MERLINA – Lab Mix / 1.5 Years / 18kg / F-Spayed

Hey there, I’m Merlina, let me tell you a bit about myself!

I used to be a bit shy, but now I’m really starting to show my true colors! My humans say I’ve come out of my shell, and I’m proud of it. I’m a goofy girl with a heart full of love. Let me tell you, the highlight of my day is when I’m in the backyard. That’s where I let loose and show my goofiest side!

You know what I absolutely adore? Gazing out of the front window. It’s like my own personal TV show out there! Toys? Oh yeah, I’m getting the hang of those and having a blast zooming around with them! I also need a dog friend in the house! Having a buddy around for playtime and companionship is essential for my continued growth and confidence. Plus, it’s just so much fun to have someone to romp around with!

Walks are the best! I live for the sniffing adventures, though I’m still learning to keep my focus and not pull too much. My humans are helping me with that. Oh, and my crate at night? It’s my cozy little den. Alone time? Sometimes I’m cool with being alone at home, sometimes I’m not so sure about it. Still working on that!

My schedule is pretty chill lately, and I’m cool with it. I’m adaptable like that! I definitely prefer having my humans around most of the time. I even snooze quietly in the office while they work, I’d make a great work-from-home companion. In new places, I might be a bit reserved, but at home, I’m a confident and fun-loving girl through and through.

Now about my dream home! It’s got a big, fully fenced yard where I can run and play to my heart’s content. An active family taking me on lots of walks, hikes and adventures. If there are any kids in the house, I’d prefer them to be older and dog-savvy, you know, respectful of my space and all that. Oh, and guess what? I passed my cat test, so I’m totally cool with having feline friends around too!
