My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Merrick, the Catahoula mix with a heart of gold! This sweet boy may be a bit shy at first, but with a little love and patience, he`s sure to blossom into a loyal and loving companion. Shelter life has been tough on Merrick, but he`s waiting for that special family who can help him feel comfortable in his own time. Merrick loves to run and play with his favorite doggy friends, and there`s nothing he enjoys more than lounging in the sun, soaking up the warmth. If you`re looking for a devoted friend who just needs a little TLC to come out of his shell, Merrick is the pup for you!
