Merlin is a an 8 year old Airedale/Australian Cattle Dog mix. He is loving and loyal. He gets along with other dogs. He loves to play fetch and he's great with cats! When it comes to his social life with people, he is an introvert. He likes people but isn’t one that likes to have a big friend group. He'd just love to be with you, be your loyal companion and not have to meet everyone. He would be fine meeting your inner circle, but this adorable boy does not want to be a "man about town." Merlin was adopted recently and brought back because they wanted to take him out a lot and turn him into a social butterfly. That's not who Merlin is. If you're looking for a well-mannered, house trained, loving companion who is fine left alone when you're out running errands, Merlin is the dog for you! (He actually loves car rides, but again.... don't ask him to be buddies with everyone he meets.) If you think you and Merlin would do well together, we would love to make that happen! You can text Amanda at 509-539-4326 to find out how. Increasingly, we are doing FOSTER TO ADOPT options! That’s where you and puppers make sure you’re a good fit for one another before signing on “the dotted line”….. it’s a win-win for everyone! Just ask your adoption counselor about how this works. If you are interested in adopting this or another POPP dog, please complete our short adoption questionnaire found at: https://www.popptricities.org/adopt/adoption-questionnaire-canine/ If you have any questions. please E-mail us at dogsadopt@popptricities.org. Our puppy or dog adoption fee of $100 includes a lovable, non-judgmental canine companion who has been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped prior to adoption. Your adoption fee helps support POPP and our spay/neuter efforts in the community to end overpopulation of cats and dogs.
