Melvin's Story

Melvin is the kind of dog who makes you feel like you've been best friends forever the moment you meet him. At 3 years old, this affectionate, people loving boy is overflowing with love and just waiting for someone to give it to. Found as a stray in Moss Point and never claimed, Melvin doesn't understand why he's been left behind--but he hasn't let that dim his spirit. He leans in for kisses, stays close to your side, and looks at you like you are his whole world. He already knows how to sit for treats and is eager to learn more, especially if it means making you proud. Yes, he might get a little excited and jump up for affection--but that's just his big heart trying to get closer to yours. Shelter life is weighing heavily on him, and he's longing for a home where he's truly wanted. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will adore you endlessly, Melvin is your guy. He seems interested in other dogs so bring your pup in for a meet and greet to see how they get along.<br/> <br/>By adopting me today you will save the life of two pets -- you'll save me and that will make room for the Shelter to rescue and save another pet.
