**Melissa will be available for adoption at Rosedale Mills, Pennington, NJ, over the Aug 18-20 weekend**

Melissa and her siblings were all abandoned by their former owner who moved from their property after their electricity and water had been shut off. The couple simply left all of their dogs behind, which included 15 month old puppies and 4 adult dogs.

Being one of the smaller females, Melissa is also one of the sweetest. She has a calm personality but also loves to play. She loves her toys and enjoys playing with her siblings. Melissa should do very well in just about any home situation.

As of Aug 8 Melissa has received her rabies, bordetella and 2 of 3 of her  first year puppy vaccines. She's also been de-wormed on two occasions, treated against parasites and tapeworms as well as kept on her monthly flea/tick and heart worm preventatives. Melissa's adopter must agree to having her spay once she reaches 6 months of age and provide proof of such to our rescue.
