The adopters thought that him having a chompy mouth when they gave him treats is aggressive behavior. He also snapped at the woman when she grabbed his collar to force him outside. He gained some weight in the adopter's home which he needs to lose since he has hip displaysia and an old knee injury. Pain management is recommended as needed for the rest of his life. Merle was stressed in the shelter and luckily found himself an amazing foster home to love him until his Furever family comes along!
