Chief's Story

Meet Chief <br/><br/>Chief is one of those dogs who keeps you laughing, keeps you moving, and keeps surprising you with just how smart he is. <br/><br/>He already knows sit, down, stay, shake, ball, crate, and yes, even NO! He loves car rides, squeaky toys, chasing his ball, hanging out with his people, and pretending he is a 60-pound lap dog.<br/><br/>Chief is incredibly intelligent and truly enjoys learning. He recently spent a week at Dog World’s doggie boot camp beginning September 14, where he worked on manners, confidence, and building even more skills. He made great progress and would love a family who will keep that momentum going.<br/><br/>Like a lot of smart, energetic dogs, Chief does best with structure, consistency, and someone who enjoys being involved with their dog. He can get a little overexcited during play and is still building confidence in situations that make him unsure, but he is eager to please and responds well to guidance.<br/><br/>Chief is fully vetted, on all preventatives, and ready for his forever home. His adoption fee is $300.<br/><br/>He’s smart, silly, affectionate, loyal, and full of personality. Chief is looking for someone who wants a fun best friend and is excited to keep helping him shine.

Mercy Rescue and Adoption's Adoption Policy
Adoption Process: If you are interested in adopting one of our pets, please complete an application. Application can be found at http://www.mercyrescueandadoption.com/adopt-a-pet.html. Completing an application does not hold the pet for you. A visit can be arranged to meet the prospective pet after an application is on file. A home-visit will be required. We check personal references and vet references prior to all adoptions. All of our animals are spayed/neutered before they are adopted. Approval of any application is at the discretion of the Animal Shelter volunteers, and will be made in the interests of finding the best permanent home for our animals. You must be at least 18 years old to adopt a pet. No animal will be adopted to persons that have a confirmed history of neglect or abuse of animals. No animal will be adopted to persons that have a repeat history of losing, giving away, selling, or having animals injured or killed. Only dogs that are physically and temperamentally suited to living outdoors will be adopted as outside dogs. Dogs that are adopted as outside pets must have a fenced or an adequately sized enclosed area to live in and suitable shelter.
