Merida - Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Durham, North Carolina

I’m trying to be brave like Merida in the movie but it can be hard sometimes! I might take a little time to warm up, so please go slow with me at first. Giving me treats helps a lot because that tells me you're a friend! I also love when people use baby talk to make me feel more comfortable. I like to crawl in your lap and walking close to you so I feel reassured. And once I know you a little better, I'll give you lots of wiggles!! I'd benefit from continued confidence building, gentle affection, and positive experiences. Come visit me today!

Kids:
10+, may be worried at first

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
