Melba is a playful, enthusiastic young dog, about 4 years old. She’s energetic and very athletic (she can jump!), and would most likely do well in agility. Since she’s smart and food-motivated, she’ll be lots of fun to train. She has proved to be a little too interested in cats, so will be best placed in a cat-free home. Melba is looking for an active, committed family who’ll make sure she stays active (mentally and physically!), and who would enjoy taking her to obedience class.
