My personality

My story

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

🎭 “A DOG BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD BE AS SWEET…” 🎭
ENTER: MERCUTIO
Thou noble stray, discovered upon the eleventh day of March in the year 2025. Estimated age? A modest six winters, though his lively spirit declares otherwise.

Behold, Mercutio—a gallant and affectionate gentleman whose heart o’erflows with joy. Though he doth appear a stately size, he considers himself a lapdog of great renown and shall perch upon thee like a feathered bard with nary a care. 🐶💕

His tail wags with sonnets. His kisses, sweet as honeyed prose. His company? A comedy, a romance, and a tragedy not to adopt him—all in one act.

💉 Health:
✅ Neutered
✅ Heartworm & Lyme negative
✅ Current on his rabies vaccine
🏆 Fit to join the royal court (or a comfy couch near thee)

📍 Now residing at the Richland County Dog Shelter, Mansfield, OH

"Parting is such sweet sorrow," said Juliet.
But adopting Mercutio?
That, dear friend, is the happiest ending of all. 🐾❤️ndcountyoh.gov
