If you’re looking for a pet with cattle dog brainpower but in a slightly smaller package, beautiful ginger Merle is just the guy for you. What’s that? You don’t have any cows in need of herding? No worries, Merle will be happy to put his smarts to use by making tech support calls for you. He always keeps his cool, and even takes the annoying surveys at the end.
Here’s a note from his foster:
Country boy Merle is really settling in to big city living. The biggest update is that he no longer has pee accidents in the house, even when we have left him alone for several hours. As we suspected, he has no problem holding it in, he just must have gotten a little stressed when we would leave. He seems a lot more relaxed now and understands the routine.
Merle still loves going on little walks. He’s happy to get pets from the humans, and hasn’t had any issues with other dogs we have walked by. Merle’s tummy is doing great too. He has a great appetite, always cleans his bowl, and hasn’t had digestive issues.
Most importantly, Merle is just a great dude. He never makes any trouble and is so happy and thankful to have a home. He takes long naps during the day but gets up every so often for a good stretch and some pets and belly rubs. Then after his dinner and a few more pets, it’s back to bed for a nice, peaceful sleep through the night. He’s got the best little soul that has really brightened the mood of our house.
