Meet Melbi!
I’m Melbi, a one-year-old Spitz-Kokoni mix with a heart as big as my tiny body! My journey hasn’t been the easiest—I was abandoned on the streets before being rescued. Now, I’m safe, but I’m dreaming of a forever family to call my own!
I’m a sweet, affectionate girl who gets along with everyone—dogs, cats, and people of all ages. I have great manners, love to please, and I’m always ready to shower you with kisses! Belly rubs? Yes, please! Walks and new adventures? Count me in! I’m also quick to learn—I already know how to walk on a lead and where to go potty.
Even though my foster family here in Canada is taking good care of me, what I really want is a loving home where I can be my happy, amazing self. A soft bed, some fun toys, and a family to snuggle with would be my dream come true! I just LOVE cuddles!
If you’re looking for a little ray of sunshine to brighten your days, I just might be the perfect girl for you. Will you be my forever family?

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.
Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.
Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
