Melvin's Story

We consider Melvin a perfect dog. Loving, quiet, energetic, and great with other children. Would be best as an only dog. At approximately 70 pounds and 2 and a half years old you couldn’t ask for a better addition to the family.<br/><br/>He is also good with cats. A kitten walked under his belly yesterday. She rolled onto her back to get some belly rubs which he gave her.

San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society's Adoption Policy

The San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society is a nonprofit (501c3) all volunteer organization (only 1 person paid to clean our shelter). Our primary mission is to improve the well being of animals (primarily dogs and cats) in the San Luis Valley (SLV). The San Luis Valley is the largest alpine valley in the world (roughly the size of Connecticut). It is also the poorest region of Colorado (1/3 of the residents in the county our shelter is in live below the poverty level. Our extensive spay/neuter program has reduced the number of homeless animals in this valley. And we have provided many many families with fine companion animals.
