Neglected guard dog escapes from chains to start the search for a loving new home

Merlin had spent his entire life chained to a tree, used only as a guard dog and denied the care and affection every pet deserves.

From the time he was a puppy until adulthood, the Belgian Shepherd mix lived outdoors, tethered and lonely, his sole purpose to protect his owner’s property. 
 
But after years of neglect, Merlin could endure it no longer. He pulled and strained at his chain until, at last, he managed to break free.
Transform your pet into a work of art!
Give it a try!

Weak, hungry and frightened

He was eventually found wandering the streets, weak, hungry and frightened. The heavy chain he had dragged with him had cut so deeply into his neck that it had become embedded in his skin.

Rescuers took Merlin into their shelter, where he was treated for his wounds and showered with kindness. Despite his suffering, he proved to be gentle, affectionate and eager to trust people again.

Only one wish

Now fully recovered, Merlin has just one wish: to finally find the loving forever family he has been searching for.

Now Merlin desires only one thing, the thing he has been fighting so hard for. A loving forever family.
