Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Mello a cute, shy boy with a chill, laid back personality. He has a low activity level and truly enjoys a calm, peaceful environment where he can feel safe and comfortable. Loud or sudden noises can be scary for him, so he would thrive in a home that offers patience, understanding, and a softer, quieter routine.
Mello is incredibly gentle by nature. He approaches people calmly, is soft in his movements, and handles interactions with care. He has done well around kids and shows a patient, tolerant demeanor, making him a wonderful companion for a family that values kindness and respect. He enjoys peaceful play sessions and gentle engagement, often preferring simple, relaxed moments over anything overwhelming.
Mello does best when he’s allowed to warm up at his own pace and build trust gradually. With consistency, reassurance, and a calm home, he has the potential to become a sweet, affectionate companion who brings a quiet sense of comfort to those around him.
If your interested in adopting Mello, please visit the shelter during adoption hours,
