About this Dog
Courtesy post for Alpha Dog Pet Rescue. Please contact [email protected] for more information and an adoption application. MEET MERLIN...A Gentle Soul Ready for a New Beginning Merlin's story began with heartbreak....abused and abandoned by the very people who were supposed to love him. He ended up in a stressful shelter, confused and afraid. But now, this sweet boy is safe, healing, and looking for the second chance he so deeply deserves. Merlin is a 2-year-old, 14 pound small-breed mix, likely a Terrier with a dash of Miniature Greyhound with long, elegant legs and a graceful little frame. He has been neutered, dog door trained, and has the most calming presence. Quiet and gentle, Merlin comes up to say hello and then melts into the affection that you offer. This little boy is loving, sweet, and happiest curled up on your lap, soaking in pets, hugs, and quiet time. Though he gets along well with other dogs, his heart belongs to people and he prefers to be close to his human family. Just a bit shy at first, but once he trusts you, his gentle, inquisitive nature shines through. Merlin is looking for a calm, patient home where he can continue to blossom and feel safe. In return, he will give you quiet companionship, unconditional love, and a reminder of how powerful kindness can be. Come meet Merlin. He is ready to love and be loved forever this time. If you would like to apply to meet Merlin, please email [email protected] AND ASK FOR OUR APPLICATION. Merlin must be met and picked up at his Foster home near Victorville CA

Adopt Merlin and Receive Merlin's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Merlin's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Merlin's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Merlin, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Merlin's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Merlin was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Merlin’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Merlin’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Merlin’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
