Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE NOTE: The first step in the process is to complete an adoption application on our website roversretreat.org

Meet Melvin!

We rescued this sweet senior fella from Animal Friends of The Valley’s shelter a couple months ago. He is 7/8 years old and such a great boy.

Melvin loves his walks, is super velcro and a big cuddler, and enjoys being around low key dogs. He loves going places with his people and is a social butterfly.

If you’re interested in adopting Melvin please complete an adoption application on our website roversretreat.org

PLEASE NOTE: Melvin is being fostered in West Hollywood and his adoption fee is $400

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We rescue dogs and place them in foster homes until they are ready for adoption. We vaccinate, spay/neuter, microchip, and provide any additional care such as surgery or rehabilitation. We help each dog get ready to be placed in a happy forever home.

Potential adopters are asked to complete an online adoption application and may be visited by one of our volunteers to do a home interview. We aim to find the best fit for each dog's needs.

Our adoption fees range between $400-$1,000 for domestic dogs and those from Mexico. Dogs are assigned an adoption fee based on several factors such as age, breed, health and behavior, amongst others.

For our international dogs from overseas, adoption fees range $800-$2,000. International adoption fees are higher due to the travel and boarding costs, as well as the above-mentioned factors for domestic dogs. These dogs stay in their country of origin for weeks, or sometimes months, prior to being able to travel.
