About Merlin

Meet Merlin: your future fetch partner and loyal trail buddy! This 4-year-old dog is a blend of Siberian Husky and Chihuahua, weighing in at 43 lbs. With his athletic build and adorable underbite, Merlin is an ideal companion for someone who loves outdoor adventures. He thrives in an active, solo-dog household, preferably with adults or older kids. While Merlin gets along with cats and is socially dog-friendly in neutral settings, he must be the only dog in the home due to sensitivity around other canines. Merlin is fully house-trained and crate-trained, making him low-maintenance in the home. He responds well to training because of his intelligence and eagerness to please. When he’s not exploring the great outdoors or playing fetch, he’s more than happy to settle down for some quality couch time with his favorite human. His ideal owner is someone who shares his love for the outdoors and has time to devote to an active lifestyle. Looking for a loyal companion who offers unwavering affection? Merlin might just be the perfect match for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending, and this one starts with you.
