My name is Pluto!

Pluto will keep you entertained with his antics and his inquisitiveness! He is a 9-10 month old Greek Harehound/Shepherd mix that weighs 60 pounds and came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/21 as a stray. He is definitely unique in his appearance. He’s sort of goofy in a good way. He’s very playful. When he was out in the yard, he saw me going in and came running. He’s alert and investigated everything in the yard and in the meet and greet room. He found toys and entertained himself with them. He didn’t appear to know the sit command or any other commands. At one point he was whining, and I’m assuming he was missing his owners. He’s friendly, active, and very outgoing. He required some coaxing initially to get him to walk on a leash. However, he did fine when I went to take him back to his kennel. He was not interested in meeting dogs in the bay. Because he occasionally jumps on you and he’s a big boy, he would not do well with young children until he learns some manners. He would do well with an active family. He’s too big for an apartment and would need a yard to get out and expend some energy in. He does want to be an inside dog so he can enjoy time with his new family.
