About this Dog
Merlot was adopted in 2022 from Houston, Texas. She was born Feb. 5,2021. Merlot is a very good girl and has been a beloved family dog for almost 4 years now. It breaks our hearts that we have to rehome her. Unfortunately, she needs to be in a single dog household. We have three other dogs and over the years she keeps attacking the other dogs. She has food aggression as well. We have taken her to extensive dog training and while it helped in the short term, she still has her moments of aggression. We recently were blessed with two babies and while Merlot has never been anything but loving towards our children, we fear they might accidentally get hurt if they get caught between the dogs if a fight breaks out or if they try to get close to her when food is around. She has growled at us if we try to take certain items, like bones, away and with our sons getting bigger and more mobile we just don't feel safe keeping her any longer. We love her and wish it didn't have to come to this.

Adopt Merlot and Receive Merlot's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Merlot's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Merlot receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Merlot, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Merlot's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Merlot was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Merlot’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Merlot’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Merlot’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
