Merry came to DPA as a stray mom from CCAS after all of her puppies were adopted. When her foster we saw her sweet face they couldn’t look away. Merry was incredibly sick when she was pulled, battling distemper and pneumonia and came dangerously close to not making it. But this sweet girl has a whole lot of strength and she survived and is now thriving.
True to her name, Merry is a happy, gentle soul. Even at her sickest, she wagged her tail and greeted each day with quiet optimism. Today, she’s low energy, calm, and content just being close to her people. She’s a professional cuddler who loves curling up in your lap and soaking in affection. Toys aren’t her main thing but she absolutely loves treats.
Merry is leash trained, crate trained, and potty trained, making her an easy addition to the right home. She’s done well with other dogs and hasn’t met kids or cats yet. Her ideal home would be a peaceful, warm, low key environment where she can relax, cuddle, and feel safe.
