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
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.

Odin

Great Pyrenees

Male, Adult
Lima, OH
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Odin came to me with quite a few breed specific issues, mostly around his guarding instincts. He was food aggressive but through work that has been resolved for the most part. He still has issues with things being taken from him (toys, things he's not supposed to have), but is easily distracted away by a treat or being let outside to get the item from him. He picks a favorite person and will guard them from other animals, so I believe he should not be in a home with other pets, even though he's never harmed an animal, there has been confrontations with my cats and with other dogs, and the triggers seem a bit random. He is crate trained, leash trained. He can be difficult to groom, not liking his paws or legs/butt messed with. He needs an owner with patience, a strong hand at training dogs, and with time to give him guidance.

Story
I got Koda from a breeder in Michigan. She is 3/12 years old. She is a good dog but gets anxious in unknown environments. Her typical day she lays around and likes to go outside I have a fenced in back yard. She lays around and sleeps while I’m at work. She is playful and enjoys walks. She does okay in car rides but not one of her favorite things to do. I also have indoor outdoor cat that she gets along with. I would like for Koda to go to a home where she is loved and safe. She likes to play with other dogs.
