My story

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

Meet Melvin, a young, energetic furball with a heart full of love and a spirit that`s playful as a spring breeze. His infectious energy fills the room, often accompanied by his loud, joyful screeches that echo with the purest form of happiness and occasional nervousness. Living in an apartment is not for this vocal 15-pound youngster. Melvin is a cuddly companion who craves affection, often displaying his neediness by climbing onto your lap for a comforting cozy snuggle if he can stay still long enough to enjoy it. Despite his hyperactivity, Melvin is alert and sensitive, his whines often betraying his insecurities. He`s a loyal friend who just needs a little reassurance. Because he was abandoned at the shelter, we don`t know yet if he is house trained or how he will behave around other dogs or children. Melvin`s playful demeanor promises endless laughter, while his cuddly side ensures countless cozy evenings. Adopt adorable Melvin, and let his joyous spirit fill your life with unending love and happiness. (tw 11/18/2024)
