My name is Merlin!

Diary of a Foster Dog

Waking up today, I can't stop thinking about finding my forever home. It'll have to be a special one since I'm a bit of an oddball, but I know they're out there somewhere. 

Since my vision is spotty, it takes me longer to adjust to new people and places. I really just need someone who is patient and willing to guide me to my favorite spots until I get the hang of things. 

I've come a long way in the past year, from living in an abandoned building to living in a real home with humans to care for me. The dogs here have taught me so much and given me confidence, surely my forever family will have a dog to continue helping me become my best self. And cats- I live with those too. I give those unpredictable claw-filled bundles of fur plenty of space, just in case. 

I'm looking forward to having a new yard to explore but it has to be fenced- being on leash freaks me out until I REALLY trust you. Foster mom and dad call me an introvert because I'd much rather stay home and snuggle on the couch than go on walks and adventures. My ideal life is a quiet one with structure, consistency, and most importantly- lots of love. 

It seems like alot to ask and I know my quirks won't fit every lifestyle, and that's ok! But if you think my precious face would be the perfect addition to your home, please apply to adopt me. I'm ready for the best chapter of my life to begin! 

All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home.

We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application.

We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information.

We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.
