Merle is a Labrador Retriever mix puppy currently staying in foster care near Townley, AL. He’s got a classic black coat with a hidden surprise—a faint pattern sometimes visible in the right light, plus a generous white patch on his chest. Merle started out larger than his brother Eb, but it seems Eb is catching up fast. Both Merle and Eb show plenty of Lab personality: playful and quick to chase a tennis ball, though neither has figured out the returning part yet. Merle is house trained and gets along well with other dogs and children. For families wanting a friendly and smart pup with a hint of mischief, Merle has plenty to offer. What are you waiting for?
