About Merlin

Meet Merlin, formerly known as Merlot. This charming 6-month-old Great Dane mix is on the lookout for his forever home. His previous family returned him through no fault of his own, and they described him as a loving dog with a knack for basic commands like sit, shake, and wait for his food. Merlin is indoor trained and enjoys playing with bully sticks and his Kong filled with peanut butter. He’s gentle with other dogs and only barks when he needs to go out. Merlin is both leash and crate trained, happily sleeping in his cozy crate every night. He loves to soak up the sun and is very friendly and careful around both familiar faces and newcomers. Merlin is eager to grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. Could you be the family he’s looking for? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
