My story

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

Meet Merit, a gentle 2-year-old pup weighing 59 pounds, eagerly awaiting a loving home to call his own. Although initially shy around new people, Merit quickly warms up, revealing a sweet and affectionate nature. He did really well in playgroup with other dogs! He takes treats gently and walks gracefully on a leash, making him the perfect companion for outdoor adventures. Merit thrives on walks, relishing in exploring the world around him, soaking in every sight and scent. With a playful spirit, he`s prepared to brighten your days with joy and laughter. Give Merit the chance he deserves, and he`ll fill your heart with love and unwavering loyalty!
