Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Merlin

Merlin is a 5-year-old crunchy corn chip baby with a heart full of magic.

We aren't quite sure if he got his name because he's wise like a wizard or if it's a play on words for his beautiful merle coat, but whichever it is, he has absolutely cast a spell on all of us.

Merlin is always down for some cuddles, especially now that he's learned snuggles are often followed by biscuits or peanut butter treats. He's affectionate, sweet, and has that soulful “old friend” kind of energy that makes you fall in love instantly.

Before coming to ELO, Merlin was brought to a police precinct after being dropped off, with no further information provided about his past. From there, he ended up at the shelter until Every Last One Rescue stepped in to give him the fresh start he deserves.

Now safe in foster care, Merlin is ready to leave his past behind and start the next chapter of his life surrounded by love

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.
