This is a courtesy posting. Sweet MERLE is waiting for a loving home at the Bakersfield Animal Care Center! If you would be interested in fostering or adopting this 8 yr. old boy, let us know. Transport to the Bay Area is possible. Here's his shelter bio: MERLE is 8 yrs. old and came into the shelter with a female pup that passed away. He's a good boy described as "sweet and engaging", moderately active and in good health. Just 35lbs. He's a calm and friendly boy who can still get silly now and then.
