A long wait for a perfect match

Mercedes first walked through our doors here at Woodford Humane on January 21st, 2009 - exactly two years ago. This adorable brindle and white girl came to us with her sister, Queenie, as an energetic one-year-old with a constantly-wagging tail, a big heart, and a thirst for adventure! Queenie and so many other dogs have found their Forever Homes since January 21st, 2009, but Mercedes is still waiting patiently for her perfect match to walk through the kennel door.

She may be 2 years older now, but the description still fits her to a tee: Mercedes is always so excited to see her favorite volunteers and go out for a long walk, and she's always willing to share her heart with a new friend! We form special bonds with every pet that finds its way through our doors, but Mercedes truly has a special place in all of our hearts. She's a beautiful, vivacious dog who has so much to offer, and we don't want to see her wait here any longer! It's a wonderful testament to the staff and the mission of Woodford Humane that we can keep a dog like Mercedes happy and healthy for years on end, but we know that nothing beats a real home.

Mercedes is the perfect fit for an active home; she loves to play in the yard and go for long walks or jogs, and we're sure she would be a great hiking companion. All the hard stuff is done: Mercedes is already house trained and knows basic commands! She would be happiest in a single-pet home where she can hog all the attention of her loving parents and cuddle to her heart's content.

Please help us give Mercedes the life she deserves: Share her story with your family and friends! We don't want Mercedes to celebrate another anniversary here at Woodford Humane; instead, we want her to be celebrating each and every day in her Forever Home.
