Have you met a more handsome boy? We think NOT! Merit is the sweetest pup there ever was. He loves everyone and every animal he meets! Merit was found as a wounded stray by Animal Control. He was presumed to have been hit by a car, and had multiple wounds to his back end, tail, neck and shoulder area. Animal Control has no way to give vet attention to the dogs in their care, they are a shelter, a kill shelter. When a dog comes in a a stray it is placed on a "Stray hold" for 3 days, if an owner does not come forward in those 3 days, and a rescue, or new adopter does not put a hold on the dog, the dog will be euthanized after those 3 days. On the last day of Merits stray hold, we saw Merit in the Animal Control shelter, adn saw how much pain her was in, we had to get him out and get him immediate vet attention. Merit had x rays done, thankfuly no broken bones, no internal bleeding. His wounds were cleaned, dressed, and he was placed on antibiotics to clear the infection. He has healed up for about a month in his TN foster home, he is now well on his way to being back to his old self, and is now in New England and looking for his forever family. Merit is a sweet boy, who never met a person or a dog he didnt love. He has been in a foster home with cats, and he didnt bother them. We do think if there is a cat outside he may chase it, only because he wants to be friends! He is the definition of a love bug! He is an Australlian Shepard mix, we assume he may have some american staffy as well, one thing is for sure he is 100% handsome! He is smaller than he looks, hes on the small side of medium sized. Merit is still young, and in his adolecent years, he knows some of his basic commands, he is housebroken, crate trained, and fully vetted and UTD on his vaccines. This sweetest boy ever, he reallt is a special pupper, and anyone who meets him is guarenteed to have their heart stollen, by his joy of life, sweet disposition, he really desereves the best happy ever after!
