When I first met Merri she had just arrived at the shelter, and yet she reached through the bars to get my attention. She is a 1 to 2 year old 53 pound Catahoula Leopard dog that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/26. She was brought in by one of our concerned citizens. The bonus is that she’s already spayed! And besides she’s very attractive. When she first got into the yard she was so happy she was almost uncontrollable.…hence the name Merri (merry?). However, after just a few minutes she settled down. She looked like she wanted to jump on me, but all I needed to say was a stern no and she didn’t. She obviously wants to please. I also noticed that she was somewhat shy at times. She found a squeaky toy in my pocket and got it out to play with. She likes to play fetch. However, when I squeaked it she was unsure of what to make of it and me. She shied away. She did wag her tail constantly. She sits for treats without even being asked and takes treats gently. She stayed close. She walked okay on a leash. She has a lot of love to give. She would like to be considered a member of your family, and therefore cuddle up with you and share family time.
