Merle

Merle is a 4-year-old Shepherd mix who is the definition of a devoted companion. He bonds deeply with his person and will love you with his whole heart — the kind of dog who doesn't just follow you, he belongs with you. He is fantastic with people, affectionate, obedient, and eager to connect. He walks well on leash, enjoys being active, and is settling into home life beautifully. He's also been a gentleman with both cats and babies — respectful of space, gentle, and full of sweet kisses. Merle adores his foster mom's 6-month-old grandchild. He likes other dogs but prefers some time to settle in before playing with them. Merle doesn't need a dog companion — his person or family is his world. Merle has a fun, goofy side and loves playing with toys, especially a ball.
