About Mercy

Meet Mercy, a beautiful young girl who's ready to find her forever home after spending months caring for her puppies. At about a year old, she brings a gentle, affectionate spirit to the table. Mercy adores being close to people and thrives on attention. Whether she’s snuggling on the sofa or going for walks, she cherishes every moment spent with her loved ones. Her journey started in a warehouse where she selflessly cared for her six newborn pups. Now that all but one have found their forever homes, it's Mercy's turn to be someone's beloved companion. This sweet girl does well with children but wouldn't thrive in a home with cats. Mercy seeks a cozy home with a comfortable sofa, enjoyable walks, and plenty of affection. After all she has given to her babies, she deserves a happily ever after.
