Here's what the humans have to say about me:
It got scarily close to Merlin's euthanasia time in a dismal Kansas shelter. It was definitely through no fault of his own..it's all a matter of space. He came in at a very crowded time (but then again..all times are very crowded) and was therefore given a very short window in which to be rescued. After a scramble by our very compassionate Kansas rescuer (she has a soft spot for a really cute fuzzy guy with a great temperament!), was pulled out of the shelter at the last second possible. His rescuer and shelter workers haven't stopped raving about this adorable and engaging guy ever since.
Merlin, at approximately 2.5 - 3 years old and 15 lbs is the perfect size to take along just about anywhere. He is such a perfect candidate to find his forever home in Colorado - he's a natural-born walker or hiker with the energy and enthusiasm to accompany his favorite person on any path. We envision Merlin with an active family with dog-loving, respectful kids or retirees who enjoy spending their time with a comical fuzzy guy He would be a very family-oriented pup if given the chance...adventures, vacations or just hanging out at home would speak to the nature of this guy. A fun time would be exploring dog-friendly spots or time spent socializing with gentle canines and their dog-loving families. At the end of the day...there would be nothing better for Merlin than to snuggle down with his family of humans and canines..he is unknown with cats.
Merlin can be counted on to be a truly positive addition to any home. He is a low-maintenance guy whose joy at being part of a committed family would know no bounds. Merlin would shine in positive reinforcement group obedience classes since his desire to please is so strong...and it would create that special bond that exists between a trained, respectful dog and his people. After passing his temperament tests and vetting with flying colors, Merlin is being reminded of his basic house skills. His rescuer has described him as a lovebug and a sweetpea...can we possibly say more? They did say that Merlin may need a day or so after his long transport to Boulder to be his happy and very loving self again.
Merlin is in need of a sudsy bath and a great brushing…. he will emerge with an amazing tricolor coat that over time will speak of cottony softness and good health. Merlin will require a commitment to periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep his lovely coat healthy, shining and matt-free.
While we've requested that Merlin be neutered prior to his transport, we're not optimistic that this will occur. If it doesn't..Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Merlin's neuter and microchip if our Denver vet is used.
Merlin will be arriving on transport in Denver on Tuesday 12/13/16. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/.
