The Furever Project

Melo has never had a home of his own. The Furever Project basically saved Melo from the jaws of death as he was getting ready to be euthanized.

Melo gets along with other dogs of various sizes. He lives with several dogs in his foster home. He has been introduced to cats and seemed to do well with them. If an applicant has cats, Melo will need to meet them to see if everyone gets along. Melo also does well with children. He lives with a little human who is under 2-years old.

Melo is very smart and learns quickly. His foster mom is a trainer and Melo has perfected all the basic commands (sit, down, watch me, leave it, stay, a release command, wait and come). Also, in April 2023, Melo successfully completed a positive reinforcement board and train.

At almost 3-years old, Melo is an energetic dog and needs an active vs. a sedentary lifestyle. He would enjoy, and be most successful living with, an active individual or family. He loves being outdoors and would be a great hiking partner, running partner, or a dedicated long distance walking partner. If you’re not a hiker, runner, or long-distance walker……. regular daily walks, playing fetch, chasing a frisbee, or other outdoor activities would also do the trick to successfully lower Melo’s energy.

Melo does need a home where he will get strong, consistent direction and follow through. Melo is comfortable and quiet being in a crate and with a simple command “crate” goes in and out with ease and he is completely housebroken.

If Melo sounds like he'd be a good fit for your home, please apply to adopt him today!
