Meet the delightful and quirky Merlin! 🎉 This charming 2-year-old mix brings a sprinkle of laughter and a dash of personality to the room! He was surrendered when his owner moved, and let me tell you, this little fella had quite a journey! 🐾 When he first arrived at the rescue, Merlin had never been to a vet—can you believe that? He was covered in some odd healing scabs, which his previous owners claimed were from a new shampoo—what a tale! But fear not, because Merlin has been on the mend, his skin has healed beautifully, and he’s added some weight to his little frame! At about 13 pounds (ideally around 15), this lovable goofball might give you a chuckle with his nervous little antics at first. But give him a moment, and he opens up, dancing around to catch your attention! 💃 And squeaky toys? Oh honey, they are his ultimate obsession! He walks ever so nicely on a leash, and while he gets along with other dogs, he’s perfectly content either having canine company or ruling your heart as your one and only! Now, they've claimed him as a Maltese mix, but between you and me, he looks like a fabulous medley of an Eskimo dog and a longhaired Chihuahua! Adorable, right? 🐶 Merlin has been vetted, neutered, updated on all his shots, and now he’s ready for his forever home! Are you the one who can give him the love he craves? Adopting him is a breeze through the Buddy App!
