Melvin

Meet Melvin – Your Little Shadow with Big Personality 🖤<br/><br/>Melvin is a 3.5 year old, 16 lb Xoloitzcuintli mix with the cutest curious streak and a heart full of love. This charming little guy is equal parts playful, snuggly, and delightfully quirky.<br/><br/>Melvin is crate-trained and has been doing great with house-training in his foster home. He’s a smart boy who thrives with routine and guidance -- especially from another confident dog. In fact, Melvin REQUIRES a home with another dog to help show him the ropes and build his confidence. He takes comfort in having a canine buddy and follows their lead beautifully, especially on leash.<br/><br/>One of Melvin’s most adorable habits? He pops up onto his back legs to get a better view of what’s going on around him: it’s like having your own tiny meerkat keeping watch.<br/><br/>He:<br/><br/>- Does well with cats<br/><br/>- Loves playing with other dogs<br/><br/>- Enjoys toys (though he can be a little possessive with other dogs, so supervision and guidance are helpful)<br/><br/>- Walks nicely on leash when paired with a dog friend<br/><br/>- Adores heated blankets (warmth is life!)<br/><br/>- Happily wears clothes — sweaters, PJs, you name it<br/><br/>Melvin would do best in a patient, loving home that understands he’ll continue to blossom with the support of another pup. He’s looking for a family who will embrace his sweet nature, playful spirit, and love of cozy comforts.<br/><br/>If you’re ready to add a loyal little companion, and you already have a friendly dog waiting for a buddy, Melvin might just be your perfect match.<br/><br/>To adopt him, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org<br/>His adoption fee is $400, which includes his shots up-to-date, microchipping, neuter, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.
