Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. *Name: Cantaloupe *Age: 5 years old *Current Weight: 69 lbs *Adoption fee: $250 Meet Cantaloupe! The sweetest slice of Love you will ever meet. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, easygoing best friend… Cantaloupe is your girl. She loves long walks, rolling around in fresh snow like it’s the greatest gift on earth, and yes, she TEARS STUFFIES TO SHREDS with pure joy (consider yourself warned ). It’s her art form. Her passion. Her calling. Beyond her impressive stuffie-destruction skills, Cantaloupe is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. She adores being with her people, happily tags along with all of our volunteers, and is super easygoing. She walks beautifully on leash, loves car rides, enjoys her chewies and approved treats, and is simply content just being by your side. She’s the kind of dog who just wants to love and be loved. Cantaloupe is currently at our shelter and although she has been in foster care with other dogs, we’ve learned is that she truly thrives when she doesn’t have to share her people. She bonds deeply and would do best as the one and only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the attention and be your devoted shadow. She doesn’t need canine siblings… she just needs you. Cantaloupe has unfortunately suffered from severe allergies that went untreated for years before she was rescued. Her ears were in terrible shape, and she has already had a TECA surgery on one ear thanks to the rescue. She’s now on a special diet and medications to help heal and manage her remaining ear — and here’s the important part: The rescue is committed to paying for her medications and special food to support her in her forever home. Her allergies do not define her. They just mean she needs someone willing to give her the chance she has always deserved. Cantaloupe is truly the perfect companion — gentle, affectionate, loyal, and endlessly sweet. She just needs someone to see past her medical history and see the incredible heart she has to offer. Please consider opening your home to this special girl. She’s been waiting far too long for her happily ever after.
