About Merritt

Merritt is an 18-month-old Labrador and Great Pyrenees mix who is truly stunning and well-mannered. He gets along wonderfully with people of all ages and would thrive in a family with children who can shower him with love. However, he has no interest in sharing his home with other dogs, cats, or any small animals, as he might see them as potential snacks. This charming dog enjoys lounging in cozy spots and basking in the morning sun while listening to the birds. He has a few dislikes, including fireworks and the presence of another dog, so those are important to consider in a potential home. Merritt needs a fenced yard and would love a space where he can relax and be adored. With his exceptional manners and affection, Merritt is ready to bring joy to the right family. If you think you're the perfect match for Merritt, be sure to apply online. He is in Nashville but can travel to approved adopters across the eastern United States.
