Mervin is a gentle soul who is just starting to realize that the world isn’t as scary as he once thought. Every day he gets a little braver and that much happier, especially when he has a confident dog friend by his side—having another dog in the home isn’t just a bonus for Mervin, it’s a must. He learns best by watching and following a furry role model. His dog siblings have been the best thing in ever. Mervin is a big fan of older kids, especially the kind who don’t mind sharing their bed. Speaking of beds… the more, the better. Dog beds in every room are strongly preferred, and blankets are essential for maximum cuddling. Fair warning: if a dog sibling beats Mervin to his favorite bed, he may try to reclaim it by sitting on them. Mervin may have short fur, but he’s discovered that snow days can actually be pretty fun, and he’s always up for a pup cup (non-negotiable). He is totally unbothered by cats; they do their thing, he does his. Mervin is still learning, still growing, and still figuring out that good things—like soft blankets, kind humans, and loyal dog friends—are what life is really about. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who just needs a little reassurance and a lot of cozy spots, Mervin might be your guy.
