MELVIN

Melvin takes his sunny afternoons seriously. This 5-year-old, 47-pound dog likes to head outside to sunbathe, wander around for a good sniff, and come back for scratches. He enjoys car rides and readily approaches new people for pets. At an adoption outing, he spent much of his time lying beside his companion and did a little tap dance when someone restocked the dog treats. Melvin has lived with other dogs in foster care and generally treats them like roommates, sharing space while doing his own thing. His experience with cats and children is unknown. He’s usually content to take things easy, though he has bursts of energy and can plant his feet on walks when he has a different route in mind. His foster reports that he does well in a harness. If your ideal afternoon includes a leisurely stroll and a little time in the sun, Melvin might have the same plans. All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter's care. To view our current available animals, please visit: https://indy.gov/activity/adopt-a-pet.
