meri

Meet Meri, a one-year-old terrier mix who zooms through life with great joy and impressive speed despite only having three legs. 

Meri broke her front leg at just four months old and had to have it amputated. But Meri is determined and resilient — she lets nothing stop her. 

Meri is as fast, if not faster, than all of her doggy friends. Her foster mom often refers to her as a torpedo. She goes up and down stairs effortlessly. Her favorite hobby is playing fetch, and she is insanely good at it. She brings the ball or frisbee back every single time. 

Bring out the hose and Meri is ready to be hosed down. She hops on her two back legs and tries to catch all the water in her mouth. It’s an easy way to give her a bath in the warm summer months. 

Meri plays hard during the day and then puts herself to bed by going in her crate around 6 p.m. every night. Meri is crate trained and fully potty trained. She’s about 45 lbs and almost fully grown. 

Meri’s ideal home would have at least one other dog, maybe more! Meri has absolutely adored other dogs since she was a tiny puppy. She loves to get in all the puppy piles and cuddle. 

Meri is the typical overly affectionate pit bull. She loves cuddling and kissing other dogs and her humans. Meri’s one flaw is she can be skeptical of humans she doesn’t know. It usually involves barking. But once she gets to know visitors on her terms, she becomes loving and affectionate towards them too. It just takes some time and patience. 

Meri has been in rescue since the day she was born in December 2024. She is truly special, but not special needs. She can do all the things any other four-legged dog could do, and her setbacks have never once dampened her joyful spirit.
