I am a female, black and white Terrier mix.
Age: The shelter staff think I am about 3 years old.
More Info: I have been at the shelter since Jan 23, 2024.
Melia is a stunning, sensitive soul who has endured far more than any dog should. She first came to the shelter in October 2022 after being found alone and hungry, left behind in an empty apartment when her owners moved away. Although a family member briefly reclaimed her, Melia returned to the shelter in June 2023, and after a foster placement, she sadly found herself back again in January 2024 following an incident in the home. Despite this difficult journey, Melia has held onto her gentle nature and continues to show us just how deep her heart runs. She continues to make steady, meaningful progress and truly shines once she’s outside the kennel, where her calm and affectionate side emerges. Melia enjoys peaceful walks, exploring the outdoors, and sharing quiet companionship with people she trusts. Melia is searching for a solo pet, adult-only home with someone who understands that trust takes time and that patience, consistency, and kindness can be life changing. She is the kind who will reward your compassion with unwavering loyalty and a bond that’s truly special. If you believe in second chances and have room in your heart for a dog still learning that the world can be kind, Melia is waiting to meet you.
