Mercedes is being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than visual impairment or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community. Β 

In February, 2023, Mercedes took the next step in her journey and entered Advanced Training where she’ll learn the skills needed to support her future partner.

It truly takes a village to raise a puppy, and you can be part of Mercedes’ village and receive monthly updates about her β€” donations raised through this page support the care and training of healthy, happy puppies. Help support Mercedes today.
