Merlin's Story
Merlin is a very sweet and shy boy, who loves playing fetch, tug-of-war, and snuggling with his peeps. Merlin already knows lots of commands, like “sit, stay, come, paw”, plus he’s also housetrained, crate trained and does very well in the home. And he is also a clever pup, who’d benefit from positive reinforcement and enrichment, like puzzle feeders and Kongs, to help him settle into his new home and keep him mentally stimulated, as he is also a smart boy!
Merlin is really a big softy, so while he may look a big boy, he is rather timid and shy. He would do well with a predictable schedule and environment and would benefit from a patient and understanding family who can help him feel secure.
Are you Merlin’s new family? If you are happy to be a little patient, and can offer this super sweet, cuddle bug stability and time to settle into your home, and don’t have any resident pets, you are just the home Merlin is looking for! So come and let Merlin cast his magic spell on you, he’s a super boy just waiting for his own knight in shining armour to welcome him home!
