My story

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

MELO - Just Looking For A Nice Home

Age: 11 Years
Sex: Male
Size: Large
Good With Dogs: Yes
Good With Cats: Unknown
Good With Children: Yes

Melo lived his whole life in a home with a family and friends. Sadly, his owner was unable to provide a home for Melo when they moved. Melo is a friendly dog that still has a lot of life and pep in his step. He is healthy (though has some seasonal allergies) and very active. Melo loves to go on walks and even at his age still pulls a bit on the leash on his walks.

Melo would be comfortable in most home settings. He has been around other dogs and seems like he probably could live with another well mannered dog. For the most part, he’d rather just hang out with people and ignore other dogs.

Originally surrendered to Perth Amboy Animal Shelter, who took good care of this boy, Melo is now with Sedona Shepherd.

Sedona Shepherd Sanctuary's mission is to rescue adult and senior German Shepherd and Shepherd mixes and find them loving homes. All of our dogs are fully vetted and up to date on all their shots

Our adoption area includes New Jersey, Delaware Valley, Manhattan, Southern New York and Eastern Pennsylvania. We may adopt to Connecticut depending on circumstances. Please visit our website at www.sedonashepherd.com.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fee is:

Ages under 3 years old: $450

Ages 3 to 8: $250

Ages 8 and older $150 (or waived)

For dogs older than 10 or with medical issues we will waive the adoption fee. This is done on a case by case situation.

We do not adopt puppies. If you are interested in adopting a dog under 4 years old there are a number of respectable German Shepherd Rescues in the New Jersey metropolitan area that can accommodate you, including Shepherd's Hope Rescue and Garden State German Shepherd Rescue.

More about this rescue

Sedona Shepherd Sanctuary specializes in helping adult and senior German Shepherds and mixes find their forever home. Sadly, many older dogs are dumped in shelters and most often are the first to be euthanized to create room for younger, supposedly more adoptable dogs.

Our mission is to find loving homes who realize the special nature, love and enjoyment these dogs can bring to a household.

We work with owners who because of circumstances beyond their control need to find a home for their dog. We also work with many shelters and rescue organizations in the Northeast.
