More about Merbee:

Merbee was 4 months old when he was rescued by Dr. Lin near a tourist area in the mountains. Merbee was very tiny, weak and had no hair at all because he had severe skin disease. He was straying along the mountain area by himself and there were lots of tourist buses passing by. It was full of danger in that environment for such a young puppy to be on his own. The Dr. Lin’s animal hospital was very crowded with lots of stray dogs back then but Merbee’s condition indeed needed medical attention straight away, so Merbee went home with Dr. Lin.

After a series of health check, Merbee had suffered from a skin disease called Demodicosis (Red Mange). (Please see the fact sheet of Demodicosis down the bottom) It took 4 months giving constant medicated shampoo bath twice a week and Amitraz spray, Merbee’s hair finally grow back healthily.

Merbee has lovely personality. He loves to play with all dogs no matter how big or small, how old or how young the dog is. He also gets along with cats very well. I would say he is a very calm, stable, affectionate, happy and gentle dog. We hardly hear Merbee barks.

Merbee behaves so well so we let him walk around in the front of the clinic sometimes. He would go up greets customers with his big smile and we all think he does public relation job real well. We also notice that Merbee loves children and he tries to protect them and he plays with kids so gently.

We truly think Merbee will be a fantastic family dog. He had such a misfortunate past and we hope that someone would be willing to make it up for him and love and pamper him to let Merbee know that he is such a good boy and worth been loved.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or concerns regarding Merbee’s adoption. Thank you so much for willing to give Merbee a forever loving home.

I am looking for a forever HOME....
