Meet Mella!







Mella was surrendered to Bonita Shelter because her guardian was suffering from dementia and could no longer take of her. When she became a Frosted Face in January 2023, she immediately captured our hearts with her happy, loving personality At only 7 years old, Mella is a fun, friendly gal that is equal parts energetic walker and mellow napper; a loving soul that melts your heart with a smile, and a great snuggler too! She gives "high fives", fetches, and plays with squeaky toys. Mella was well-loved in her previous life and it shows! 







Mella has been living in a Foster home for several months, and we received a great report from her Foster Family:







"Miss Mella Bella Boo is getting on well in our home! She gets the cutest zoomies in the morning before wanting a good cuddle. She eats part of her meals from her buster cube and figured it out very quickly! It does tucker her out so breaks are needed, but she has a lot of fun with it. She is VERY interested in whatever is going on in the kitchen and is a great sous chef. Mella gets along with
our dog and enjoys going for walks with him. We walk either once or twice daily, and she enjoys the occasional hike. She loves meeting the neighbors almost as much as they love meeting her! She does not get very restless and is very calm around the house. She does enjoy her toys and small bursts of high energy play, but overall, she is a big napper.








Mella is thriving with our family. We have left her and our dog home alone a handful of times for up to 6 hours, and she doesn’t display any anxiety. We have cameras up (at first to make sure things went smoothly. and now just so we can get our puppy fix when we’re missing them) and they just sleep on the couch together while we are out.







Her resource guarding with our dog has greatly improved, and they can enjoy toys and treats near each other. They have 
even have played tug, and 


it is so fun to watch!


 




We are working on waiting and practicing patience before eating or receiving a treats. As a result, Mella makes more eye contact while we are walking and training. 




 




Things Mella loves:







- food or anything she thinks is food







- laying on the cool concrete in the morning before getting a play session in with our dog







- Lake Poway and duck watching







- her big cozy bed







- car rides!!!







- giving kisses




 






We are so happy and grateful to be sharing our home with this sweet old gal."
