Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mercury - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life!
Mercury here, that's right, as in, Freddie Mercury!! The legendary lead singer of the rock band, Queens. Whoa, that's a big name to live up to, but I'm up for that challenge! I already got part of it, I am a pretty handsome boy with a gorgeous shiny sleek coat.
I was found at my young age of only 11 months as a stray. I was "Living On My Own" but was lucky enough to end up in a rescue where my belly is full and I'm getting to know what it's like to get lots of lovins. "It's A Hard Life", nope, nope that's not right, not anymore. I'm hoping to be living the easy life in a loving home where I will always have that sense of being safe and loved.
I'm about fully grown and shouldn't get much bigger then my current 26lbs. I'm still a youngster yet, full of life and ready for any and all adventures you can think up. I would do best in a home where my person(s) worked from home and I could be included in your everyday going ons.
I'm at that sponge stage where I soak up...everything! Perfect for doing some obedience training or some fun classes like agility. I'm also big enough for any of those adventures from neighborhood strolls to hiking/camping, But, get this, I'm small enough that I won't hog the whole couch. Now if you ask me, that sounds like the best win win for the both of us!! And to top if off, I'm house and crate trained!!
My short sleek coat makes me low maintenance in the grooming department, more of a wash-n-go type of fella. And you DO know what that means don't you?! Oh my, yep yep, lots of extra time in the 'spoil me rotten' department. My favoritest time, you and me time!!
Inquisitive and playful, sweet and cuddly, I've got a boatload of great qualities going on to make me a great family addition. I just don't have the family part yet...could you be my family?!!
It'll be "A Kind Of Magic" having "Somebody To Love" and I hope that since you're reading this, it could be with YOU!!
I am just waiting for you to be the "Love Of My Life". Will you fill out my adoption application...Please?!!
