About

Beverly Mercer began her rescue, Mercer Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, in 2011. Since then, she (and an amazingly dedicated team of volunteers) has rescued over 1500 dogs. All of these homeless dogs come from several high-kill shelters throughout the Memphis, Tennessee area. The rescue dogs are pulled from the shelters, sometimes within minutes of being euthanized. These fabulous dogs are evaluated, rehabilitated, fed, given great medical attention and most importantly, shown love. The ultimate goal is to find loyal and loving adoptive families for them – simply put: a furever home. Ms. Mercer would love to be reached for comment, but she most likely will not be able to hear you over the din of barking dogs. Woof!
