My story

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

Spectacular Melvin is a very sweet pup who has been described by his volunteer friends as “an angel,” and a “handsome sweetheart”! PACC volunteers LOVE to walk this very good boy; he is calm, patient and so lovey! Here’s what a few volunteer friends have said about him:

“Melvin is a good boy who knows “sit,” and he’ll calmly pause for treats on our walk.”

“Melvin is an angel! His surgery cone was wonky and I was fumbling with it in his kennel for a good five minutes and he just sat there as sweet as could be. He just looked at me and was so patient and calm.”

“This handsome sweetheart already knows “sit” and how to look adorable. He’s the best walking partner.”

Melvin is an easygoing guy with one staff member sharing “I took Melvin out today and he was very calm in the kennel and walked nicely out to the park. He didn`t react to any of the dogs and went back easily into his kennel. He sat for a treat before I could ask him to.”

Melvin would like to meet any potential furry roommates before heading home. If you’re looking for an angelic pup to help you get your daily steps and snuggles, Melvin is the guy for you!
