Merle is an eight-month-old sweetheart with a playful personality and one very important belief: he is absolutely a lap dog. Size? Irrelevant. If there's a lap nearby, Merle is convinced it's meant for him. This goofy boy loves to play, explore, and hang out with his people. After a little fun, he's happiest snuggling up as close as possible-preferably right on top of you-because personal space is overrated in Merle's world. Merle is available for pre-adoption pending his neuter surgery, which means he can go home with his new family today but will need to return for his scheduled surgery appointment. If you're looking for a playful, cuddly pup who will happily double as a weighted blanket, Merle might just be your guy!
