Meet Merle, a charming Maltese who found his way to us after a tough start in a puppy mill. Born on January 27, 2021, this little guy weighs 10 lbs and has a sweet demeanor that makes him a joy to be around. Due to some neglected dental care, he has only a few teeth left, but that doesn’t hinder his ability to enjoy his meals. Merle is looking for a patient home where he can feel secure. While he's making great progress with potty training, he might still have the occasional accident. In new situations, he needs some extra time to build trust, but he’s doing well with his foster family. He enjoys the company of other dogs, and we believe he would likely adapt well to living with cats as well. However, we recommend a home without toddlers or very young children to ensure his comfort.
