Merle

What my friends at OHS say about me:

• I have been working with the Behavior team at OHS and I'm looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. Click the "meet me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment.
• To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
• I can't wait to show my new family how playful I am!
• Get your throwing arm ready! I would love to play fetch with you.
• I have the need for speed! I will need regular access to outdoors and daily exercise to live my best life. My friends highly recommend getting me a herding ball to play with or trying out some awesome dog sports.
• Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
• I can be picky about my canine companions. Slow introductions and having my own space will be important for me to adjust to a home with resident dogs.

The type of home I'm looking for:

• I would prefer to be the only dog in the home.
• I need a home without cats, other small animals, or small dogs.
• I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
• It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
