Psst… night owl. Hi. Merlot here.

I'm a sleek Manchester Terrier who knows exactly what I want—a home where I can charm everyone I meet and maybe steal the occasional couch spot.

The notes mention I love a busy family. The more the merrier, honestly.

I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and the occasional zoomie) saved up for the right person.

Born and (almost) raised right here in Huntley.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Labor Day — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.

Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Merlot
