Sheltie available in Bakersfield, CA

I actually have several reasons besides Melli.

We have a very steep staircase and a 6 pound dog might have trouble. We have a baby gate the cats go under to get to food and litter. Something that little would walk right under whereas Shay & Melli don't. Melli probably wouldn't like another female as she is spoiled and jealous. It wouldn't be fair because my husband and Shay are best buds. Melli is my best bud. If I got a tiny little thing I would coddle, protect, take with me and leave with my mom while I shopped or got into therapy visiting Melli would just be home sort of pushed aside.

Melli and I have things to do and it's her time to shine. Maybe in a year or so but it's not time. I am certain she will get placed like in a week, but I will be watching.

 

Just contacted the shelter -- this dog has many applications on her. Not yet in a home, but many to choose from so very very soon.

I am super glad.

 

I happen to know this shelter will, um, give priority consideration for a sizeable extra donation.

Someone once offered them $1000 + adoption fee for Golden who was already deposited on and waiting for the spay before pickup. That person got the dog. That's how come I don't have a golden.

Couldn't really blame them, they had some big bills to pay at the time, and Melody is the result of that.

I probably could have gotten this dog if I had tried and waved the cash a bit, but my home is stable for now.

 

I was pretty sad at the time, but figured it was "God" intervening -- I mean, who starts a bidding war on a rescue AFTER it has been marked pending? That was the point we decided to go smaller and then Melli turned up.
