Story
Looking for a better home for our boy Finn. We got.hime from a family member who did not treat him well in hopes to give him a better home. Unfortunately, with our kids and work lives we don't have the time to spend with him that we thought we would. He is very energetic and like his toys. He is mostly potty trained but still have had a few accidents. Can sit, lay down, shake, and will go to crate on command most times. Does decent on a leash, but will get a little unruly occasionally. Can answer more questions upon request. We are hoping someone will have the time and love to give him a good home!

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 now think she is a coonhound mix.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.But she gets very stressed out by our senior dog's severe anxiety.Lacy is looking for an indoor home where she can relax, play, get lots of love, lots of chewies, and have a human to cuddle with.

Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bean is a 5 year old Chihuahua and weights 13.5 lbs. One of his owners passed away and the other elderly owner had to go into a care home. The conditions he came out of were not good and his skin has been healing. Bean is a sweet little dog who loves to sit next to you and follow you around. He is not completely housetrained and will need some training, although his foster mom is working with him on it. He gets along with other dogs and has a lot of personality. Bean walks good on a leash but is used to a fenced in yard. Bean has been vet checked, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and given heartworm/flea prevention. He also had some teeth pulled during surgery. If you'd like to adopt Bean, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.aplmercer.com. Adoption fee is $250

Story
Kenna is very sweet, but she is on the shy side. She takes a little bit to get used to you, but when she warms up, she is an amazing dog. She does good on leash and going outside to potty. She does good with other dogs when introduced properly, and she would do best with older kids. She loves being outside and she would love an adopter that can be patient with her.
