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.

Story
Tillie is a 3 year old Wire-haired Jack Russell Terrier that we rescued from the Mercer County pound. She is 16 lbs and a small girl. She is housetrained and well mannered. Tillie won't walk on a leash, so we are requiring a fenced in yard for her since it makes her the most comfortable. She is very loving and sweet. Tillie loves belly rubs and attention. She would love a forever home. Tillie has been vet checked, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and is on heartworm/flea prevention. If you'd like to adopt Tillie, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.aplmercer.com. Adoption fee is $200

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
Harley and her mother were abandoned with a friend of my aunt who couldn't take care of them long term. We took Harley not understanding how active she would be. We have two other dogs that she gets along with well. However, she needs a more active household. She is very loving and cuddly. She likes to jump, climb and chew. She does not like to share her toys.

Story
This is a sad posting because we want to keep him, but we need to rehome due to allergies issues with a new baby. Stu is our given name after rescuing him from the shelter in 2019 (Franklin County) where his original name was Tyler, but now he only answers to Stu/Stuber, etc. Stu is approx 7 years old, no known birth date as he was surrendered by his previous owner in 2019. Stu has been fed almost exclusively Blue Buffalo and occasional cooked meat from dinner. He has had anxiety around most men and new faces since we adopted him. We have worked on several commands and redirection with him, but there is still some anxiety when people enter the house until he knows who it is, usually barking sometimes whimpering. Stu is excellent at staying near his owner off leash and will never bolt or run away. His favorite toys are tough rope and stuffed animals and he prefers to sleep in his kennel/dog carrier with a blanket over it. We would love to find a safe and patient new owner for him.
