A new feature on The Range: Dog of the Day! There are a lot of hounds out there who need adoption. Merry is just one them. You can find out more at Cold Wet Noses.

Here's what Merry has to say at tucsoncoldwetnoses.com:

Hi, My name is Merry. I was a stray picked up and brought to the pound where I sat for a long time and nobody adopted me. I don't know why, I am so cute AND smart AND not very big! My foster mom calls me Merry Christmas because

I lit up like a Christmas tree when I got to her house and got to play with all of the other dogs and have a yard to run around in. I weigh about 35 lbs, I'm a shiba enu mix and I am very agile and like to go on walks and runs. I am just over a year old, I think, and I get along with everyone. I am very affectionate and I'm very friendly even with people I don't know. It said on my kennel card that I can jump a fence but have never tried it here at my foster mom's though she does have a 6' fence. I would make a great buddy for another dog or a great companion for an active person. I am housebroken, spayed, up to date on my shots and microchipped.
