Meet the magnificent Merlin, a stunning black Lab mix who has magically made his way to New England from sunny Memphis! 🎩✨ This dashing, athletic fellow can leap over five-foot fences with the grace of a gazelle—talk about an adventurous spirit! His previous family, knowing how much he loves to explore, made the tough decision to surrender him so he could find a safer sanctuary here. Isn’t that selfless? 🔍❤️ Now, let’s get to the heart of this matter. Merlin is not just a pretty face; he’s an absolute sweetheart! He adores children, having lived happily with them before, and he gets along splendidly with other dogs too—he might even prefer a furry buddy to romp around with! 🐶🧡 His affectionate and social nature means he thrives on companionship and attention. Who doesn’t want a lively bag of love around? This gorgeous guy has settled into his foster home like it’s a five-star resort. 🏨⭐ He’s soaking up all the affection and, from what we can tell, he seems to be house-trained (hooray for that!). Picture him gleefully playing and lounging, ready to charm anyone who walks in! Merlin is the dream dog for someone who can keep him active and mentally stimulated—and let’s face it, who wouldn’t want that energy in their life? Although a fenced yard isn’t a must for this lively lad, if he does have one, it should be at least six feet tall. Divine supervision is key when he’s outside! And just a sweet heads-up: he has a tendency to bond closely with his people, which could lead to a bit of separation anxiety—totally understandable given the changes he’s faced. 🌈💞 Merlin has been fully vetted: he’s up to date on shots, heartworm negative, and microchipped. At two years old and weighing in at 70 pounds, he’s ready to bring joy and loyalty into a loving forever home. If you're on the lookout for a fun-loving, family-friendly companion who will keep you entertained and filled with love, Merlin might just be *the one*!😄🐾 Excited about this fabulous boy?
