About Merlin

Meet Merlin, the superstar of his own puppy sitcom, just waiting to charm his way into your heart. He has a knack for snack security—snacks mysteriously vanish whenever he’s nearby.

At just 4 months old, he currently weighs around 26 lbs and is expected to reach between 55 and 70 lbs fully grown. Merlin comes to you from the Harnett County Animal Shelter, where he was surrendered by his previous owners. Before he makes his big debut, he will be neutered, and his vaccinations are already up to date. While his adoption fee is $325, investing in this little character is bound to be priceless!
