Merlin

ADOPTED - Merlin's a funny looking little mythical creature, but you will never meet a more charming fellow! He has been neutered, heartworm tested, microchipped, immunized, and professionally groomed. He even had a dentistry done not long ago, so his pearly whites are again just that....pearly white! Merlin wants to make magic in your life. This sweet boy enjoys a nap in your lap as much as he does chasing a ball or watching squirrels out the window. In his foster home he gets along with other dogs (although he prefers females to males). However, he can entertain himself and would be a fine "only" dog. His silky coat does not easily knot though he picks up twigs and things outdoors so he'll need regular brushing at home. He's fine with being brushed but appreciates an ear rub and a doggie treat afterwards. Merlin loves to go for leash walks and to just cuddle with his "person", so we would like him to be adopted by someone who works part time, works at home, or is retired--so that he won't have to be a latchkey dog. While Merlin is housebroken, he was previously owned by an elderly lady who wasn't able to work with him when he occasionally "marked" in the house. Consequently, until he is re-trained by his new owner, we suggest that he wear a cute little "belly band" to discourage him from lifting his leg in the house. Merlin is about 3 or 4 years old and he only weighs 12 pounds, so--even though he loves everyone he meets--we would prefer he not be adopted by a family with young children for fear he would be stepped on or inadvertently injured. His adoption fee is $250. If you are interested in learning more about Merlin, please write and tell us a little about yourself and your family situation and your lifestyle. If we feel Merlin would be a good fit for you--and vice versa--we will send you an adoption application. Our e-mail address is: [email protected]

read more about our rescue's adoption policies and fees. We do not operate a
humane society or shelter, so we do not have a facility that is open to the
public. Our dogs are fostered by volunteers in private homes, and are not
available for viewing until an adoption application is filled out and references
are checked. Please read the information on our home page (by clicking on our
rescue name below this dog's photo) before contacting us.
