Rewinding to about a year ago in February, Merle had made an appearance with his brother, Melvin. When we were introduced to the two brothers, they both were very reserved and unsure about what was going on in the world around them. Because of this we thought it’d be best to keep them together as their anxieties seemed to disappear when the other was near. Since then we have found they both are actually perfect on their own and have flourished into better versions of themselves, especially from how they were when they arrived. Now Merle still has his reserves about things. He is not as outgoing as his brother, but likes to try and seem bigger and more dominant. He is honestly a big baby, but because of this it does take time to earn his trust. We do require multiple meet and greets in order to help his anxieties and bond with whomever he will be spending the rest of his days with. The only other thing about this guy is he is still learning how to be a dog. We have been actively training with the leash and have made significant improvements but will still need help navigating his way through a household. This guy just needs a loving and patient owner. Someone willing enough to put in the time and effort it will take to show all that this guy deserves. So if you got some extra time, and are looking for a dog to grow with, come meet Merle today!

Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our animals. We are grateful for the opportunity to be able to work with you in choosing a new pet.

• Dog adopters: If you own another dog you may be required to do a ‘meet and greet’ between your dog and the dog you are interested in adopting. You must provide proof of vaccines. Meet and Greets can be scheduled at any time and take place here at the shelter. Ask the staff member assisting you with your adoption for more information on the ‘meet and greet’ process.
• In the unfortunate event that your chosen animal does not work for your family, we encourage you to return the animal. We DO NOT issue refunds, however we will work with you to find an animal that is more suitable for your family or situation.
