Meet Mellow

Mellow is a 2 years, 11 months old male Large Mixed Breed who weighs 49 pounds.

He is currently in a foster home.

Mellow recently went into a short-term foster home. This enables us to get some critical in-home information on our dogs which we can pass along to you!

Here's some great tidbits from his foster mom:

- Mellow is pretty easy going! He wakes up and patiently waits for me to get up! He then does a lot of stretching and waits for a rub down....super sweet calm demeanor!

- We are discovering what Mellow likes...he likes toys and finding treats 😉 he is gentle and sweet with toys

- So Mellow did well in the crate this morning: he went in and stayed 4 1/2 hours with no issues. A little barking and whining but he settled down and relaxed. I came and took him out to go to the restroom and he was very chill and relaxed when he was let out. He likes to walk and will tell you when he is done walking and doing his business. He is a good communicator if you listen!!

I brought him back to work with me and he did very well in my office greeted people politely although he still is getting used to people.

- He is a great sleeper. He sleeps through the night and is patient while waiting to go out in the morning

- Loves toys, playing with them, will allow you to take them and throw them for him

- Loves napping, especially on the couch

So, as you can see, Mellow is an all-around amazing dog! Come meet him

If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 11-5pm.

Photography tips

Having photos for each of our animals is a priority! It is difficult to get a prospective adopter who is sitting at home surfing the web to get enthusiastic about a new pet that they can’t even see, so we want to get photos on the website as early as possible. Sometimes, though, the photos available are photos of the animals in their prior shelter homes (lots of chain link and concrete) or from a clinic setting (lots of hands wearing blue gloves). We want to replace these with happy photos of the animals as quickly as we can!

The following is some guidance about how to create the best photos

  • No photos of dogs in their runs. Preferably, no photos of dogs indoors at all. We want green grass and blue skies! When outside, think about background objects (trash cans, etc) and frame your photo to keep the distractions to a minimum.
  • Photos you submit do not have to be square, however the photo will appear square (cropped, not stretched) in many places on the website(s). Therefore, make sure that if your photo isn’t square that the animal is centered in the photo so that important details aren’t lost if the photo is shown cropped.
  • We can put three photos on the website for each animal*. At least one of those photos should be a “full-body” photo so that prospective adopters can get an idea of the size and shape of the animal.
  • Preferably, the animal is off-leash for the photo, but if that’s not possible, at least ensure that the leash is slack. Think about the prospective adopter, who has no idea how the animal is being treated, and make sure that the photos do not give them the wrong impression that a particular animal is difficult to control or that they are not being treated gently.
  • Get low! You’ll get a better photo if you’re down at the animal’s level than if you’re shooting down on them from five feet above.
  • It is better to have the sun behind you than behind the animal. Your color fidelity will be better if you can avoid shadows or shaded areas.

* PetFinder supports six photos (or five photos and a video), so we can post additional photos there.
