Taz is in foster care! His foster wrote a bio describing him: Taz is part cuddle-bug and part energizer bunny. Some of his favorite things are playing fetch, going on walks (or runs!), getting belly rubs, and cuddling with his humans. He has bursts of high energy but also enjoys long naps in sunspots. He would do well as an only dog! He also likes playing with other small dogs, but he can play hard and rough and has a tendency to steal toys and beds, so that would need to be managed. Taz is super affectionate. He wants to love and be loved and craves lots of attention. He will stay close to your side and remind you if you forget to pet him.

Get ready to meet Gizmo, a 2-year-old FUN BOY who is one seriously cool dude! This handsome guy is possibly a Husky/German Shepherd mix (our best guess!), and he’s ready to find a family to call his own. At 40 lbs he's a great size! Gizmo came to a shelter after his previous owners welcomed a new puppy and decided that three dogs were just too many. Now, this awesome boy is hoping someone will give him the second chance he deserves! Gizmo has lived with other dogs and kids, so he has some experience being part of a family! We’re not sure how he feels about cats just yet, so that would be something to explore.This fun-loving dude has so much life ahead of him, and all he needs is someone willing to give him a chance. Could Gizmo be the missing piece to your family?

Introducing Otto, the perfect pup! Weighing in at just 20 pounds and about 5 years old, Otto is looking for a home that is active, fun and loves to play. He is great with male and female adults, all aged kids, all sized dogs, and even cats. Otto is crate trained, house trained, and has learned how to be a snuggly indoor beagle boy, with no bad habits. Otto did not have the best start in life, so he looks a little older than he is, but he has plenty of spunk and loves to go hard, (but then go home to nap!!). Otto’s only requirement is for a person/family that will give him lots of attention and stuffies. This boy cherishes his toys!

Meet TJ! This 8 month old cattle dog mix is just as sweet as he can be. He's a regular at Camp Merricks and has never caused one bit of trouble. He loves to play and does great with other dogs. He was recently at the Overland Expo event at Oak Ridge Estate and met people nicely, without jumping. When he was tired, he went right to the crate available to him and took a nap. TJ is crate trained and does well on a leash, but needs a little practice. He is learning good manners and is eager to learn more. Sweet, gentle personality Knows “sit” Takes treats nicely Very dog-friendly and loves having canine buddiesTJ is a happy go lucky boy that's a great size to go anywhere with you. At only 41 lbs. he's capable, willing, friendly, and ready to Go! Come meet TJ today.

Meet Dollar! He's a ten month old boy who has spent the majority of his short life in the shelter system. He's been really fortunate to first have been in the Amherst shelter with their kind folks and three times a week visits to Camp Merricks to play, and now waiting with us for his forever family to find him! Dollar is good with other dogs and enjoys playing. He has suffered some shelter stress that resulted in him chewing his tail. He's getting better and his tail is healing. Dollar is a pretty chill guy. He is gentle and sweet. He can be a little timid in new situations, but warms up with the a bit of encouragement and patience.

This pretty girl is Tia! She lived with three other dogs. When all four dogs got out and brought to Amherst Animal Control, their owner surrendered all but one, understanding four dogs was just too much. We snatched Tia up when we had some empty rooms so we could help them with their overcrowded shelter. Tia has a beautiful black & white coat and a distinguished blue eye making her easy to identify. Tia walks nicely on a leash and was wonderful when she recently attended the Overland Expo event at Oak Ridge Estate. She is learning basic commands, but still has some learning to do. Tia is only 1 year old & has plenty of time to learn new commands to be the best dog she can be in her future.

Meet Abby! She's the sweetest House Hippo you will ever come across. Abby is a BIG girl at 87 lbs. but she is so sweet. She has spent a lot of time at Camp Merricks and has never been a problem in any of the play groups she has been in. She was a momma dog for a long time, and she's now very happy to never have puppies again. Abby LOVES water. She will roll around and splash in tubs and small pools... just like a hippo! What Abby REALLY wants is to be inside, on the couch, snoozing or spending time with you. Even when she is at Camp, she is always looking for an opportunity to go inside.

Meet Jaxson — the quintessential man’s best friend.
Jaxson is looking for a human who needs him just as much as he needs them.
This boy loves with his entire soul. He’ll tuck his head between your neck and shoulder, lean in with every ounce of his being, and stay there as long as you’ll let him. There’s nothing in the world he loves more than a good snuggle. And thank goodness, because his snuggles are downright therapeutic.
Jaxson is a petite 45-pound, 6-year-old guy with a calm, easygoing personality. But every now and then, the sillies come out. He’ll roll onto his back, chomp at the air, and make the most ridiculous little gremlin noises.
His favorite things include snuggling, going for walks, chewing on bones, riding in the car, meeting people, snuggling, and, of course, more snuggling.
He absolutely adores children and has been wonderfully gentle with them.
Jaxson is a confident guy who is well-behaved in the house.

Paige was surrendered to the local animal shelter when her owner was no longer able to care for her. She is the mama to our puppies Macaroni, Casserole and Butter Bean. Paige is currently going through heartworm treatment and will be healthy, fully up to date on vaccinations and microchipped so she can find her forever home veryt soon. Paige is amazingly sweet and loves to be around people. Here is what we know so far:> great with all people, young/old, man/woman> does get along well with other dogs> does do well with cats> loves toys and some good zoomies around the house and yard> loves car rides / is a great passenger> no problems with bath or nail trims> she does well on the leash and doesn't pull hard but will need some more training to stop zick-zacking in front of your feet> couch cuddles? yes please!Paige does entertain herself well with a couple toys so we think a home with our without dogs, either one is fine.

Panda is a Great Pyrenees/Pointer mix (we are guessing!) weighing around 80 pounds. He is stressed in the shelter environment and doesn’t show well in his kennel, so anyone interested in meeting him should plan to meet him outdoors.Panda walks very well on a leash and does not pull. He also enjoys having his belly rubbed! He can play roughly with other dogs, so he may do best with a dog who is comfortable with a more rowdy play style. A proper introduction would be important.Panda is having a hard time adjusting to shelter life, and we hope to find him a home where he can settle in and show more of his personality. If you’re interested in meeting Panda, please ask to spend some time with him outside!
