About Mercedes
Mercedes is ready to find her forever home! This gentle soul may be a bit shy, but she is looking for a family that can offer patience and plenty of love. After caring for her puppies, it’s time for Mercedes to experience some tender care herself. In her foster home, she quickly settled in, even choosing to make herself comfortable on the couch after initially opting for her kennel. She loves spending time outside, showcasing her joyful zoomies, and will play bow to encourage you to join her in some fun. While she is timid around fast movements, she’s learning that not everything is scary. Mercedes has done well with cats, showing no aggression and is more curious than anything else. With treats as her motivator, she’s eager to learn and walks well on a leash. While she's friendly with some dogs, her ideal home would be calm and supportive, helping her bloom. Her foster shared how she transformed from a skittish pup into a playful and affectionate companion, thriving on warm neck scratches and gentle walks. Though she gets anxious when alone, consistent crate training could help her flourish. Mercedes simply needs time, love, and a cozy spot for her naps to become the loyal friend she’s meant to be. Can your home provide the care and love Mercedes needs? If you’re ready to offer her the supportive environment she deserves, come meet her at High Country Humane in Flagstaff, AZ!
