Meet Meryl! She is a sweet girl who is currently looking for love. She arrived at the shelter after being picked up by an Animal Control Officer. She was skinny, missing a few teeth and she had an abrasion on her front left leg. We found out very quickly that she is Hyperthyroid and she will require medication for the rest of her life. She is regulated on her medication and doing very well. Meryl is hoping for a fresh start, a home to call her own, a window to get a bit of sunshine through and a bed to cuddle up in. She is up to date on vaccinations, weighs in at 7.4 pounds, is estimated to be about 10+ year young, spayed, micro-chipped and FELV/FIV negative. Come meet this beautiful girl.
