Meet Mello
Age: 5 years
Sex: Neutered Male
Breed: Spaniel–Jindo Mix
Color: Brown / Ivory
Weight: 15 kg
Height: 57 cm (shoulder height)
Rescue Story
Mello entered a municipal shelter in February 2025 and spent 10 long months waiting for a chance. In December, just days before euthanasia, he was rescued and transferred to the AKR Center—where he’s finally been able to show his gentle, affectionate personality.
With People
Mello is a very affectionate boy who loves human attention. He happily approaches both familiar people and strangers, leans in for pets, and enjoys being cuddled and held.
He does not show fear toward men, though he clearly prefers women. He has not had experience with children under 13. Once he bonds with you, he’ll comfortably roll over to show his belly and soak up the love.
With Other Dogs
Mello will greet unfamiliar dogs politely but isn’t interested in playing. He prefers doing his own thing—sniffing, marking, and spending time with people.
Since being neutered after rescue, he has shown discomfort around larger male dogs. While he does not initiate fights, he may follow and warn similarly sized male dogs, so a home without male dogs is recommended.
He does very well with female dogs and small dogs, regardless of energy level. Because he is people-oriented and not interested in canine friendships, Mello would truly thrive as the only dog in the home.
Cats & Small Animals
On walks, Mello shows little interest in moving objects and stays focused on his walk. A home cat test is available.
Energy Level
Low. Mello is calm, relaxed, and enjoys resting quietly.
Walks
He has excellent leash manners and does not pull. Mello prefers sniffing over fast walking and enjoys frequent stops for scent exploration, marking, and his signature back-leg kicks.
Other Notes
• Does not guard food with people or dogs
• May guard toys slightly (as shownin the video); may bark briefly to protect his own toy but does not escalate or fight
• No separation anxiety
• Quiet and calm in a kennel or enclosure
• Very happy and bouncy when people return
• Rarely barks
• 100% outdoor potty trained
• May mark in new environments
Medical Note:
Mello is missing his front teeth, and his lower right canine has been removed.
Mello is a gentle, people-loving boy who would do best in a calm home where he can be someone’s whole world.
If you’re looking for a quiet companion who prefers humans over dog parks, Mello may be your perfect match.
