Meet Mercy (34kg)!  When this lovely girl first came into our care, she was extremely scared and completely shut down.  It has taken time, patience and a lot of reassurance, but she has slowly started to come out of her shell, and we are so pleased with the progress she has made.  With people she knows and trusts, she is a very sweet, affectionate and playful girl.  She enjoys attention and loves having fun.  Seeing her personality beginning to shine through has been incredibly rewarding.  However, she is still very unsure and nervous around new people, and this is something her new family will need to understand and be prepared to work on.  She will need someone who can continue building her confidence at her own pace, using patience, consistency and positive experiences to help her feel safe and secure.  She is also very strong on the lead, so her new owner must be physically capable of handling a strong dog and have previous experience with large breed dogs.  An experienced owner who understands nervous dogs and is willing to put the time into her training and confidence-building is essential.  She isn’t the dog for a first time dog owner, but for the right person, we believe she has the potential to form an incredibly special bond.  She needs someone who will give her the time she deserves. never rush her, and allow her confidence to grow at her own pace.  This girl has already come such a long way.  Now she needs that special person willing to continue the journey with her.  She will need a private secure garden.

Mercy has interacted with other dogs whilst in our care, she can be playful with some and very unsure around others, so we feel she would be best rehomed as the only dog in the home where she can get 100% of the attention.

No cats for Mercy.

As Mercy came into the home as a stray, we have no previous history on her, so would prefer any children/visiting children to be 16+ years.

Please only apply for Mercy if you have the experience and commitment she will need.

*Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.
