Merrick is the kind of dog who knows how to work a room. He’s the standout at day care—everyone’s friend, tail always wagging, ready for the next belly rub. Life hasn’t always been easy on him. He spent his early years tethered tight and consistently underfed, but that’s in the past now. Since then, he’s transformed into a genuinely polite, trusting companion with a constant desire to connect. Kids get nothing but warmth from him. No one really knows how he feels about cats; he treats them like a curiosity he’s yet to solve. Merrick’s eager for a home that sees how far he’s come and is willing to be that lifelong friend.
