Melvin's Story

(The fine print): If after reading Melvin's adoption listing in full, you’d like to make this wonderful pup a part of your family, please visit www.sanctuaryrescue.com and fill out an adoption questionnaire under the “forms” tab. Unfortunately, we don't receive any inquiries sent through the Petfinder system, so the only way to be considered for adoption is to fill out the adoption questionnaire on our website. If a dog’s listing is still up on Petfinder, then we’re still accepting adoption questionnaires/applications for them. Once a dog has been adopted, we will immediately remove their adoption listing. Keep reading to learn more about Melvin…<br/><br/>(The good part): Melvin is the trifecta of pups that you've been searching for.. He's potty trained, crate trained and lives peacefully with two cats (they mostly hide and he's been curious/neutral). He's about three years old and 15lbs. In addition to the two cats, Melvin also resides with an 80lbs Pyrenees friend and 2 teenagers. He is very food motivated and is learning all about pup manners and how to be a good housemate. <br/><br/>Foster mom says, "Melvin is such a sweet guy and is still settling into foster life, so we expect him to keep blossoming with time. He has lots of energy, is very people-focused, and loves, loves, loves playing with toys. While he isn’t especially cuddly, he is highly treat-motivated and absolutely adores belly rubs."<br/><br/>Melvin's adoption fee is $350, which includes up to date vaccinations, neuter, and microchip.
