Merritt II was being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than visual impairment or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community.
After careful consideration, Merritt was released from the Puppy Raising Program. Unfortunately, Merritt’s urogenitial issues makes him unsuitable for a career as a working dog. He will hopefully be settling into a new home shortly as a pampered pet. We hope that he enjoys the pet life! Thanks to everyone who had a part in Merritt’s journey. All the best to you, Merritt!
