Mercy

Mercy is a beautiful 9-month-old puppy who is very shy, but who loves other dogs.

She will need a patient owner who will help her come out of her shell. Mercy is probably a Black Mouth Cur, which is not a very nice name for a very nice breed. These dogs are very smart dogs who bond closely with their owners. They are also sensitive dogs, and they need a good amount of exercise and attention.

Mercy will need a home with no children under 14 due to her shyness.

Mercy is spayed, microchipped, tested for heart worm, and vaccinated. She is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go to the Tahoe animal shelter’s Facebook page to see photos and descriptions of all pets at the shelter.

Call 530.573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
