Caroline is home.

She spent the last two months in heartworm treatment — strict rest, short hand walks, no running, no playing. That’s a lot of quiet time to get to know a dog.

Turns out her foster family knows her pretty well by now. Well enough to keep her. Her foster family adopted her, and she’ll be living on a horse farm just outside Memphis.

Some of you will remember when Caroline first came to us last June — she’d been shot, and the damage means she can’t wag her tail anymore. She’s been through more than any dog should, and now she gets to come home for good.

And a big thank you to her advocate patron, who covered all of her medical bills. Caroline says thank you too! 💗

Where are all these Great Pyrenees coming from? 💔

My old horse trainer, McKrell, texted me last night. A friend of hers found a Great Pyrenees on her porch the morning after Halloween — hurt, blood on his head, covered in fleas, and way too thin. Could we help?
The friend fed him and he ate the whole bowl. She cleaned him up, and she’s been calling him Buddy. Even hurt, he’s been nothing but sweet with her.
She’s fostering him short-term until we can find him a place to stay. Our vet can see him this afternoon if we can raise the funds for his care. Anything helps, even a dollar.
Link is below if you can help, and please share if you can’t.

We’ll keep you updated on him.

Captain Patrick Hook, reporting for Halloween 🏴‍☠️

Patrick was born in Tennessee and now lives in Chicago with his family, who adopted him from us. This year he sent us a note along with his photo: “Tis the pirate’s life for me. Love, Captain Patrick Hook.” He’s taking his duties very seriously.

Now we want to see yours. Share your dog’s costume photos in the comments. Pirates, superheroes, hot dogs, whatever they put up with long enough for one picture.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Mercer Animal Rescue! 🎃

Archie’s Big Makeover ✂️

Archie is the newest dog to join us, and this fluffy boy is at the groomer. We don’t think he’s ever been groomed. We’ve been finding sticks and leaves in his fur! Under all of it is a very sweet boy.

We named him Archie because he reminded us of an Archie we had years ago. Same sweet personality.

Stay tuned. We’ll post a video of the new Archie tomorrow!

Fig’s Big Day

Fig is an itty bitty Yorkie who had a not-so-little surgery yesterday. One of his testicles never dropped, so the vet had to go into his abdomen to retrieve it. That meant two incisions instead of one, which is a much bigger deal than a regular neuter, especially for a guy his size.

He’s on antibiotics and pain meds and doing OK. Physically, he’s in bed. Mentally, he’s three mai tais deep on a beach in Maui.

Fig’s surgery happened because of the generous animal lovers who donated for him. Thank you. 💛

Please send him some good thoughts as he heals.
