Getty-Up-Go

Able-bodied with a swagger all her own, Mercy loves to run with her friends.

Galloping until she can't gallop anymore, Mercy will head on over...

where her chariot awaits and put herself right to coziness. 

Maybe she'll start to romping again after resting a while. 

Or maybe she will simply relax and enjoy rolling on home. 

Who can say what she'll have a mind to do next.

So You Want To Be A Boxer

The Canine Heritage^® Breed Test XL is able to identify over 100 breeds.

Check out Mercy's DNA results.

Interpreting results on the Certificate of DNA Breed Analysis goes like this:

Primary: This category is intended to help owners recognize when their pet’s DNA contains a majority of a specific breed (i.e. 50% or greater). If your dog has a strong match to one of our validated breeds, then it is categorized as primary. Most mixed breed dogs will not usually have a breed in this category unless one or both of their parents are purebred.

Secondary: This category reports breeds that are easily recognizable within your dog. While these breeds may have a strong influence on your pet, each breed listed makes up less than the majority of your dog’s DNA.

In the Mix: This final category identifies breeds that have the least amount of influence on your pet’s composition, however, they still appear, at a low and measurable amount, in your pet’s DNA.

So you wanna be a boxer!

Kindliness

It does not go unnoticed, the generousity put forward in support of Mercy's wellbeing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A *Mercy* Rescue

Boxer Rescue Ontario's Director of Intake announces a new dog to come into foster care.
(September 2, 2010)
We've been contacted by a good rescue friend in Quebec and asked to take a "mercy" rescue. When you look at the pictures you'll understand why.
"Mercy" is as good a name as any for now although she didn't come with it. She was a stray and ended up at a rural pound where she had no chance for adoption. I've never seen anything quite like her. She's certainly unique! She'll be headed our way on Labour Day weekend or perhaps sooner if a ride can be arranged.  More to follow but I thought you'd like to get a look at our little monkey girl!



This is Mercy

She arrived to canine rescue as September 2010 began.  And are we ever glad she did.  A little boxer dog with more than a few big health concerns, accompanied by an extra large personality. 

Verve, rascalism, delight.  There's more. 

Mercy's story as we know it, starts right here:

With thanks to the ongoing support of Boxer Rescue Ontario, K9 Rescue Me and Rehab for Rescues, we hope and expect that the Quality of Mercy is a journey with many joyful days ahead.

 

Stay tuned!
