Welcome To

Mercy Animal Hospital

Our mission is to provide quality veterinary care at an affordable price in a caring and beautiful environment.

Our History

In 2002 Doctors Charles Jones and Dawn Jones wanted to practice veterinary medicine in a loving, family based environment that focused on superb healthcare for all animals. This led them to open Mercy Animal Hospital and since its beginnings it has grown into a renowned practice for all areas of healthcare for animals. In 2013 Mercy Animal Hospital moved to its current site on Sardis Church Road. Our new building was built with the intentions of easy access to animals, adequate room for surgical procedures, open-air feel for employees and clients as well as immaculate kennels for our boarding animals.

We recently learned that Save This Life microchip registration database has gone out of business. The microchips are UNIVERSAL Chips and there are no quality or safety concerns with the physical chip itself. Since these chips are UNIVERSAL, it is advised that pet owners register with the alternative databases. https://www.freepetchipregistry.com/ - This is a FREE database that is connected to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) universal pet microchip lookup tool. There are other paid subscription options available that you could research online.
