Mercedes Labrador Retriever & Border Collie Mix Cincinnati, OH

Mercedes was living in a home with younger children. Mercedes was very loving and wonderful with the younger children, but because of their size in comparison to Mercedes the children would sometimes get knocked down when Mercedes tried to play with them. Mercedes loved these little ones and very much enjoyed spending time with them, but she was never supervised and never taught by the adults in this home the boundaries of how to play with them.

Mercedes is such a happy girl and will do best in a home with older (6+) children. She is also very energetic and she will thrive in a home that offers an outlet for her energy and playfulness. Mercedes is curious of other dogs but when meeting them she'll turn and run away. She may need some confidence building in that arena.

Mercedes is already a volunteer favorite.

Mercedes' estimated birth date is December 2010. She weighs 65 lbs.
