Merida is a sweet, affectionate Redbone Coonhound who loves nothing more than cuddling close after a good play session. She’s crate trained and gentle with people, showing her loving side at every chance. Merida gets bursts of playfulness, especially when her curious nose is put to work. She needs daily exercise and thrives with scent-based enrichment—think snuffle mats, food puzzles, or treat scavenger hunts in the backyard. Merida gets along well with other large dogs but has a prey drive, so she is not suited for homes with small dogs or cats. She’s hoping to find a family willing to make her a true member of the pack. Despite a rough start, Merida remains open-hearted and ready for her new chapter. Start your journey together! Apply now.
