My story

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

Hi there, I'm Mel. I am a big beautiful 58lb terrier mix breed needing a forever home. I have lived in the shelter system for a while, since January of 2024, very patiently waiting for someone to finally pick me. Everyone knows the stereotypes of bully breeds being wiggle butts, but everyone here says I win the title of the wiggliest boy. I get SO excited to see people, I just can not contain myself. I am a goober, as everyone describes me, wanting to play play play all day! If you have dogs at home, bring them in, I would love to meet them! I am Heartworm Positive, but please ask staff about all of that. Come see me at GCHS!
