Merryweather's story

　　Say hello to Merryweather! Merryweather is the MCAC West shelter's longest longtimer (intake May 2nd), but this is my first time officially meeting her. Based on her notes, I thought she would be a somewhat aloof/independent dog. Imagine my surprise when she hopped right in my lap lol! Merryweather is actually a very friendly, wiggly gal and was loving all the attention and pets. Merryweather is also a very active dog, and is always on the go. This is the one decent picture I got out of many, many attempts lol! She just doesn't want to hold still! ;-) Merryweather already knows "sit" for a treat and would love to learn more tricks and training in her forever home. She also loves chew bones and would really love those in her forever home too. ;-)

　　Merryweather may do best as the only dog in the house at this time. She was defensive when other dogs approached her in group, but did not escalate beyond that. She has not had another dog intro since. If you have a dog at home already and want to meet Merryweather, a dog intro is required; bring them in and we can help everyone meet!
