Story
Kevin is a 3 year old Pom/Shihpoo mix. He only weighs 10.7 lbs but needs to gain a pound or two since he was so thin when he came in. Kevin is a sweet little guy that likes to run and play with the other dogs. He will run straight to his crate for a treat. Kevin loves to sit on your lap and get attention. He’s been great with the kids. Kevin hasn't reacted to the cat at all. He is doing well on housetraining but his foster mom keeps an eye on him. Kevin has been vet checked, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is on heartworm/flea prevention. If you'd like to adopt Kevin, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.aplmercer.com. Adoption fee is $350

Details

Story
We adopted Lacy from a shelter in July 2025 - they thought she was about a year and full grown, some sort of beagle mix. She was much smaller and a little shy, and shadowed our senior dog wherever she went. When she went to get spayed and shots, the vet said she was not a year and was going to get much larger (and oh boy, they were right). We ended up getting a dna test done on her and she is half Treeing Walker Coonhound and half Great Pyrenees.As Lacy has grown, she has become an out-going, loving, high-energy giant. She adores people and attention, loves chewies and toys, goes crazy for the dog park to play with other dogs.Lacy is looking for an indoor home where she can get lots of love, lots of chewies, and have a human to cuddle with. She will also need lots of walks, running, sniffing, and playing to give all that energy a positive outlet

If you're looking for a loyal companion with a heart full of love, Katie is ready to meet you! This sweet Boxer mix has the most irresistible sad puppy eyes that will melt your heart in an instant but don't let that expression fool you, because she's full of love, happiness, and affection. Katie enjoys going for walks and has wonderful leash manners, making her the perfect partner for neighborhood strolls or outdoor adventures. When she's not exploring, she's happiest soaking up attention from her favorite people, playing with her toys, or patiently waiting for a tasty snack (or two!). Katie is spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, so she's ready to head straight into her forever home. All she needs now is a family to love her as much as she'll love them.The shelter can be reached at 937-498-7201 to schedule a time to meet. Or please feel free to come in during business hours. The shelter is open Monday-Friday 9-5 and Saturday 9am-1pm. Open kennel hours are Monday-Friday 12-4 and Saturday by appointment. Our email is shelbycountyanimalshelter@yahoo.com
