Mercedes - Labrador Retriever and Cattle Dog Dog for Adoption in Goleta, California

Hello! My name is Mercedes, and I'm available for adoption at Santa Barbara Humane's Santa Maria Campus! I am a 3 month old cattle dog/retriever mix waiting for my new friend!

Like all animals at Santa Barbara Humane, before going home I will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped . My adoption also includes a complimentary post-adoption health exam with a participating local veterinary clinic as well as a supply of Hill's Science Diet food to help make my first few days at home a little easier.

If you're ready to welcome me or another animal into your family, stop by during adoption hours-daily from 12:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., except Wednesdays. No appointment or advance notice is r equired!

Need to pick up a few essentials before heading home? Visit the retail center at either Santa Barbara Humane campus, where you'll find toys, treats, collars, leashes, and more at competitive prices.
