Merle's Story

Merle is a cuddle bug extrordinaire! He's a joyful, goofy lovebug bursting with personality, ready to light up your life. This affectionate, playful boy has a contagious happiness and a heart overflowing with love. Confident and social, he’s never shy around new people and instantly feels at home wherever he goes. If you desire a dog who will make you laugh every day and shower you with affection, Merle is your perfect match.<br/><br/>Merle is crate-trained and thrives on routines. He knows the command “get in your crate” and happily settles in at bedtime. During the day, he might bark briefly out of FOMO, but he calms down quickly and isn’t a constant barker. <br/><br/>Merle is highly food-motivated and enthusiastic about mealtime, which is an excellent benefit in continuing training. Merle does best with a slow feeder, which has completely prevented him from eating too fast. At mealtime, Merle does well eating in his crate or outside it in the house if there are no other dogs. Merle is working hard on his house manners and does very well with regular outdoor breaks.<br/><br/>Merle’s love for play is contagious, and he has a playful spirit. Fetch, wrestling on the couch, rolling onto his back for belly rubs are his favorite. He shares toys generously and patiently waits for his turn for treats. He’s endlessly entertaining, but he’s mindful of his limits and tends to pause when he’s tired.<br/><br/>Above all, Merle is a major lover. He's affectionate, cuddly, silly, and overflowing with personality, and eager to bring laughter and happiness into a loving home. Once you meet him, you can’t help but smile.<br/><br/>This good boy is genuinely ready to become someone’s very best friend.<br/><br/>Merle is being fostered in Austin, Texas. He is approximately 2.5 years old, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is taking flea and heartworm<br/>preventative. He weighs approximately 36 lbs and has a docked tail.
