About Merry

Merry is eager to find a home with experience handling German Shepherds. This sweet boy, still a baby at just 7 months old, is discovering the world after being cooped up for much of his early life. In his foster home, he’s learning the basics like walking on a leash and responding to commands. Since he was under-socialized before, he will thrive with a patient owner who can guide him into becoming his best self. Merry gets along well with other dogs, so having a confident canine companion at home will benefit him greatly. A secure fenced yard is a must for his safety, and he's also friendly with cats. He has the potential to blossom in the right environment and is set to be neutered at the end of November, but pre-adoption applications are welcome. Ready to discover new adventures together?
