She’s the pup that everyone can't stop talking about because she’s just *that* special! 🌈 Merrie is not just a dog; she’s a bundle of joy wrapped in a thick, soft coat—did you know the staff affectionately calls her "the hippo" because her heart and spirit just make her so full of life? 🦛 Whether it's splashing around in water or playing with her favorite toys, this girl finds pure happiness in the simplest things! 💦 With a penchant for playfulness and endless affection, she’s great with people and even friends with other dogs! 🐶❤️ While we think she’s just fabulous, there’s one tiny hiccup—Merrie does have a tendency to chase cats! 🐱 But hey, every girl’s got her quirks, right?
