Story
My name is Ozzy. I am a smart, playful, sensitive and loving 1 year old. I was a stray/lost and was found by a neighbor. I love to play tug-of-war or shake with my stuffed animals. I’m good at sharing my toys. I need chew toys too. I like to wrestle. I stand up and use my paws like my 9 year old Boxer brother taught me. I play ball. I like to go on walks. I love to run and can do very fast zoomies off the leash. I do still pull a little on my leash but am learning. I haven’t got the jumping thing down yet. I get so excited when everyone comes home or I meet someone new. I love to sleep snuggled up to my person under the covers so I hope you don’t mind if I sleep with you or snuggle on the couch with you. I have a kennel too. My mom has an illness and we had to move in with her son who has dogs and cats. I get along fine with all the big dogs but am not getting along with the cats. My mom is very sad she must give me up and I will be sad to leave her. I need a special loving family.

Story
Roscoe birthday is on December 25, Christmas Day. He's a very sweet and loving dog with a great personality. I'm not sure how he does with other animals because he's just been around his dad at this point, but the older Roscoe is getting, him and his dad try to be dominant with each other. Other than that, he is really the sweetest dog. He does get nervous and timid and will bark at strangers but once he's been petted, he is completely fine and will try to lick the face. He does very well with my kids on a normal basis. He helps me wake them up in the morning for school and he loves to run around and play wrestle with them. He was a chewer as a puppy but is way better now he is house trained. **Adoption fee includes 1st shots, vet visits, and deworming. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org

Story
Benny is an oh so darn cute pup born around April of 2023. We think he is a Pitt/Border Collie mix. Look at those markings! He has black and white complete with speckles. Such a striking looking boy! We love the way one eye has a black patch and the other has a white. He's the ying and yang of dogs. Benny is a nice size, 40 lbs. He's muscular and well formed, a healthy boy. He has a playful attitude and likes other dogs. He has good dog skills and not a mean bone in his body. He's happy go lucky and always ready for some fun. His favorite playmate is a Husky who has his energy level and strength. He lives with older, smaller dogs too and is fine to leave them alone when they don't want to play. Benny lives at a pet hotel and meets new dogs regularly. We can see the Border Collie in Benny in the focused way he chases his toys. He gets low to the ground with intense focus to retrieve the toy. He is ecstatic when gets the toy and brings it back to his foster mom. He prances around the yard with utter joy and satisfaction. His toy motivation allows his foster mom to exercise him properly without having to run a marathon. His foster mom is no spring chicken; jogging is out of the question for her. Benny is very athletic and strong. He needs an experienced owner who enforces rules with consistency and kindness. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. We don't recommend Benny to a family with small children; he is too strong and too much of a puppy still. While Benny is excellent in his crate and has never had an accident, he would not be happy in a home where he spends the better part of a day in his crate. He needs activity, both mind and body. Benny came to us with zero manners! He was dumped on a windy country road after the local shelter explained to his owner that they didn't have room for him. It's clear that his human was heartless and didn't spend any time with Benny teaching him to be a good boy. That's alright, his foster mom is teaching him how to live in the human world. Fortunately, Benny is eager to learn and eager to please. This is going to be a stellar boy. Benny learns quickly and already knows the following: sit, wait, toy, go night night, off, AH-AH, watch me, ok. Here are the Pros and Cons of Benny in a nut shell: Pros: Good disposition, happy boy Loves to fetch, play with toys (learning to drop it) Smart Eager to please Eager to learn Loves people and other dogs Crate trained-never had an accident Energetic Loving Very healthy Low shed NO smell (like the Mr Clean Magic Eraser- dirt on paws become clean without bathing! Like magic!) Cons: Puppy brain Doesn't know how strong he is Mouthy Doesn't understand the human world- yet Loves to chew Easily excited **Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org

Story
Six-year-old neutered male. He is a Pit mix. He is a very intelligent dog and has a very strong will. He likes to be alpha with other dogs, but after a flash of growling and snarling he usually settles into rambunctious play with other dogs. So, he is dog selective. He demands lots of attention and affection and will crawl on your lap and snuggle for long periods of time. He is underfoot most of the day. He likes to play tug of war and destroying cardboard boxes with you. He is a very powerful dog, so I do not recommend him for older people or very small females. As you can see from his pictures, he is strikingly handsome and always gets lots of attention when we take him out in public. Maverick is a family dog. he needs lots of human attention. We walk Maverick 2-5 miles every day. He gets rather pent up without his walks. Maverick has Terrier characteristics and has a very high prey drive. Groundhogs, moles, rats, mice are his favorite. If you have a large garden or farm and have problems with groundhogs, then Maverick is your man. He is absolutely fixated on groundhogs. Unfortunately, he will also kill cats. Maverick can become very territorial and aggressive. Do NOT give him a bone or rawhide chew toy. He turns into Cujo. He has never bitten anyone. He's very good with small children who will grab him by the face and ears and in fact, he loves to wrestle and rough house. We are moving back to Florida and unfortunately feel we cannot take him to a city type environment. It saddens us because he is part of our family, and we love him so so much. Maverick is a lot of work, but his huge personality and charisma. Make it very worth it. **Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org

This sweet dog showed up at our house last week. She is super sweet, just does not get along with other dogs. She is great with all people and kids. She was malnourished and you can tell she has had puppies before. We are unable to keep her because we have 2 other dogs, that do not get along with other dogs.
