History: Melville is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Melville is settling in nicely and is ready for his forever home! He is neutered and up to date on his medical appointments.
He has shown a lot of improvement the past month! He’s getting really good about going to the bathroom outside now and is a great eater - loves treats and cheese! He sleeps in his kennel at night or in the dog bed nearby just fine and naps in and out of the kennel during the day. He even knows a few commands which makes it easy to get him on a leash to walk outside!
He likes to be close by but on his own terms! He enjoys following my resident dogs around outside; he likes to sleep near me when I work from home. He gets the zoomies and loves playing with a tennis ball at times.
He has not had any issues with my two bigger resident dogs.
Adoption Fee: $510 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
