My story

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

Merlin is a sweet little Terrier mix. He is around 4-6 years old and currently 7.5 lbs.
Merlin is affectionate, smart, spunky, loyal and medium energy. He becomes quite attached to his people and will happily follow his favorite person around the house and yard most of the day. He truly desires to be a large part of his family’s life and wants to be included in their daily activities. He will occasionally play with other dogs but his favorite thing to do is hang out with his person. He is the ultimate lap dog and enjoys couch time in the evenings.
Merlin is a quick learner and responds well to positive training. He does best with gentle, firm corrections and does not do well with harsh corrections.
Merlin is crate trained but does not enjoy his crate and prefers being with his family. He is housebroken in his foster home and learning to walk politely on a leash.
He currently lives with dogs of various sizes and gets along with them but he seems to prefer the smaller dogs. He also lives with dog savvy cats and is respectful with them but he will challenge shy kitties and chase if they run. He is an alert barker and enjoys a yard so no apartments for him. Due to his small size and sensitive nature he will need an adult only home. He likely would not do well being left home alone daily for long hours and prefers stay at home people. He would do well with a small, friendly companion dog or as an only dog provided his people are home the majority of the time. Someone who has terrier experience and understands the sensitive, spunky nature of terriers would be ideal.
Merlin is a little sweetheart who is a joy to foster. He is patiently waiting for his forever home.

Our Mission Statement...
Sacramento Independent Animal Rescuers is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Our purpose is to aid stray, abandoned, and neglected animals. In addition to animals rescued and adopted by our organization, SIAR is also dedicated to help other independent animal rescuers find their foster animals the loving homes they deserve. To date, thousands of dogs and cats have been rescued and placed into wonderful homes in the past few years. In order to provide these services, we work with the community shelters, rescue organizations, and individuals who have animals with special needs and place these animals in permanent homes after they reach a stage of wellness.

Our mission is to provide loving, permanent homes for animals that have been abused, abandoned, or lost, which otherwise would not be with us today. Many of our rescued animals, especially those that were rescued from the shelters initially had kennel cough, pneumonia, or giardia with the extreme cases having the parvo or distemper viruses. In addition, a high percentage of animals are malnourished and require special dietary demands. We rely on tax deductible cash donations as well as food and other pet supplies that will allow us to continue to save lives!

**** WE ARE IN GREAT NEED OF DONATIONS AS MANY OF THE ANIMALS WE RESCUE HAVE COSTLY MEDICAL PROBLEMS AND ARE CONSIDERED NON ADOPTABLE AT THE SHELTERS - WE HOPE TO GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE AT A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE****

All of our companion pets, have been neutered or spayed, given all current vaccinations, heartworm tested and microchipped. This also provides the community with healthier animals and aids in the reduction of the outspread of illness and future homeless offspring.

The adoption fee for animals being adopted by SIAR can range from $75-$100 (for kitties) and $150-$350 (for dogs) depending on the animal and associated costs. The adoption fee helps up recooperate the thousands of dollars spent yearly on rehabilitation and allows us to continue to rescue animals in need.
