Meet the fabulous Merle! 🌟 At an impressive age of 10-11 years, this lovable old buddy weighs around 35 pounds of pure joy! 🎉 Merle is like the wise grandparent everyone wishes they had—chill, relaxed, and ready to share a lifetime of cuddles and stories. 📖 His gentle spirit shines bright, especially when he’s around other furry pals; he gets along splendidly with both dogs and cats, making him the perfect housemate for any furry family! 🐾 Now, here's a little quirk about our sweet Merle: he’s got a little less than 100% control over his bladder. 🚽 But fear not! Merle wears a belly band like a champ, and who can complain when you have such a wonderful soul beside you? ❤️ If you’re searching for an easy-going senior companion who doesn't need much fuss, then Merle is your guy! With his heartwarming gaze, he can brighten your day and fill your home with love. 💕 As a delightful bonus, Merle is part of the Senior Soulmate Program! This means if he finds his forever home with a wonderful senior citizen, a generous donor will cover his adoption fee, and he’ll also come with six months of heartworm protection—talk about a great deal! 🤑 Let’s be real: adopting a senior dog like Merle is not just giving them a home; it's adding joy and peace to your life. 🥰 All of our dogs, including Merle, are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm tested—fostering a happy and healthy fur baby! To meet Merle, an approved application is required. Remember, this fabulous friend isn’t at a shelter, so you’ll need to fill out that application first—no exceptions! 🔑 Also, a little heads-up: if you're outside the 2-hour radius of Dayton, OH, please consider reaching out to a local rescue or shelter. Let's help Merle find his perfect match! So, are you ready to bring this wonderful old soul into your life? Don't wait! Apply to adopt Merle today through the Buddy App! 🐶💕
