Meril

Meet Meril<br/>Meril is a big guy with big opinions, strong feelings about snacks, and a surprisingly soft side for the people he knows and trusts.

Give him time to get comfortable, and he'll show you the sweet, goofy companion hiding behind that serious face.<br/>Meril is also on a personal weightloss journey. While he is deeply offended by snack limitations, he's committed to feeling better, moving easier, and living his healthiest life. He's already putting in the work and is feeling pretty proud of himself, even if he still checks the treat jar just in case.<br/>At his core, Meril is a confident solo act who enjoys being the center of his world. He thrives when he can focus all his attention on his people and soak up one-on-one time without distractions. If you're someone who values loyalty, structure, and a dog with a lot of personality and heart, Meril might be exactly who you've been waiting for.<br/>Meril is ready for a home that understands him, respects his boundaries, and is excited to build a strong bond at his pace. Come meet him at the SPCA of Fredericksburg and see where the connection leads.<br/><br/><br/>Good news for Meril fans: his adoption fee is sponsored by the Fredericksburg Nationals!
