MELO HAS BEEN WITH OUR FAMILY SINCE HE WAS 2 MONTHS OLD- HE CAME TO US WITH THE USUAL SHOTS OFFERED BY THE SHELTER- HE IS A GOOD DOG A LOVING DOG-I HAVE THREE BOYS AGED 15, 13 AND 8 AND HE LOVES THEM SO MUCH. HE DOES WELL WITH SLEEPING WITH THE, GOING OUT SIDE TO PEE AND POOP, HE KNOWS HOW TO SIT, LAY DOWN, GIVE HIS PAW AND EVEN GIVE HUGS-MELO USED TO BE ABLE TO BE OUTSIDE WITH A SHOCK COLLAR BUT AS HE GOT OLDER HE DID NOT CARE AND STARTED ESCAPING MORE OFTEN- WE KEEP HIM INSIDE MORE OFTEN NOW AND DO TAKE HIM ON LONG WALKS- HE IS A TRUE COUNTRY DOG AND I WOULD LOVE FOR HIM TO BE IN A BIG BACKYARD OR SOMEWHERE HE CAN RUN AROUND- I AM GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE AND WILL HAVE TO MOVE SOON I CANNOT AFFORD TO CARE FOR HIM AND I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE HIM UP BUT UNFORTUNATELY HAVE NO OPTIONS BESIDES THE SHELTER AND I DONT WANTTO
