Mercury's love for people is as boundless as the universe, and with a slow and patient introduction, he transforms into a true lovebug. His expressive eyes and wagging tail tell the story of a pup eager to connect and create a bond that lasts a lifetime.

Story
I'm a lotta Girl, 75 pounds &#194&#151 who wants (and gives) a lotta love. Sadly, my owner died and left me an orphan, but his long-time rescue friend took me in. Breed?: Yellow Lab neck down, and Pittie neck up. I have the Lab 'love water' (love to swim!) and 'sniff everywhere' in me. I am TOTALLY a respectful house guest. I don't get into anything I shouldn't. I love the dog door access to the yard, and don't ever try to escape. And, I am fine home alone. But I sure enjoy my people being around too. Walk in fit in! Pretty well adjusted if I say so myself. Please have a king size bed because I like to sleep with my person. But if you want me to stay on my bed, I will do your bidding. No problem. Oh, I like to sing with fire engine sirens. You can join in! I like to play with my squeaky toy &#194&#151 or go on short walks (45 min- 1 hour): on trails or downtown! I walk/trot on a leash &#194&#151 at varying speeds (per my Mom's pace). I have learned to live compatibly with the resident kitty. My Mom trains me well. : > )). Not so good with other dogs though. I prefer my home to be an 'only dog' home. And my Mom makes sure I don't get into trouble when out and about. She has rules about good manners (and avoidance). I have congenital stuff going on but I have learned to compensate really well. Mom thinks I am triple jointed!!! : > ))) And the glucosamine MSM etc, good diet, and exercise with my foster Mom, has really strengthened me up and I have no pain. Geez, been managing fine for 5 years, but better now - living the good life. You will be surprised when you see how I can move!! : > )) &#194&#151 and maybe you will learn something about resilience -- and compensating that works!! And gotta love my underbite smile, and black mascara! Beguiling! I love to tour in the car -- but would appreciate a low riding float boat. My ride used to be a Dodge Charger: I am COOL. Please give me a chance to charm you! Contact is my foster Mom, Robyn, in Carson City. She will only adopt to local folks and likes to speak with you on the phone, go over your application, and do home visit to see where I would live. She also asks for a donation to WARF &#194&#151 they do such great things for us needy pups. Thank you for reading about me, come meet me! 775-240-5142 phone/text.
