Mela

Mela is an adoptable female Pit Bull Terrier looking for a home at Dallas Animal Services in Dallas, Texas. She is a young adult and medium in size. She is currently on the shelter's euthanasia list with just one day left, listed due to lack of space. Adopting Mela, or even sharing her story, could save a life before it's too late.

Mela is a cautious girl who is still adjusting to the shelter environment and learning that new people can be friends. She can be nervous when first approached and prefers having space to get comfortable at her own pace. With some patience (and a few tasty treats!), Mela has shown that she's willing to engage, sniff new friends and begin building trust. She'll benefit from a patient adopter who can give her the time and space she needs to settle in and let her personality emerge. Contact us about Mela today! Due to capacity at the shelter, this pet is at risk. If you are interested in adopting, fostering or rescuing this dog, email dasadopt@dallas.gov When emailing, please leave a callback number.
