Mercy is 7 years old and weighs 22 lbs. She is a very shy little girl. She will need a home committed to working with her and bringing her out of her shell while not expecting too much from her. She was rescued from a puppy mill and was not socialized as a puppy. She is fearful of storms, loud noises and overactivity. She is crate trained and house broken. No children under12 years old, fenced yard is a must. Mercy would do best with an older person/couple. She is very quiet and reliable in her house manners. *******Update 6-15-04******* Mercy is quickly becoming the wonderful companion I knew she would be. She seeks affection, love and play. She does very well with all types of people and now seems to have the confidence she would need to go into an only dog home. She prefers a home that will allow her to learn to trust on her terms and within her time frame. What a wonderful sheer joy to have around. Her adoption fee is $200
