Story
I wanted to take this puppy in because they were sending all the pups of this litter to the shelter. He’s a great fun dog, he is unfortunately not getting along with my smaller dog and I’ve tried multiple ways to fix that behavior. He is honestly too big for me and the parents I was shown were not this big at all. So correcting the territorial behavior between two male dogs that he has been showing is not possible. He is right at a year old. He loves the kids that I have and get along well with them.

Story
Mercy is a gentle, sensitive girl with a heart full of love just waiting to bloom. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with a bit of patience (and treats), she quickly begins to show her true personality. Once Mercy feels comfortable, she transforms into a happy, silly pup who loves to play. She’s known to get the zoomies and will excitedly invite you to join in on the fun. One of her favorite things is squeaky toys — she especially enjoys tossing them up into the air and chasing after them. Mercy has done well with other dogs at the shelter and may really enjoy having a doggy friend in her new home to help her feel confident and keep the fun going.
