Meet Melvin

Add to favourites

Meet Melvin!

This precious pup is eagerly awaiting for his forever home. Melvin is a sweet affectionate boy who loves people and dogs! He is house trained and great on leash but looking for a guardian who can continue his training and offer him structure and routine. Melvin is very energetic, playful and active but not at all destructive in the home.

Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. You can also submit an application online if I am in foster or you would like to save some time when you come visit. While we do welcome online applications, in person meets have top priority.
