Decked out in their St. Patrick’s Day finery are brother Joey and his sister, Mercy.  They are eight-month-old, wire hair Terrier/Fox Terrier-mix puppies. Mercy’s coat color is light tan and white; Joey’s coat is white and black with some brown spots.  Both dogs are sweet, smart, attentive, friendly, lovable and loving; both weigh twenty pounds.

Also available but not photographed is Tanna, a two-year-old, Beagle-mix, female dog. Beagles have merry personalities and that describes her, as well as, friendly, a people lover and smart. Tanna’s coat is beautifully marked in red and white and her face is sweet and attentive.

All three dogs were found in Belhaven and they are ready and waiting to be adopted to new forever homes.
