Melo is a 2 year old 6lb chi boy who was swooped up to safety out of one of San Francisco’s projects by someone who heard kids talking about using him as a “bait ” dog. He had been running around with an injured leg and living outside on his own for over a month. Melo’s is injury not fresh and we are still exploring treatment options for him yet this does not slow him down one bit and the Vet said that he is not in pain.
Melo is a very affectionate (likes to sleep cuddled in the crook of your neck and shoulder), spunky and a very playful character. He is not like some chihuahas who bark incessantly for any reason. He generally is quiet but when new people come through door, he will bark until introduced.
Melo is the kind of dog who will be the love of someone’s life and deserves a loving home full of cuddles and snuggles.
Due to his small size, a home with small children is not recommended.
