Merle

Can't adopt but want to help? Please contact [email protected] to find out about sponsorship, fostering, and other ways you can help this animal! Please note that financial sponsorship will be applied to the specific animal you indicate unless it is not needed, at which time we will let you designate it for another HT animal of your choice.

You can save animals like Merle by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters, so that they have more time to find a permanent family. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please click here and email the questionnaire to [email protected].




I'm Merle! I'm just one sweet country boy from Virginia looking to hit it big in the city. I'm not hoping to get to Nashville with my great voice and awesome personality but I sure would love a nice home and family in the DC area.

I'm above and beyond your average 14 week I'm fully crate and house trained. It's a good idea to leave me out puppy pads if you're going to leave water out while your gone. I can hold it but since I'm a little guy it's a good idea not to push the skills. I love to play fetch and I'll return it too! My favorite animal is a stuffed puppy who I call "Baby." I walk well on a leash and have an all around medium energy respectful personality. I also love all forms of water to include- rivers, sprinklers and showers! I live with Kitties too and I don't chase them...but I growl a little before i scurry away from them, because they're funny looking...
