FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Meril is a charming pup who needs a home. He's spent time in foster care and at the Fredericksburg SPCA shelter, but now he's ready for a forever home.

"Meril loves nothing more than spending time with other dogs and playing with his toys," the Fredericksburg SPCA told Patch. "He has a great time with his friends both in his foster home and at the Fred SPCA shelter."
