Merle came to the shelter with his best friend Duke after a heartbreaking tragedy took their beloved owner. This senior boy is a bit shy at first, but beneath that gentle reserve is a truly sweet and loving companion. Merle is housebroken, neutered, and fully vaccinated. He would do best in a calm home with older children where he can feel safe and take his time to settle in. He may be a little quieter, but Merle has so much love to give to the right person. After all he's been through, he deserves a peaceful home and a happy ending. Could you be the one to give Merle the love and comfort he's been waiting for?
