Merle is turning ONE, and he’s never had a family of his own. He’s spent his entire life in rescue, and we’re turning his birthday into a community mission to finally get him home.

Join us for a special birthday celebration in his honor:

Date: December 13
Time: 1:00–3:00 PM
Location: Yacht Club Beverage House
118 E Main St, Youngsville, NC 27596

Enjoy an afternoon of live music, great vibes, and one very special birthday boy:

• Live band: AttticLabs

• Opener: Fortch

• Meet-and-greet with Merle

• Birthday treats and adorable photo ops

• Info on how to adopt, foster, or support

This isn’t just a party—it’s a rescue mission. We’re asking the whole community to rally for Merle.
Bring your friends, invite your family, tell your coworkers, and share the event on social media. Even if you can’t adopt, you might be the person who helps Merle’s future family find him.

Come grab a drink, enjoy the music, love on a great dog, and help us give Merle the one birthday gift he truly needs: a forever home.

About Merle

Merle is officially hiring for his forever job: Best Friend. He’s a 1-year-old neutered Aussie/collie/pitty/beagle mix who loves hiking, zoomies, and couch snuggles. He’s smart, eager to please, and needs a family who will keep up his training, give him a “job,” and enjoy an active life together. Merle can be selective with other dogs, so he’ll do best as an only dog or with calm, non-dominant dog friends who help him feel secure.

He’ll go home with training support and the tools he needs to thrive. If you’re ready for a loyal, goofy adventure buddy, Merle might be your perfect match.
