About Mercedes

Meet Mercedes, a delightful puppy overflowing with love and charm! At just 12 weeks old, she greets everyone like a long-lost friend—her infectious joy is hard to resist. This curious little girl has a wonderful temperament and never meets a stranger. She thrives in company, whether with adults, kids, or other dogs. Her 18-month-old Blue Heeler foster sister, Ouray, is kept on her toes during their playtime, and Mercedes is adored by the neighbor's young daughters who have become her biggest fans. Smart and food-motivated, Mercedes makes training enjoyable. She's already mastering commands like 'sit,' 'come,' and 'down,' especially when treats are involved. Her foster family is pleased with her potty training progress—she even uses the dog door independently! While she’s still perfecting the timing for outside potty breaks, a little encouragement goes a long way. Mercedes will flourish in a loving home that appreciates her playful spirit and encourages her growth. If you're ready for a loyal companion filled with affection and a bright future of adventures, Mercedes is excited to share her heart with you! Mercedes is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations, and she’s currently being fostered in Milwaukie, Oregon. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
