Meet Melbourne: Heritage Manor's First Pet Companion

Melbourne, a Certified Therapy Dog, lives with a college student/companion, as an Emotional Support Dog providing unconditional love and companionship. Melbourne’s well-mannered nature puts everyone he meets in a relaxing state. He is gentle, caring, obedient, faithful and protective. He has a magnetic effect on those around him, as people just seem to gravitate towards him whenever he enters the room. He is a handsome fellow with a curly apricot fleece coat and white tuxedo markings.

Melbourne was an international traveler as a young puppy until two years of age. While living abroad, he loved daily walks on the beach and watching the fishermen. He understands commands in both English and Spanish.

His most favorite things are long walks and therapy work. When he sees his “Therapy Vest”, he sits at the door, ready to brighten up at least one person’s day.
