About Melo

Melo is a charming 80-pound Goldendoodle searching for a loving family who can provide him with the attention he craves. At just two years old, this big teddy bear has a heart full of affection and thrives on companionship. He came to the rescue after his family sadly realized they could not dedicate the time he needs. Known for being wonderful with children, Melo will make a fantastic addition to any home looking for a cuddly, playful dog. His previous owners describe him as high energy, always ready for play, yet he enjoys relaxing and napping when home alone. Ideal for a family that loves outdoor adventures, he will also cherish moments spent lounging with his favorite humans. Melo is already potty-trained and was crate-trained, although he’s gotten used to free-roaming in his prior home. While he is adaptable to apartment living, his ideal setting would include ample space for him to stretch out. He'll benefit from continued leash training, as he tends to pull on walks, but he enjoys staying close to his person. With a few quirky interests, like socks and tissue paper, his future family should be prepared to keep these items out of reach. Regular grooming will help keep his curly coat looking its best. Melo is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His commitment to a loving family will require serious dedication, but the love he brings will be immeasurable. He thrives on play, adventure, and being part of family life. If you're ready to welcome a big-hearted companion into your life, Melo may be the one for you!
