Merritt - Adopted in August 2010!

My husband and I could not have adopted a more perfect dog for our little family.  Merritt is a beautiful shepherd mix who we adopted when she was about 7 months old. She has the best disposition and is such a fun, happy dog--and very easy to train.  She and my husband go for daily walks through the Fells near our home and frequent the dog parks where she loves to play chase and tug of war.  Everyone who meets her, loves her! Merritt has brought so much joy to our lives! We truly can't imagine our lives without her. Who knew that a rescue dog from Arkansas would be such a snow dog?  She absolutely loved bounding through the 3+ feet that covered our backyard for most of January!  I think winter and snow is her preferred climate.  So far, she's not much of a water dog.  She'll wade in streams up to her stomach, but if she can't touch the bottom, she'll get nervous and climb out.  The thing she loves best about the warm weather is definitely the return of the squirrels--she goes absolutely nuts for them!
