MERCY

Mercy is a big baby. She loves to cuddle & lounge around. She loves fetch, swimming & exploring. Her coat is very thick & fluffy. She is up to date on vaccines, wormer, and flea & tick treatment. Mercy does not let anything bother her. She is so completely unfazed by anything unless her people need something. She loves attention and lounging around. We walk on and off leash and she always does amazing. Very good recall. She LOVES water. She is a bit vocal when she is excited and whines to get your attention some times. She does know a few tricks and is house and kennel trained. She is good with meeting new dogs and does so very confidently like she doesn't even know they are there. She is also good with people. We have older children and she has never had any issues with them but she has never been around little kids so not sure about that however Mercy is just all about love regardless of who is loving her.

**LIVING HER BEST RETIRED LIFE AS A FAMILY DOG NEAR ARLINGTON, VA** Unfortunately we were never able to successfully tie. We did some vetting, but Mercy would sit & was very grumpy towards her suitors. For these reasons, she was retired early.

Some of our Aussies will stay here forever, but some will need a loving home someday. Our dogs are our children; We LOVE them with all our hearts; We are VERY particular as to who our dogs go to, so much in fact you must be within driving distance of me in case it doesn’t work out we will jump in my car in a moment's notice to pick up our dog. If you are interested in a retired dog please know that we will require you to personally come to our home to spend a few hours with us and the dog (or potentially vice versa). If we feel it’s not a good fit we will issue a Refund of Principle & Deposit payments IMMEDIATELY. Our dogs are VERY special and deserve to go to loving homes where they will be spoiled and shown affection daily because they already have that here, but we want them to have more individual love than we can provide with our program. If we feel you and the dog would be a good fit please know that we WILL be emotional and we ask that you truly understand that we love my dogs and hope that you will stay in contact with us from time to time. Just because we are rehoming does not mean for one second that we will stop loving or thinking about them.

If you are interested in adopting one of my retirees, please feel free to apply. & let us know you are considering an adult & we will reach out when we are considering one to rehome so you can come meet them (even several times) & make sure its a good match. We try to post our adults in advance (typically 6 months or so) so we can have a long time to evaluate potential placements to give everyone time to consider. We do charge an adoption fee based on the individual dog, and do require you to sign a legal document that you will give the dog back to us should it not work out. Sometimes we offer discounts on Adult dogs to prior Silverside Aussies owners & even deeper discounts to Owners who own a puppy from that dog 😉 All adults come up to date on vaccines, groomed, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.
