My story

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

Hi I'm Mercury and I'm so excited to meet you that I'm probably jumping up and screaming at you right now! Forgive the barking, I'm just really excited you're here and I'm actually a pretty calm and somewhat timid dude when you take me out to play. I absolutely love to play with other pups that match my energy and I've been to several events with my volunteer friends! If you have any questions or are potentially interested in bringing me home, let a member of staff know please and I hope to see you again real soon!
