My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We pulled Merlin after being contacted by FCDS he was urgent for fear/bite issues. Merlin was an owner betrayal and as you can imagine, terrified after going from a home to the chaos of a shelter.
Although the shelter had him listed at 11-12 years old, he is estimated to be between 5-7...probably closer to 7.
Merlin needs to be handled carefully only when he's getting his teeth looked at. It's the only time he gets nervous. He does have some age appropriate tartar and a couple teeth that possibly may need extracted on down the road. They are not loose or infected and do not affect his eating habits-and this guy is very food and treat motivated. He has two small lipomas on each side of his chest. They were aspirated and are not abnormal and merely fatty tumors.
He is fully vaccinated, HW negative and neutered. He is cute as the devil, behaves like a perfect gentleman, does well with small to large dogs, listens well, house broken, obedience trained and loves car rides.
