Neutered Male
5 months old
8lbs
Breed Guess: Terrier/Poodle Mix
Mercury is such a resilient little guy with a super big heart. He was terribly neglected as a tiny puppy, and found himself all alone at a super scary animal control as just a baby. He cowered and trembled in the corner, not allowing anyone near him. When we saw him, we knew a precious, loving dog was waiting inside, just needing to feel safe and loved. With just a little patience, some roasted chicken, and loads of snuggles, Mercury discovered very quickly that people are actually awesome and he was SAFE! He quickly transformed into the most cuddly, affectionate, loving little man who adores being held, giving kisses, and bestowing his charming smile on the luckiest of people! We couldn't adore him more! He's great with people and other animals, and will grow up to be a small-to-mid-sized adult.
