Merlin's Story

Merlin is a sweet senior boy about 10 years old. This loyal and playful pup is looking for a quiet retirement home where he can spend his golden years being loved. Merlin was rescued from a neglect situation, and while his past is sad, his future can be bright. He is a loving and gentle dog who adores nothing more than a gentle hand to pet him. Due to his past, Merlin has some special care needs. He has some joint and mobility issues due to his past obesity, and while he gets around well, he is slow and steady. He will need a dedicated owner who can make sure he gets his daily exercise and continues his weight loss journey (he's lost over 20 pounds so far!). Merlin also has some sensitivities and doesn't like his hindquarters or feet to be touched, and he needs a home who will respect his boundaries. Despite his quirks, Merlin is an incredibly sweet dog who is just looking for a person to love him. He is house-trained and gets along well with other dogs. He would do best in a quiet, adult-only home where he can be the center of attention. If you're looking to welcome a sweet, gentle senior into your home, Merlin is your boy. Please complete an application at www.ncsr-md.org to meet this sweet boy today!<br/>Please review the writeup carefully, we don't make exceptions to the dog's requirements.
