Adoptable Dog of the Week: Meet Mercedes!

Mercedes is a two-year-old, spayed, brown Chihuahua. Mercedes came to the shelter with her puppies shortly after they were born. She and her pups were surrendered by their owner to our Humane officers to better care for their needs. Mercedes is a sweet little dog and she has been a great mother to her puppies.  She’s protected and nurtured them, and now it’s time for her to start the next chapter of her life. Mercedes loves to cuddle up in your lap and can be very playful. She doesn’t mind other dogs at all and seems to like men and women. If you are looking for a little sweetheart, come by and meet Mercedes.
 
Included with every dog adoption will be the first DHLPP shot of the series, a rabies vaccine, a medical exam good for up to three days from participating veterinarians, implanting an identification microchip (registration extra), spay or neuter surgery, if necessary, as well as a collar, ID tag, and a leash. For dog adoptions, a yard check will be performed prior to adoption. In addition to adequate fencing and shelter, those wishing to adopt a pet must provide either proof of ownership of the residence or a rental agreement for that address indicating that pets are allowed. If you are interested in learning more about adoptions, please contact the Humane Society of Ventura County at (805)646-6505.
