Melvin - Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in West Hollywood, California

MELVIN

Melvin is a goofy, mellow, always happy-go-lucky, low maintenance, low energy (minus when he is excited or you get home). He watches you like a hawk and craves human attention, even just being in the same room with someone. He is a great cuddler and generally a pretty quiet boy.

He was rescued from Skid Row and Hollywood (long, but incredible story!)

He has an old injury to his hip which makes him walk slightly funny on his right hind leg - the vet thinks he was hit by a car and then it healed a little strange. It doesnt seem to bother him although we keep his exercise to a minimum. He is also on daily pain meds because he was in very rough shape when he was found. Plus, just in case he is hiding any leg pain, this is a good system.

Melvin is a VERY SWEET ANGELIC BOY!

He is approx. 6 years old. (He looks older due to neglect)
Fixed.
Vaccinated.
Great with dogs.
Not cat tested.
No medical concerns other than his hip/leg.
Had surgery to fix his ear hematoma & mass removal. These are healed.
