Tell us a little something about your dog (what they mean to you, your favorite thing about them, what they have taught you, or their rescue story)
Mercy is more than just my dog—she’s my baby, my best friend, and the light that walked into my life when I needed it most. She found me at a time when I felt lost, and somehow, without saying a word, she helped me begin to heal.

From her soft little snores when she naps beside me, to the way her tail thumps when I walk through the door, Mercy makes even the smallest moments feel magical. She has this perfect blend of goofy charm and gentle soul. Whether she’s chasing her favorite toy or curling up quietly next to me, she reminds me that love is simple, pure, and present.

Mercy never judges. She doesn’t care if I’ve had a bad day or if I’m still in pajamas at 2 p.m.—to her, I’m always enough. Her loyalty is unshakable, her love is unconditional, and her companionship has become a steady source of comfort and joy in my life.

She’s taught me patience, reminded me to slow down, and helped me appreciate life’s little blessings. She brings me back to myself when I feel overwhelmed and gives me a reason to laugh every single day.

To most, she’s “just a dog.” But to me, she’s everything. She didn’t just become part of my life—she transformed it.

Mercy didn’t just save me. She made me whole.

And for that, I’ll love her forever.
