Merida

My story

*To arrange a meet and greet and ensure a smooth introduction, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice. This allows us the necessary time to coordinate schedules with their wonderful foster family.*Hi my name is Merida! My pups and I were brought to ATR on 10/3/25 after being found in the desert in California. I've got a fantastic blend of playful energy and serious cuddle enthusiasm. A simple walk each day is totally fine for me, but if you mention a hike, I'll grab my leash immediately! I'm also a great companion if you need some affection, and I absolutely love a good game of fetch. Just know that after all that activity, I'll need a long nap because I'm a bit of a sleepy girl, too! Speaking of down time, I will accept any and all belly rubs and chin scratches you are willing to give.Now, I do have a little secret: I'm a bit of an escape artist! I'm pretty smart, so I need a very secure yard and definitely need supervision when I'm hanging out outdoors. I just can't resist a good adventure, but my favorite place to be is always right by your side!You can schedule an appointment to meet and adopt me on 11/24, I can’t wait to meet you!If you are interested in meeting me, please make a 'Meet our Teen + Adult Pups' appointment! To meet this pup, schedule an appointment by going to www.adoptapup.as.me and selecting Meet Our Pups! or Meet our Adult Dogs!
