MELLO
I'm Mello - your laid-back best friend.
Pitbull mix | 9 years old | Medium (50 pounds)
Male | Los Angeles
ABOUT MELLO
Personality: friendly, accommodating, affectionate, chill
Favorite things: leading packwalks, taking sniff walks around the neighborhood, being out of the shelter
Training: does well on leash and knows basic commands
Exercise needs: has low exercise needs and would do fine with a neighborhood walk every day
Care status: neutered, vaccinated, microchipped
Special notes: Mello is currently housed at South L.A. (aka: Chesterfield Square) shelter, the most overcrowded and least-visited shelter in Los Angeles. Can you come adopt Mello and make him the exception?
THE IDEAL HOME
Best match: would do fine with an older couple or single person who just wants an undemanding companion
Other dogs? Mello has shown both friendliness and selectivity with other dogs. Careful intros are always recommended.
Cats? unknown
Kids? Mello would do best with older kids who won't over-play or jump on him. He's not the rowdy type.
Additional info: Mello is a volunteer favorite and did SO WELL at Pitbull Appreciation Day!
