Hi my name is Merida! My pups and I were brought to ATR on 10/3/25 after being found in the desert in California. I've got a fantastic blend of playful energy and serious cuddle enthusiasm. A simple walk each day is totally fine for me, but if you mention a hike, I'll grab my leash immediately! I'm also a great companion if you need some affection, and I absolutely love a good game of fetch. Just know that after all that activity, I'll need a long nap because I'm a bit of a sleepy girl, too! Speaking of down time, I will accept any and all belly rubs and chin scratches you are willing to give.
Now, I do have a little secret: I'm a bit of an escape artist! I'm pretty smart, so I need a very secure yard and definitely need supervision when I'm hanging out outdoors. I just can't resist a good adventure, but my favorite place to be is always right by your side!
You can schedule an appointment to meet and adopt me on 11/24, I can’t wait to meet you!
If you are interested in meeting me, please make a 'Meet our Teen + Adult Pups' appointment! To meet this pup, schedule an appointment by going to www.adoptapup.as.me and selecting Meet Our Pups! or Meet our Adult Dogs!

More about this rescue
Almost There Rescue is dedicated to saving mama dogs and pups, providing them care and enrichment, and finding them loving, forever homes.
ATR specializes in pregnant and nursing dogs and pups who need time and space to grow and become socialized. Our moms and pups have significant social time with adults, children, and other dogs. While in our care, our puppies go through a specially designed curriculum “Puppy Culture” developed by a team of experts including behavioral veterinarians and credentialed trainers. As soon as they are born and until they leave our care, our pups participate in age-appropriate enrichment activities to help with their socialization and overall development into well-adjusted furry family members. Our mama dogs also work with on site behaviorists who develop personalized programs to prepare them for life as your new best friend. All our dogs are exposed to many experiences to set them – and their new families – up for a lifetime of success. ATR is determined to give adopters all the information available about our dogs so we can find the perfect match. All of our dogs are altered, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on vaccines prior to adoption. Adoption fees paid help cover our substantial costs and fund our life-saving work.
