Meet Mercy!

At just 2.5 months old, Mercy has already overcome more than most pups her age. She and her siblings were left behind in a tub outside a church, along with a note asking for help. Thankfully, they were found and brought into our care, where they’ve been safe and loved in a foster home ever since. Their journey hasn’t been without loss—one of her sisters passed soon after they came to us—but Mercy and her two siblings have continued to grow, heal, and shine.

Mercy is a tiny bundle of joy with the cutest little stubby legs and a personality that’s impossible not to love. She’s full of playful energy, always ready to chase a toy or tumble around with her siblings, but she’s just as happy to curl up beside you for a cozy nap. She has a gentle, sweet nature and a curious mind, and she’s already starting to catch on to potty training. With a consistent routine and a little guidance, she’s going to make an amazing lifelong companion. She's good with kids, cats and other dogs.

Her breed mix? Total mystery. Her future size? Not guaranteed. But based on her current growth, we expect she’ll stay on the smaller side. What isn’t a mystery is how much love she has to give—Mercy is 100% heart.

She’s searching for a family who will love her just as she is and commit to helping her grow into the best version of herself. Puppies like Mercy don’t stay available for long—so if you’re ready for a life filled with snuggles, laughter, and unconditional love, don’t wait. Fill out an application at the link below and tell us why Mercy is your perfect match.

Mercy is will be spayed mid-May and will be ready to transport to her new family after she heals.
