My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Melvin is a little over 3 years old, and a 60 pound beautiful tan terrier mix. Melvin was surrendered to us by his owner, and is currently up for adoption! This handsome boy tested well with other pups, and is slowly learning how to enjoy toys! Melvin walks well on leash, but may get over-aroused going back into his kennel, so at this time he can be placed in a home with teens, ages 16 and up.
