Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 1-year-old Mercy.

Here is Baypath’s description of Mercy:

“Looking for a joyful companion for hikes, neighborhood walks and cozy nights in? Mercy is the perfect match! This sweet, affectionate girl has a heart as big as her smile.

“Mercy is playful and full of life, making her an ideal buddy for outdoor adventures. She loves to chase small balls and enjoys interactive play, but she’s just as happy to cuddle up and relax once the fun is over. Whether it’s fetching a toy or lounging on the couch, Mercy is always up for quality time with her favorite people. She’s great with other dogs, cats and children.

“Ready to bring love and a little adventure into your life? Mercy is waiting for you!

“Adopt Mercy during our #ClearTheShelters campaign and get 50% off her adoption fee, plus a gift basket, cozy bed and Pedigree Success Kit!”
