Meet Truman: The Gentle Snuggler Ready for His Forever Home Sweet, kind, and oh-so-handsome Truman is a 1.5-2-year-old Kelpie mix who’s stealing hearts with his happy, healthy, and playful spirit. At 48 lbs, this pup boasts a gorgeous, shiny coat. Truman is the ultimate gentle soul, always approaching with a soft touch and a wagging tail, making him the perfect companion for cozy evenings on the couch or quiet moments of affection. Don’t let his playful side fool you; Truman is a total snuggler at heart, wrapping you in warmth and loyalty after a day of fun. He gets along fabulously with the other dogs at the rescue, often romping around in joyful playdates, and he absolutely LOVES water—check out his video to see him splashing with pure delight! You won’t find a sweeter, more loving dog; his gentle demeanor shines through in every interaction, whether he’s curling up beside you or greeting you with a soft nuzzle. If you’re ready to give Truman the wonderful home he deserves, download our adoption application from www.merceranimalrescue.org or email us at merceranimalrescue@gmail.com for a copy. Truman’s adoption fee is $525, plus a $185 transport fee. All our dogs start their journey in Tennessee—Truman is fostered there and will travel to his new family once adopted. He leaves every Friday via professional pet transport and can be picked up in MD, VA, PA, NJ, NY, or CT. Our primary source of funding comes from adoption donations, which help us rescue more dogs in danger of euthanasia, injured or sick pups, and those who’ve never known a loving home.
