Welcome to Rescues That Rock! In partnership with CARE Animal Rescue and Springfield’s rock station, Q102, we’re on a mission to help find forever homes for some amazing dogs who truly “rock!” Each week, we’ll feature a special dog available for adoption right here on our website and across our social media channels.
Even if adoption isn’t an option right now, you can still help us make a difference. By sharing these profiles on your social media pages, you’re spreading the word and helping these wonderful dogs get noticed—and closer to finding their perfect family. Together, let’s help these dogs find the loving homes they deserve!

This sweet girl is Melanie, a beautiful tan hound with soulful eyes, floppy ears, and a heart as big as her love for sniffing out adventure. At 2 years old, Melanie is still full of youthful energy but already has the gentle temperament that makes her a joy to be around.
Melanie is everything you’d hope for in a hound: curious, affectionate, and always ready to explore the world nose-first. She loves going for walks, following scents, and being part of whatever you’re doing. She’s also got a soft, sweet side-after a good walk or playtime, she’s more than happy to curl up by your side for a nap or some quiet snuggles.
Melanie would do great in a home that can give her a mix of outdoor fun and indoor relaxation. She gets along well with people and could be a good match for families, couples, or individuals looking for a loyal companion with a gentle, loving soul.
She’s ready to trade in her kennel for a cozy bed, a loving family, and a lifetime of tail wags. Come meet Melanie and see if she’s the missing piece to your heart and home!
