About Melvin

Melvin is a gentle little guy around 2-3 years old. He can be shy initially, but once he feels safe, he showers you with tiny kisses and tail wags. At his foster home, Melvin enjoys following the pack, and he would thrive with a confident fur friend to guide him in becoming a cherished family member. Playful and full of life, Melvin loves his toys. He takes some privacy when doing his business outside, so a fenced yard would suit him well as he works on his potty training. With a little patience and encouragement, he's making good progress. Note: GA adoptions are limited to within two hours of metro Atlanta only. Your new best friend is just one click away.
