My story

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

Meet Melvin 🐶💙 — a sweet senior Boston Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a face sprinkled with gray.
Melvin came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, but he’s now thriving in foster care and enjoying the simple things in life: naps 💤, cozy blankets 🛏️, leisurely walks, snuggling with his foster dog siblings, and of course… treats! 🍪
He’s neutered and has had bloodwork and an echocardiogram completed. While Melvin does have a heart murmur, his results showed he’s in good health and does not require medication or exercise restrictions. He’s also on eye medication for cataracts, which has greatly improved his comfort and quality of life.
Melvin is a gentle, loving soul who’s ready to enjoy his golden years in a forever home. 🏡✨
