This sweet girl was found on the side of 355 near Lockport/Homer Glen. We are affectionately calling her Mercy until we find her home. She is currently at the Mokena emergency vet clinic. She has broken leg that most likely needs to be amputated. She had collars on with no tags and she is not chipped. She looks to be a Shepard/Blue Healer mix. Help Mercy get back on her feet and back home to her family! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has donated and prayed on behalf of Mercy who I found a few weeks ago. As you may have seen posted on PAWS Tinley Park Stray Animals, she is now ready for adoption and we will be bringing all the money that has been raised (over $6000 so far!) to P.A.W.S. Tinley Park this Saturday. We are really close to our goal of $7500 for Mercy and P.A.W.S.! If you feel inclined to contribute to Mercy’s medical expenses or P.A.W.S. Tinley Park, the link will be live until tomorrow. Thanks again!

Update: We received word that Mercy is still recovering but she’s improving every day. She has a long road ahead but is on the right track to learning her new normal! This wouldn’t be possible without you all. Thank you! We will keep updating when we hear word.

From PAWS Tinley Park:
We’ve been getting a lot of people asking for an update on the dog found critically injured on I355 after the 4th of July, so here’s an update on Mercy!
This Shepherd/Cattle dog was found on the side of the road after suffering trauma leaving her leg nearly off. A Good Samaritan brought her to the Mokena ER where we took over her care and veterinary bill. She was transferred to Midwest Animal Hospital where their staff stayed late to give her the emergency care she needed. Mercy needed an immediate leg amputation to survive the day, and luckily Dr.Lukas at Midwest rushed her to surgery and saved her life. We are so grateful for the wonderful team at Midwest who always goes above and beyond for the animals!
Now Mercy is healing and can stand up again! She has a long road to recovery and will still need to heal before she’s available for adoption. We have not found Mercy’s family, but we are hopeful someone is looking for her.

Update:
Mercy is currently in her recovery process from having her leg amputated a couple days ago. We got word this morning that she still has a long road of recovery ahead, but is overall in good spirits and on the right path. Thank you all for the support for Mercy!

UPDATE:
Mercy was brought in for surgery and did need to have the leg amputated and she's resting now. The leg was pretty limp when my husband was getting her situated in the car so I would guess that was the only option.
This is all the information we have so far but as we continue to get more updates we will keep people informed.
At this point, we are unsure what her clear path to health will look like.
I hope she has another chance at life and can make a special pet for someone or a family.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far! We are still working towards our goal to give money to P.A.W.S. Tinley Park to help them offset her medical expenses. You can also donate to them directly.
God Bless!
