Melon's Story

Melon Age: 10 months Sex: Male Breed: Pointer Mix Weight: 50 pounds Good In Home With: Dogs Melon can’t wait to charm the giggles outta you. Mel is derpy dude with a good attitude. As soon as he decides he likes you it’s over. He will jump in your lap and show you his tattoo. He’s a special soul with a heart of gold who is almost always down to snuggle. Melon would love a room with a view. He is infinitely curious about the world. He is new to the city and loves to map out which way which dog goes (with his nose). He wants to leave his mark on your windows and a divot in your couch cushions. He’s good being left alone. He loves to sleep through the day so he can be extra excited when you come home. Some people have a home bowl advantage. Melon has claimed an entire block. That’s where he goes and he doesn’t care if everyone knows. You can walk for miles, but he will hold it til he’s back. He likes his turf to smell like him. And we gotta admit he’s a pretty good smellin’ Melon.

Mission Compassion Paw Rescue's Adoption Policy

MCP is a Chicago foster based rescue. We focus on dogs who need extra advocacy, including: Pit bull-type dogs, senior animals, animals with medical or behavioral needs, and bonded pairs. We don’t view adoption as placing animals, we view it as welcoming new humans into our Pack. Because of this, our process is intentionally thoughtful and hands-on. Many approved applications ultimately result in us recommending a different dog with stronger match potential. This is part of our responsibility as advocates and something we are known and respected for. Our adoption process typically includes at least three meetings (often more) to ensure a strong, lasting match. These meetings allow time to build a relationship, communicate openly, and support a healthy transition. We are full disclosure, we know our animals well and are honest about their needs. We're hands-on from first meet-and-greet through decompression and beyond, and we are comfortable saying no at any point if the fit isn’t right. We look for organic connections and humans who understand that successful Forever relationships take time, patience, and commitment. Going slow matters to us, for our animals and for our humans. Important Adoption Expectations: All potential adopters are expected to meet their match at least three times with all household members participating in the process. Out-of-state adoptions may be considered for exceptional matches only. Multiple visits to the Chicagoland area are required. We do not ship animals. We do not allow: Gifting animals, surprise adoptions, or any adoptions without full household involvement. Adoption Fees: Dogs: $600 | Bonded pairs: $900 | Cats: $250, $325 for a pair We hold our animals and our humans close. Quality over quantity. Always.
