Fall River’s Melody has had a rough life, but once she warms up, she’s all wiggles!

Meet Fall River Forever Paws Pet of the Week Melody!

Melody is the tiniest of the Cane Corsos that Forever Paws received from the New Bedford case weighing in at only about 68lbs! If they had to guess, they’d say that she has some boxer in there as well. She’s estimated to be about four years old.

As most of you know, Melody came to FP with twenty other dogs from a cramped apartment in New Bedford where she was being kept in the attic. She was in pretty rough shape when she came to them, covered in urine and feces with partially healed wounds on her face.

Understandably so, Melody is a nervous girl at first that takes some time to warm up but, when she does…she’s all wiggles! She’ll hop into your lap and make herself comfortable, whether you are as well or not. She always wants her face right next to yours so that you’re readily available for her infinite kisses. She still needs some help just…learning how to be a dog! The leash is still a little bit scary, toys don’t quite make sense, and large groups of people make her nervous, but she’s getting there!

Other dogs are okay, but no cats, and kids must be 10-12+. You must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member. Fenced in yard preferred. Breed experience or similar breed experience preferred.
