About This Dog

Merlin's ideal home

Meet Merlin, a gorgeous 14 week old Labrador Cross puppy who is enjoying time in his foster home while he waits for his forever family.

Like any young puppy, Merlin is full of curiosity and is busy discovering the world around him. He loves spending time with his foster carers, enjoying plenty of cuddles and playtime before settling down for a well-earned nap.

Merlin is still at the very beginning of his training journey, so his new family will need to be prepared to help him learn all about house training, lead walking and the other important skills he’ll need as he grows.

As a young puppy, Merlin will need someone around for most of the day initially, with any time spent home alone introduced gradually. He’s looking for a patient and loving family who can give him the guidance, consistency and affection he needs to thrive.

Could you be Merlin's perfect match?

Merlin is looking for a loving family who are ready for all the fun (and hard work!) that comes with welcoming a young puppy. He’ll need plenty of time, patience and consistency while he learns the ropes, including continuing his house training, lead walking and socialisation.

As Merlin is only three months old, he’ll need someone around for most of the day to begin with, with his time alone gradually built up as he grows in confidence. His new family should be ready to give him lots of positive experiences and help him develop into a happy, well-rounded adult dog.

Lola's ideal home This lovely lady is Lola and she is super excited to find her forever home! Lola is an excitable girl and could live with children aged 10+ as long as they are comfortable around bouncy dogs. She can be excitable around dogs so, while she could have walking buddies, Lola would prefer to be the only dog in her new home and keep all the attention to herself!
