About Merritt

Merritt is an 18-month-old Labrador/Great Pyrenees mix, and he’s truly a showstopper in both looks and personality. This handsome boy adores people and is great with children, making him a delightful companion for a family. However, his affection is reserved solely for humans; he prefers to be the only pet in the household. Cats and small animals are viewed as potential snacks in his eyes, so it’s best that he remains in a home without them. Merritt enjoys lounging in cozy spots around the house, soaking up the morning sun on the deck while listening to the sweet sounds of birds. He has a bit of a sensitive side—loud noises, like fireworks, aren’t his favorite, and he appreciates a calm environment. A fenced yard is a must for him, as he loves to explore his surroundings. If you're looking for a loyal companion who embodies love and good manners, Merritt is eager to join your family. He’s looking for a forever home where he can be adored and appreciated. If you're ready to give an incredible dog a loving home, Merritt is waiting for your application.
