Hi, I'm Merida! I'm Grand River's 4-year-old cutie. I'm a lab-shepherd mix with the funniest ears that stand up but aren't quite shepherd ears. Some dogs and environments make me nervous, but when I’m comfortable I'm a great girl! I know how to sit and have pretty good leash manners already, plus one of the volunteers has learned that I'm very eager-to-please and pick up tricks rather quickly. I learned "focus" in under 30 minutes where I have to watch my person for a short period of time. Treats seem to motivate me more than toys do right now and I'm very polite while taking them. I'd like a calmer environment for my new home but wouldn't mind someone who has a lot of friends coming over, I always love new human friends. With the proper introductions I can really thrive with other doggo friends my size or larger.
