Im so happy that humans will alway be here for animals
“If I get parole I’m gonna have to immediately reoffend cause I am only comfortable on the inside.”
Merrick needs lots of time to acclamate. Sudden change is hard. Take good care of him.
Glad shelter did not give up on the dog 😢😊.
You are wonderful ❤️🐶
Special boy.
My heart just literally split open for this boy.
God bless those people
He seems very sweet and loveable. Why did it take so long to find him a forever home?
Ay shout out to the shelter for taking such good care of him for five years. Sometimes shelters euthanize when the dog isn’t adopted at a certain age.
god bless you and your family.
Good fit! Great!
dogs are containers of love. Thank you for taking care of him and letting him show you his love.
He is amazing boy ! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰 you lucky people to have him. Really ! 💁🏻♀️🇺🇸💝🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏼🏚🤣🏚🙏🏼🏚🙏🏼🏚🙏🏼💝🌿🎄
So happy. Can’t not believe he have to wait so long !! 😰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
So strange that billboard didn't touch anyone's heart 💔
Jesus is the only way humbly ask him he will answer you
I feel like some of the puzzle is missing. This dog appears lovely. Makes zero sense that he spent so many years in a shelter. While I'm all for heartwarming animal stories, there has to be more to the story than is shared here……
BRILLIANT
thank u
Grateful that he was in a shelter that does not destroy the animals after 'x' amount of time. It's a complete mystery to me why he spent five years there with such a calm, sweet disposition. Wishing this fur baby all the love, kindness and belly rubs he can handle in this new, and more than deserved, chapter. Thank you, sir, for adopting him.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I’m crying right now I’m sohhhhh happy for this beautiful dog enjoy merrick and your amazing new daddy ❤️❤️🙏🏻💫✨and THANK you for the rescue looking after you for five years 🙏🏻👏🏻
Nothing more is so precious than the smile on his face and the joy he is sharing in his new home..kudos to the Dad who welcomed him to his lovely house..God bless all those souls who cares for animals beyond limitations..
He is so loving GOD BLESS YOU GUYS
Blessings to the family that adopted him. This was only 5 minutes of his new life , it’s going to take way longer for him to adjust and the family to have patience with him. No dog should live that long in a shelter, their mental health is damaged after 1 year.
Love you people!
Such a lovable dog. Can't understand why he wasn't adopted for 5 years So happy he has his forever home now.
He was so excited abnd I'm excited fir him. Tears of happiness for him. Thank God for the Humane Society and their nokill shelter. This beautiful dog deserves a forever home and a chance to be a pet.
🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Lovely 🌹
This made me tear up
Poor Merrick, having to wait that long for a forever home. 😢 Thank you to the shelter for giving him a safe place to live for all those years. 😊😇 Thank you to the man who adopted him. He's an Angel.👼👼 I think Merrick has found a wonderful forever home.😀 Bless him and Bless the man who adopted him.🙏👏🐕🐶💖💝💗💓💞
Shelter dogs are the best. Glad he got a home!!!
Blessings!
It’s unbelievable that beautiful and wonderful doggie had to wait so long to get his forever home. If I was anywhere near KC, I would’ve snatched him up long ago. Big thanks to the shelter staff for keeping him safe and loved 👍
This just made my Christmas
Yay Merrick!!! Its your time buddy.
Aww so glad he's finally adopted. Bless you guys you are amazing. God bless
They received a very special dog who will be ever so kind and loyal to them. That is a great Christmas video.
This dog spent 1/3 of his life in the shelter. I’m so glad they didn’t give up on him
A big shout out to Merrick’s parents for adopting him!❤️❤️❤️❤️ And thank you to the shelter for taking such good care of him! Merry Christmas and happy New Year!🎅🧑🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️🍾
The answer is fairly simple…. find a person who actually knows how to train a dog and offer them something to take this dog. It happened with me for 2 dogs, but the hard part is finding a person who actually knows how to train a dog and took classes. Nearly NO dog owner ever takes all of even 1 basic class… see?
What a wonderful story!!! It’s so sad it took so long for him to find his forever home. Thank the lord he finally his!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 he’s such a good boy!!! I wish him nothing but the absolute best treats, belly rubs, toys, and most importantly love for the rest of his live!!! All animals deserve to have a LOVING CARING and KIND home FOREVER!!!!
So beautiful Merrick. Remind me of my dog Maverick!😘
Awh love him he is so sweet n deserves the best home, thx for giving him a life. Merry Christmas buddy you deserve all l I ve in the world, kisses n hugs
I love merrick and his dad. Thank you and God bless you!
