A second chapter
Retirement Dogs
At Mercy Lane Dogs, our dogs are family. We raise each one with love and care and when their breeding career is complete, usually around 4–5 years of age, we joyfully retire them into forever homes, where they can soak up years of undivided attention. Our retired dogs are healthy, well-mannered, crate trained, and accustomed to family life, including children and other pets. Retiring them is about giving one of our beloved dogs the gift of a second chapter filled with love, adventure, and cuddles. Every adoption is handled with care, and we match each dog to the perfect family to ensure a smooth, happy transition. We also love to stay in touch with our doggies in that second chapter of life! If you are interested in talking with us about a retired dog, please reach out. We'd love to meet you.
Havanese
Jill
Jill is a Havanese, and is registered with the AKC. She is one of the first dogs our family ever owned. Our son Jack named her Jill. He loves her, and we do, too. When people visit us and meet Jill, they always ask what breed she is because they find her demeanor so enjoyable. She never barks, and is agreeable with lots of dogs and others. We could see her with a couple who is older and wants to skip the puppy phase to just love on a delightful dog—- and who doesn’t mind caring for her beautiful coat. She has loved Jack almost exclusively and nothing pleased her more than being with him. She is very affectionate. She is crate trained and house trained. She loves a good treat, and has been an exceptional mother. We will miss her very much.
Jill is set to retire in 2027.
Jill weighs 12lbs., stands at 8" tall.
