Hello, my name is Merlin and I’m here to sweep you off your feet. I’m a dashing Border Collie mix with a striking white and black coat. At 2-3 years old and around 40 pounds, I’m the perfect blend of brains and brawn. My captivating blue eyes will have you falling head over paws!
I’m a high-energy guy, always ready for an adventure. Whether it’s chasing a ball, exploring the great outdoors, or learning new tricks, count me in! I’m super smart and a quick learner – especially if treats are involved. I’m not just about playtime; I’m a cuddler too! Belly rubs? Yes, please! I thrive on human attention and will happily sit in your lap – even if I’m a bit bigger than your average lap dog.
Now, let’s talk about my quirks. I’m not a fan of crates – they cramp my style. And watch out for your ankles – my herding instincts kick in, and I might try a playful nip. But fear not! With some guidance, I’ll learn what’s appropriate. I’ve been in boarding because of my escape artist skills (I’m like Houdini with fences!). But what I really want is a family to call my own. Maybe you’re the one? Let’s embark on this beautiful journey together!
I am selective with other dogs. I have not been cat-tested but I can be if you’d like. I am vaccinated and neutered. I am also heartworm positive and receiving treatment.
Currently hanging out in Lewisville, NC, but I can be transported for the right match. Are you up for Merlin’s adventure? Let’s find out. Fill out an application today! *Must be 21 or older to apply.

Our Mission
Operation Save A Shelter Dog is a foster based, IRS-recognized 501c(3) rescue whose mission is to work with shelters on the East Coast by saving dogs at high risk of euthanasia or that have little hope of adoption in their current condition. Not only is it our goal to find furever homes for our dogs, but also to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, vaccinating and providing preventative care for their pets.
