BIO:
Handsome doggo alert! My name is Mel, and I am eager to be your affectionate, fun-loving best furry friend for life. I am an outgoing dude who enjoys walkies, car rides, and soaking up all the attention I can from my humans. We will be BFFs in no time if you give me a good scratchy on my butt - I loooove that! I get along with other dogs, and enjoy playtime with my furry pals. I would be perfectly content as your only doggie, too, because I entertain myself by exploring the yard and I am all about that human/canine attention! I have done well when meeting kids. I am potty and crate trained, and look forward to seeing how much more I can learn so my adopters will need to sign me up for training classes; I am a smart boy and already really good at my recall command (is it really all that surprising that I happily run back to my people for more cuddles and praise?) I am recovering from heartworm treatment and will need a little extra TLC while I heal; staying calm is an important part of recovery so I see a lot of cuddle sessions and movie marathons in our near future! Look at my sweet pout and soulful eyes - I bet you are already in love with me, so go ahead and fill out that adoption application today because we have a whole life of love and fun to experience together!

If you'd like to adopt this dog, please get started by filling out a complete application (incomplete submissions cannot be sent.) Please note that while we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care as possible, our bios are written from current observations. Though we do our best to share as much information as possible about each dog we care for, we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history, and information pertaining to breed and age are often educated guesses.

  • Adult or Young Dog. 6 months to 7 years / $375

  • Puppies. Under 6 months / $450
