Meru's Story

~DOB: 10/1/2022<br/>Weight: 85 Pounds<br/>Energy level: High<br/>Overall drive: Moderate<br/>Location: Philomath, OR<br/><br/><br/>Meet Meru The Gold Medal Cuddle Athlete <br/><br/>If Meru were human, shed be an Olympic gymnast. The girls got moves such as launching through the air after a tennis ball like shes auditioning for a slow-motion sports montage. Fetch? She wins. Always. <br/>At 85 lbs, Meru is basically a fluffy emotional support tank - equal parts snuggle buddy and jogging partner. She can run 7 miles at 4 a.m., yet also believes the best endurance sport is spooning you all night. If youre sad, shell kiss away your tears. If youre happy, shell kiss you anyway. <br/>Meru is the life of the party with kids, strangers, and other dogs and her neighbors little boy even knocks on the door to ask if she can come out to play. Shes polite around big animals (though wild turkeys and cats are fair game in her book). Shes also your built-in security system, delivering an impressive bark to keep sketchy night joggers at bay. <br/>Her absolute #1 love in life? Food. Meals, treats, butcher bones - if its edible, Meru is interested. This makes training a breeze but also means shes your biggest cheerleader in the kitchen. <br/>Shes house-trained, crate-trained (though crates arent her fave), and thrives on gentle guidance. When exercised, shes calm indoors and perfectly content to snooze at your side. <br/>Merus dream home? An active, affectionate family who loves the outdoors as much as she does, with kids over 5 and plenty of time for adventures, fetch tournaments, and cuddle marathons. <br/>Basically, shes an Olympic-level athlete in the body of your future best friend. And shes ready to win gold in your heart.
