MERLIN*

My story

Merlin is one of the main characters in the 1963 Disney animated film, “The Sword in the Stone.” He was a powerful wizard who had a tendency to transform into animals, always retaining his signature glasses. While we don’t think that our boy Merlin is actually a wizard in disguise, we do think that he has the power to bring great joy into an adoptive family’s life! Merlin certainly has a knack for conjuring fans, with some of his volunteer fans sharing:“Merlin was a little timid in the kennel but easy to leash. Once he was out, he became very curious- a big-time sniffer. It’s fun to watch his ears prick up when listening to something as he has very tall ears. He’s great with his kennelmate, he likes attention, and he knows his ‘sit’ command. His ‘down’ command is new to him, but he’s about halfway into it. A couple more tries and I know he’ll get it. It’s obvious that he has high intelligence and is very trainable. Overall, a delight to walk.”“Merlin was shy at first, but after a tasty treat, he allowed the leash to be placed. He seemed to gain confidence around his kennelmate and walked nicely. He took treats gently.”Merlin has recently enjoyed a couple of day trips, with his new friends describing him as a sweet, shy, gentle, calm and reserved guy. He shares his kennel politely with another pup and looks forward to meeting any potential furry roommates before heading home to ensure a good fit. Whether you’re struck by Merlin’s good looks, gentle personality, or calm demeanor, he’s ready to go home with you and say “Abracadabra!” as he trades the shelter for his furever home!
