Find Your New Best Friend

Find Your Furry Companion at Melita's Dream Animal Rescue Animal Shelter

Meet Adam Lambert 

He is a sweet, gentle soul who only wanted one thing—to live. He didn’t want to die alone in a shelter kennel at Contra Costa Animal Services. He just wanted a chance. We were able to pull this handsome boy at the very last minute. It was stressful, heartbreaking, and emotional—but Adam held on, and now he’s safe. Adam is about 2–2.5 years old, weighs around 60 lbs, and is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He is a loving, affectionate boy who truly shines when he’s with his people. He enjoys the company of other dogs and would make a wonderful family dog. Adam is smart and eager to please. He just needs a little leash training, and with patience and love, he will learn quickly. What Adam needs most is a family—someone to show him that he is safe, wanted, and loved. This boy has been through so much, yet his heart is still pure and kind. He deserves a home where he will never again have to wonder if tomorrow will come. If you are interested in adopting, foster-to-adopt, or even fostering Adam, please contact the rescue. Saving Adam’s life was only the first step—now we need to help him find his forever home. 

Allen J

Meet Allen J – 

Meet Allen J – Your New Best Friend! A Contra Costa Animal Services survivor. I’m a petite, handsome Pittie mix with a big heart and lots of love to give. I am vaccinated neutered, microchipped . I am about 2 yrs old and weigh about 47 lbs. I’m a very happy, healthy boy who truly enjoys life and the people (and pups!) around me. I play wonderfully with the other puppies in my playgroup and absolutely love my toys—I tend to put everything in my mouth, which makes my foster mom think I’m still a puppy at heart. I’m also very intelligent, listen well, and I’m highly trainable. I would thrive with professional training because I’m eager to learn and extremely motivated to please my humans. I can be a little shy at first, so I’m looking for a patient and loving forever human who can give me a safe space to build trust. Once I feel comfortable, I warm up quickly and become a loyal, affectionate companion. I’m respectful with other dogs. I’m also very curious about kitties! I have a medium energy level—I enjoy long walks, car rides, and playful activities, but I’m just as happy relaxing at home with my people. I’m not much of a barker unless I sense something unusual, which makes me a great little watchdog. I sleep soundly through the night and always wake up excited to see you and start the day together. You won’t regret adopting me—I’m ready to give unconditional love, loyalty, and lots of happy tail wags to my forever family. I can’t wait to meet you! Hugs & kisses, Allen J
