Merlin

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]MERLIN MANCHESTER Adoption fee is £250 5 years old Male mini smooth red Neutered Merlin is a very clever, lovely and friendly boy who is looking for a special home following surgery for IVDD in March this year. Although he has made some progress, he is still currently unable to use his back legs and his owner has made the difficult decision to find Merlin a home better suited to his ongoing care and rehabilitation. Despite everything he has been through, Merlin’s wonderful nature shines through. He is a happy, affectionate little boy, full of character, who loves nothing more than being close to his people. Whether he’s playing with his favourite toys or curling up for a cuddle after a nap, Merlin is simply happiest when he’s surrounded by those he loves. His gentle, loving nature means he quickly becomes part of the family, and anyone lucky enough to welcome him into their home will gain a devoted and loving companion. Merlin is continuing his rehabilitation following his surgery, and his new family will need to be committed to providing the ongoing care and support he needs. He is continent with the occasional accident and sometimes needs his bladder expressing, although hopefully this should continue to improve. The Red Foundation is committed to supporting dogs with medical needs and we will discuss the support we can offer with potential adopters. Merlin could potentially live with another friendly dog and may also be able to live with dog-savvy cats (although he has never lived with a cat). He could also live with sensible, dog-savvy children aged 10 years and over who can understand and respect his needs. Due to his mobility needs, Merlin is looking for a home with easy access to a secure garden. Merlin sleeps in his crate and can be left for up to 3-4 hours. He is in excellent health apart from his IVDD and deserves a family who will continue to support him while embracing everything that makes him such a special little dog. With patience, commitment and plenty of affection, Merlin will make a truly wonderful companion and will undoubtedly become a much-loved member of the family.
