Foster Dog Spot Light-Meet Mercedes
Mercedes is a very sweet little puppy girl! Her approximate date of birth is 2/10/10
Mercedes is a pure bred female Miniature Schnauzer puppy.
She was one of four puppies that were dumped at a high kill shelter because their owner had “too many dogs”. We believe Mercedes and her siblings are the result of a backyard breeder’s litter that were the “left overs”.
Sleeping Mercedes-this photo was taken at a fundraiser for MSFR where there were many dogs and people. She was mellow the entire time!
NOTE: Mercedes was diagnosed with a mild heart murmur. Ultrasound showed she has mild Pulmonary Stenosis. Dr. Michael Lesser a Cardiologist of Advanced Veterinary Care Center examined her and did an ultrasound. He determined her case was very mild and that no surgery or medical intervention was required. Dr. Lesser said it’s very likely that she’ll have a normal life expectancy without ever needing any medical intervention for her heart. But he did say she should have another ultrasound at 1 year old. For more information on Pulmonary Stenosis, click HERE.
