Hi, I'm Merlin. I am a sweet and loving young pup!

I'm settling in well at my foster home, and learning a lot of new things because I haven't had much training before now.

I am a bit afraid of loud noises (especially the vacuum cleaner and lawn mower). Young kids when they run up close to me also make me a bit nervous, and I've been known to bark at them when I've been scared (although I'm getting a bit better with this). I'm definitely learning that I don't need to be so scared of everything.

I'm still learning how to walk on the lead! Sometimes I might surprise you and walk really well, but like I said, I have had a lot of new things to learn since coming into foster care. My foster mum thinks I am a smart and good boy and I am learning more everyday!

I'm a fairly active little fella, so those looking for a lap dog need not enquire.

I have a loving personality and everyone who meets me thinks I'm very cute! I'm looking for a forever home with someone who is mature, relaxed and who will give me lots of pats, and won't mind me sticking by your side all day. I will also need someone committed to continuing with my training and setting firm boundaries.

Is it you who will show me more of the outside world and take on life together?

Merlin is $300 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated, heartworm checked and given flea, tick and worm preventatives.
