Mercedes

Mercedes is approximately 2 - 3 years old, and a very sweet Poodle mix that came to our shelter as a stray. She currently weighs around 35 pounds, but is underweight. Once at a healthy weight we expect her to be around 40 - 50 pounds. Despite her being a stray, and in rough condition on intake she has a great personality, and loves to be with staff, and volunteers. Mercedes has done wonderfully for all handling by vets, and a local groomer. She can be a bit shy at first but in a matter of seconds her tail starts wagging, and she can't get close enough to the person handling her. She seems to do well with other dogs, and could potentially do well with kids, and other animals. With them being a Poodle mix they are the type of dog that will need to be groomed every 4 - 6 weeks, and regular combing/brushing at home to prevent their fur from getting matted. To get them used to grooming it is recommended that they start seeing a groomer as soon as possible to get used to the table, clippers, and bathing. We cannot guarantee that these dogs are "hypoallergenic", or "non-shedding." Mercedes adoption fee is $200 and this covers her spay, vaccinations, dewormer, heartworm testing, microchip, monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention while in our care.
