Melvin (b. 3/2019) is a young, friendly, Pit Bull Terrier who was scheduled for euthanasia in a Missouri shelter. Thankfully this sweet, goofy boy found his way to rescue and is learning all about the good life! Melvin loves the company of people, including children, and looks forward to visits from the grandchildren in his foster home! Melvin enjoys the safety of family life and likes to be close to his humans. He's an active boy who likes playing fetch, tug, and taking brisk walks in nature or, hey, around the neighborhood works too! While Melvin is a young guy with energy to match, he also appreciates a lazy evening of couch snuggles after a busy day of play. Melvin is a quick learner and knows several commands; he also knows appropriate bathroom behavior (take it outside!) and he's comfortable using a kennel. Melvin doesn't always appreciate the company of other dogs (or cats) and will need to be the only animal in the home. As an active, smart boy, Melvin will need a 6' fenced yard to keep him safe and close to home. We think Melvin's furever future includes an active family with children over the age of 8, who are curious about the world and want to offer this handsome boy the best life has to offer!
Before applying to adopt Melvin, you need to be familiar with your local breed-specific legislation regarding Pit Bulls. Applicants must live within 50 miles of the Omaha/Council Bluffs area.
The suggested adoption donation for Melvin is $265. We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes.
Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver.
Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs. If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.
