About Mercy

Mercy is a nearly two-year-old Border Collie and Great Pyrenees mix who sets the bar for gentle companions. Her foster mom says she’s impressively docile, sweet-natured, and happiest curled up beside her people, soaking up all the affection she can. She adores kids, gets along with babies, cats, and other dogs, and knows basic commands like Come, Off, Kennel, and Sit—she’s working on Stay and Leave It. Mercy is calm indoors and out, walks politely on a leash, and has great recall. She isn’t bothered by storms or loud noises and tolerates baths and grooming well, with just a nudge to step into the tub. She warms up after a shy start, relaxing into her steady, affectionate self. Physical contact is her love language, and she’s most content simply being part of a family’s daily life, whether playing fetch or lounging on the couch. Mercy is fully vetted, spayed, and ready for her forever home. She’s in Arlington, TX, and as a Gemini, you can expect a mix of playfulness and intelligence. Your new best friend is just one click away.
