My story

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

Mercury will be 2 in February. My MIL got him from someone, probably before he was ready. She fell ill shortly after, and recently passed. He's healthy, current on shots and is neutered. We have 2 older, large male dogs, so the addition of a energetic guy has been challenging. Before coming to us, he lived with another dog and two cats, in an all female household. They were home daily while the household worked, for roughly 8 hrs. We recently started with a training to increase he knowledge which had been helpful. He is housebroken. He understands good boy, his name, no and sit, working on stay/come and relese. Mercury is affectionate and loves attention. He's able to self sooth with a hard chew toy and loves a good cuddle. He is still young so he is active and needs the opportunity to play and run. It breaks our hearts, but he needs a loving home with people that have the time and energy to meet his needs.
