About Melvin

Melvin is the definition of a gentle soul. This mellow, goofy guy is always finding his happy moments, and he’s on the lookout for his human companions. While he prefers to keep things low-key, he lights up with joy when it’s time to cuddle or greet you after a long day. With his watchful eyes, he always ensures those around him feel loved. Rescued from the challenging streets of Skid Row and Hollywood, Melvin has overcome quite a bit. He walks with a slight limp due to an old hip injury, likely from being hit by a car, but this doesn’t seem to affect his zest for life.

This sweetheart is fixed, vaccinated, and house trained. He does well with dogs and is great with children, making him a perfect family addition. While he hasn’t been tested with cats, his affectionate nature shines through. Melvin is ready for a forever home in Los Angeles. Don’t miss out on this sweet angel!
