Story
Hi, my name is Ruckus, I was dumped at the Highland Armory/Highland Recreation Center during really bad storms and rain for 4 days. The sweet family who rescued me was told I’m a pitbull/lab mix. I am just over a year old, and they were told my birthday is 04/26/2023! At my previous home, I used to live with three other dogs, but they would beat me up and bully me, so I’m a little timid about new dogs. Though I do love people, big or small, I love them all. I love to give kisses and cuddle up with you every chance I get, I’m not the best in a kennel as I get lonely and have separation anxiety. My rescue family tried introducing me to their dogs, but I’m still scared and growl when I see them, so it’s best I’m the only pet in your home! I have shown that I’m teachable and love to do tricks for treats! I am house trained and have not had an accident at all with my rescue family. I’ve shown my rescue dad that I can sit, give paw, lay down, tug on toys, and even play fetch. (though I’m still figuring out that I need to give it back) I have been to the vet and have had all of my shots, I just need a couple of boosters! I have been tested and do not have any intestinal parasites or heart worms. I have started taking Simparica Trio to keep me from getting heartworm, fleas, ticks, or other intestinal parasites. I’d love to find my foster or furever home. Especially if my rescue family can stay in contact with me! Adoption fee $175 Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org

Story
Meet Homer 🤍Some dogs carry their story in their eyes, and Homer is one of them.Homer came to us with what we believe were seven members of his family, all of them abandoned on the side of a rural road with no one coming back for them. At first, he was unsure and quiet — leaning on the only comfort he had left: the other dogs who survived alongside him.But even in those first frightened days, there was a softness in him. A hope.Homer is about 3 years old, a Lab mix with a tender, thoughtful soul.With time, patience, and gentle hands, he has begun to bloom here.And now?He’s walking beautifully on a leash, confidently exploring the world he once thought was too big and too scary.He has also learned that toys can be fun, especially when shared.Most importantly — he’s learned that people can be safe.Homer has formed deep bonds with his shelter family. He leans in for affection. He watches for familiar faces. He trusts us — and that trust is something we cherish deeply.But as much as he loves us, he deserves more.He deserves to belong to someone, not just someplace.Homer is ready for a forever home — one that will let him continue to grow, learn, and love at his own gentle pace. He doesn’t need much. Just patience, kindness, and someone who understands how special that moment is when a once-lost dog finally knows he’s home.Puppies 6 months and under are typically $200 and dogs from 7 months to 6 years are typically $100.00. The adoption fee may be higher or lower than stated however, and is dependent on many factors including age, behavior, medical condition and demand. All dogs 7 years and older are free under our Saving Seniors program. We frequently run discount specials and occasionally a dog will be more than the stated fee.Most cats and kittens are $35.00, however there may be instances in which the fee is higher or lower, due to age, behavior, medical condition or demand. With felines, we always have an "Adopt one, bring another one home for free" adoption special!

Story
Beamer’s story is one that breaks your heart before it warms it. She was found dumped like trash on a rural backroad, left to fend for herself alongside seven other dogs we believe to be her family. Her body told the story clearly: she had been bred litter after litter after litter, used and used again, and then discarded once she was no longer “useful.”When she first arrived, Beamer didn’t know anything about the world a dog should know.Beds. Toys. Treats. Soft voices.All of it was unfamiliar and terrifying. She had spent her whole life just trying to survive and protect her babies.But slowly—and beautifully—she has begun to trust.With patience, consistency, and reassurance from our caring kennel team, Beamer is starting to bloom. At about 40 pounds, she looks like a petite “mini” Lab/Shar Pei mix, and her gentle eyes say everything. She now steps forward for affection, she’s learning that a leash means walks instead of danger, and she’s discovering that human hands can be soft, kind, and safe. She has gotten a glimpse of what love feels like… but she deserves forever, not just “for now.”Beamer is also healing physically. She has demodectic mange, which may sound concerning, but it’s not.What is Demodex?Demodectic mange is caused by a microscopic mite that ALL dogs naturally carry. When a dog’s immune system is weakened—especially from neglect, stress, overbreeding, and malnutrition—those mites can overgrow and cause hair loss and skin irritation. It is NOT contagious to other pets or people, and with the medical care she is already receiving, she is healing beautifully.Beamer has spent her entire life giving everything she had to her babies.Now, it is her turn to be cared for.She needs a family who will move at her pace, show her patience and gentleness, and commit to loving her for the rest of her life. Not out of sympathy—but because she is truly deserving of a love that is safe, consistent, and forever.If you’ve ever wanted to truly change a life, this is your chance!💜Puppies 6 months and under are typically $200 and dogs from 7 months to 6 years are typically $100.00.

She’s great with other dogs, though she can be a little shy at first when meeting new friends. Don’t worry — she warms up quickly and has never shown a bit of aggression. She’s just a sweet, submissive soul who wants to be loved.She’s 100% house-trained, knows her basic commands (“sit,” “stay”, “down”) and currently uses a dog door.
