Merritt

Meet Merritt! <br/><br/>Merritt may have been born without the full use of her back legs, but don&#39;t tell her she&#39;s any differentthis brave little Bernese is busy writing her own rulebook. At just 30 pounds at six months, she won&#39;t grow to full Bernese size; instead, she&#39;ll likely top out around 5060 pounds, making her a wonderfully manageable medium-to-large pup.<br/><br/>She&#39;s already mastered her own way of getting around. Sometimes she hops, sometimes she scoots, and sometimes she rolls proudly in her wheelchair. Her latest favorite move in her chair? Spinning backwards in joyful little circles. Of course, if you happen to have a cheesestick, she&#39;ll happily show off some forward steps too.<br/><br/>Because of her disability, Merit doesn&#39;t always have full control of her bathroom habits. At home she does well with pee pads, and when she&#39;s out and about she wears a diaper like a champ. Her future family should be prepared for a bit of extra care, along with some lifting as she grows, but in return they&#39;ll gain a dog with one of the biggest hearts you&#39;ll ever meet.<br/><br/>Merit is happiest when she&#39;s snuggled in close, melting into your lap as though she was made for it. She loves other dogs, thrives on affection, and has a way of turning even her quirks into pure joy.<br/><br/>What she&#39;s looking for isn&#39;t complicated: a home that will embrace her differences, celebrate her determination, and love her for the sweet, resilient pup she is. With Merritt, you don&#39;t just get a dogyou get a daily reminder that courage and love come in all shapes and sizes.<br/><br/> pipsrescue.org/adopt
