My story

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

Melo’s a 5yo 15lb Bichon mix. He’s house and crate trained. He’d be good in a secure fenced yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. He likes being with his person and can guard his person from others so will need a strong leader who can correct him which he does follow when given. He shows signs when bothered so people need to be observant.

Melo MUST have a calm adult only home with no dogs or kids in the home or who visit often (he’ll need to be put in another room when they do) along with people who are on board to show leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT fit this please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone not a fit. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far.

Melo’s neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Currently fostered in Hatboro, PA. If your home fits the bio and MUST haves and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at

Additional adoption info

How can I Adopt a Tiny Dog?
When you are ready to adopt a new friend, we will ask you to complete our friendly screening process, which ensures a successful and safe adoption.

Complete an Adoption Application
We will have a brief conversation with you to find out about your daily schedule, determine your preferences and needs, and talk about your previous experience with pets.
We will check two personal references who know how you are with animals.
If applicable, we will call your veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well cared for.
For renters, we will check with your landlord to ensure that dogs are permitted.
Lastly, we will do a home check. We will arrange a visit with the dog and your family including all animals in your home, typically at your home. This is a great opportunity for you to get valuable input on how to integrate your new pet into your home. If we agree it is a mutually good fit, you will sign an adoption contract, pay the adoption fee and take the new dog into your home.

This process typically takes a few days and then you are ready to take your new friend home.
