About Merritt

Merritt is an 18-month-old Labrador and Great Pyrenees mix, radiating charm and good manners. He adores people of all ages and is a perfect fit for a family with children. With a delightful personality, Merritt offers boundless affection, but he prefers to be the only dog in the home—other dogs just don’t meet his standards. He may view cats and poultry as potential snacks, so those pets should not be in his future home either. Known for enjoying leisurely mornings, Merritt loves to settle into a cozy dog bed and soak in the morning air while listening to the birds. Though he dislikes fireworks, the presence of another dog, and Coldplay, he thrives on positive human interaction and appreciates a calm environment. A fenced yard would suit him perfectly, offering space for play without the presence of other pets. If you seek a loyal companion with a warm heart and great manners, Merritt would love to join your family. His stellar references from humans speak volumes. Merritt is located in Nashville and can be transported to approved adopters in the eastern United States. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
