Merle
Meet Merle, a sweet boy who's ready to find a family to call his own! Estimated to be 6–7 years old and approximately 55 pounds, he enjoys showing off his playful side with a round of happy zoomies once or twice a day. You can see how handsome Merle is in his video.
Merle was picked up as a stray in the South, and since joining his foster family, he's been a wonderful houseguest. Merle is housebroken, sleeps through the night, knows how to sit, and is learning more basic commands every day. When he's tired, he'll quietly settle on a bed or a sofa, ready to enjoy some nap time.
Merle is a fun-loving, energetic companion who would thrive with an active family that can take him on long walks and play fetch in the yard. Given the opportunity, he would probably enjoy hikes as well. He's good with other dogs, takes treats gently, and is continuing to improve his leash skills. Merle is also learning that car rides can be fun, as long as he is secured safely in a crate.
Currently, Merle is living in an apartment. He likes to play, so a fenced yard is high on his wish list since he may chase squirrels and other small animals outdoors. He's especially interested in cats and bunnies, so he'd do best in a dog-only home. We haven't had the opportunity yet, to see how Merle does with young children, so that is currently unknown.
Merle has been neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, and micro-chipped. He has been treated for heartworm and has been given a Proheart injection for 12 months of heartworm prevention.
Merle is being fostered in the Northeast. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's super-sweet, loves to play and cuddle, and will make you laugh with his joyful zoomies, this wonderful boy may be the perfect addition to your family! If you would like to be part of Merle's rescue story, and you have already been approved for adoption through SGRR, please contact Mary to be considered. If you are not yet approved, visit our website to fill out an application!
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to continue the rehabilitation we have begun. This is what it means to rescue.
