Meryl is a sweet and playful 4-year-old dog with a loving personality and a zest for life. Meryl enjoys soft eye contact and is very affectionate. She loves playing with toys, especially stuffed animals and ropes, and is very engaging. She is friendly with new people and quickly warms up to strangers. Meryl knows basic commands like "sit" and "down." However, she can be reactive towards other dogs, so at this time she will need to placed in a solo-pet-only home. She may pull on the leash, so she would benefit from some leash training. Meryl is best suited for a home with children 16 and older, where she can receive the attention and training she deserves.
