Melody was abandoned outside the shelter years ago with a mangled leg. Her leg eventually needed to be amputated, but Melody never stopped smiling. Melody was recently returned after her owner got a new job and she is desperately looking for a forever home. Melody isn't a big fan of other animals, so she prefers to be your only pet.
