Merry

My story

ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 20 lbs ESTIMATED AGE: 2 years old KNOWN WITH DOGS: The shelter we brought her in from shared that she was fine with other dogs; however Merry has given our fosters some mixed messages about her feelings towards them. It may just be that Merry needs some more time to settle in, or that we just need to look for the right dog friend for her. KNOWN WITH CATS: Unknown at this time-- HOWEVER, please check back soon as she is going to be staying with a foster that has multiple cats. KNOWN WITH KIDS: So far Merry has done well with all the humans she has met. She hasn't met many kids- but we would be happy to coordinate an introduction. KNOWN COMMANDS: We are still learning what commands she may now KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: KNOWN LIKES: She is a big fan of treats and spending time following her humans around to always ensure they don't need any help eating snacks! KNOWN DISLIKES: Right now- maybe other dogs. We still need to giver her some time to adjust. It may just be finding the right dog for her. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Merry just arrived to our adoption center so we are still learning more about her as she settles in. She is resting comfortably in a foster home and we will have more personality updates soon. In the meantime what we have learned is that she is a confident girl who has no problems riding in the car, lounging on the furniture or spending time with her foster. She is a smaller beagle (maybe even Beagle dachshund) so she is the perfect size for any type of home or lifestyle.
