My story

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

Merlin is Sponsored by Mark Colby & Romona Youngquist

Meet Merlin

Merlin is a distinguished little gentleman, believed to be around 10 years young, with the soulful eyes and quiet wisdom of a dog who has seen a thing or two. This poodle–Bichon Frise mix may be small in size, but his presence is unmistakably magical.

Like any seasoned wizard, Merlin’s senses aren’t what they used to be—he has some vision and hearing impairment—but he navigates the world just fine at his own gentle pace. What he lacks in sight and sound, he more than makes up for in sweetness, calm companionship, and a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures in life: soft beds, kind voices, and peaceful surroundings.

Merlin would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home where he can spend his golden years exactly as he deserves—wrapped in comfort, stability, and love. He’s not looking for adventure or chaos; he’s looking for a devoted companion who understands that the best magic is found in still moments and steady hearts.

If you’re searching for a calm, affectionate friend to share quiet days and cozy evenings, Merlin is ready to retire his staff and settle into a life of well-earned rest and devotion.

If you are interested in meeting me, the shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday 11am – 5pm, Sunday 11am-4pm (Winter Hours).
If you’d like to schedule an appointment, check out the pets’ profile on our website at newberganimals.com to fill out an application and email to frontdesk@newberganimals.com.Due to COVID-19, we are currently only open by appointment. Please follow the instructions on each pet profile.

Adoption Applications do not place holds on pets, nor do we do pre-adoptions.

Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, and at least their first set of vaccines, and microchip.
Puppies: $275-$600
Young Dogs: $240-$400
