Her adoption fee includes her spay surgery, microchip, and vaccines. Come meet this lovable girl and see why she’s the perfect addition to your family. 💕🏠🍬

What’s better than adopting one dog from Merced County Animal Shelter? Adopting two! Meet TweedleDee and TweedleDum — two lovable pups who found their way to us after being brought in as strays. They already know “sit” and absolutely love belly rubs! These two are bonded buddies, but they’d also be happy to find homes separately if needed. Help us find them loving homes in time to dress up for Halloween! When adopting two dogs, you also get the second dog for an adoption fee of $35 compared to $120. We promise you won’t regret adopting your new four-legged best friend (or two). 🏠🐾
