Meet MERLIN, the cuddly, almost 2-year-old pup who’ll steal your heart as soon as he flashes his charming puppy eyes! This affectionate guy loves to be by your side—think Paul Rudd level of chill and charm—but when you come home, get ready for a welcome like no other. MERLIN’s excitement is unmatched by any human, complete with tail wags and a beaming doggy smile!

MERLIN’s typical day? Plenty of naps, a couple of casual walks, and unlimited cuddle time! He’s got impressive leash manners and only a mild interest in squirrels and other small critters. While he might occasionally pull if a squirrel comes close, he’s generally easy to redirect and would make a lovely companion for someone looking for a relaxed, love-filled life.

Though not a fan of fetch, MERLIN loves chew toys and scent-based games that keep him entertained. He’s not super into being alone, so a home where his humans are around often would be ideal—he’s happiest napping nearby or keeping you company throughout the day. He might whine a bit at night when first crated but settles quickly, making him a pretty easy-going roommate.

MERLIN’s still building confidence with loud noises and big vehicles, so a quieter, calmer home environment would suit him best. He hasn’t had much experience with other dogs or children yet, but he’s friendly and could likely adjust well with a gentle introduction.

If you’re looking for a laid-back cuddle bug who’s as sweet as he is chill, MERLIN might just be your perfect match!

MERLIN will be attending our adoption event at Hamilton Pet Valu, on Nov 24th! The event is from 12-3pm at 1550 Upper James St, Hamilton, ON. Come say hi to MERLIN, he’d love to meet you! PLEASE NOTE: We will not be processing any applications for MERLIN until after the event.
