Hi everyone, my name is Merlin and I’m 4 years old. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was a real Skinny Minnie and a big Nervous Nellie. Pretty strange because I’m actually a boy and these are girl names, right? The reality is my previous life wasn’t good, and it made me terrified of everything. I am starting to put on weight and I’m a lot less nervous. I am more nervous around men but even that is improving a bit. I’m fine with other dogs, particularly low-energy ones. In a perfect world, GR thinks I would be best in a family of women only. I also love cats so a cat around the house would also be cool. Maybe we could see if Taylor Swift is interested. I’ve heard she’s a single childless cat lady, hee hee. I am learning my commands, I am really good on the leash thingy and I hardly ever bark. Loud noises don’t bother me and once I get to know you, you can touch me anywhere. I am gentle with my treats, and you can leave me alone if you have to go out without me. Other than needing to put on weight the doc says I’m a healthy boy. I’m pretty low key and my favorite thing is just hanging out and chilling with my mom. Here’s what my foster mum says about me: “Merlin is a gentle sweet soul who’s life was not great before coming to Golden rescue but he has come a long way and just needs some patience, love and understanding.”
Hope to meet you real soon. I’ll be the one hanging out on the couch.
