Merry was just another one of the thousands of little black labs that end up in shelters every year. Often over looked because there are so many, this sweet dog got a chance at life because FFN was lucky enough to have some nice applicants looking for a female black lab mix.

She got better and her foster mom could tell this was one special dog.
