Story
Meet Coco! She is a 1 1/2 yr old Bensenji/American Pitbull mix that weighs 56lbs. She was an owner surrender on 12/12 to the Mesquite Animal Shelter. Reason for surrender was unwanted. Coco is stunning! She has been well cared for, fur is clean and soft and does appear to be housetrained. She does walk pretty strongly on a leash, but does take treats gently. She enjoys being petted and put her hands in my lap to get close to give kisses. All the noises in the shelter does make her uncomfortable. She didn`t show any interest in the other dogs barking at her, but we do ask if you have another dog in the home to ask the shelter for a dog test. She hopes to find her final loving family that will provide her with a secured backyard to play in, but will live indoors where she can stay close to her human companions. She is a treasure! Please come meet Coco!

Story
Check out this beauty!! 🩷 This is Addison 🩷 She is a 3 year old, Besenji/Carolina Dog Mix (best guess) who weighs 38 lbs. She is a gentle soul who has overcome a difficult start in life. This beautiful girl was found abandoned with her newborn puppies. All of her puppies have now found wonderful homes and it’s now Addison’s turn to find the forever family she truly deserves. Addison is a playful, affectionate, and incredibly loving dog. She’s the kind of dog who will happily greet you with a wagging tail and a big, warm heart. She adores people and is always eager to make new friends, both human and canine. Addison gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a doggie companion, though she’s just as content as the only pet if that’s what you’re looking for. Not only is Addison sweet and playful, but she’s also incredibly well-mannered and potty trained, making her a great addition to any home. Whether it’s running around the yard for a game of fetch or curling up on the couch for a cuddle session, Addison is always ready to share love and joy with those around her. Addison's resilience and loving nature are truly inspiring. After all she’s been through, she’s still ready to trust and give her heart to a new family. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet, and playful companion to brighten your home, Addison would love nothing more than to be by your side. She’s ready to start the next chapter of her life, and with the right family, she’ll make it a chapter filled with love, laughter, and happiness. Could Addison be the perfect addition to your home?

Story
Peppermint is enjoying her foster home, though she was shy at first. She loves snuggling her foster sisters and running around the yard! She's the perfect cuddle buddy. She's potty trained, crate trained, and ready to be adopted what a better way to start your year than with those cute ears and cute nose! Litter of puppies dumped in remote area. We were able to save 4 unfortunately 2 didnt make it. So sad barely weeks old trying to fend for themselves, while not even old enough to be away from mom. Thanks to kind people to stop and save them, and kind people to foster and nurse back to health in hopes we find them a happily ever after. All Dallas Dog adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon finalizing adoption. Puppies adopted under the age of five months require a spay/neuter contract, and all dogs are required to be spayed by six months unless otherwise medically noted. Our dogs are currently on heartworm preventative. Puppies receive 3 to 4 rounds of vaccinations depending on their age, and adults receive two rounds unless they've been with us longer than a year, in which case they receive the booster update. You can complete an application or view all the adoptable pets on our website at www.dallasdog.org/adopt. Upon receiving your application, please allow us 2-3 business days to review and process.

Story
I named this handsome fellow Spirit because he`s definitely a free spirit. He was brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/4 as a stray. Spirit is approx 2 years old and weighs 65 pounds. Though listed as a Husky, when checking with my Dog Scanner app I note that he is listed as having Akita and Korean Jindo Dog in his breed mix with perhaps some Canaan Dog thrown in for good measure. Spirit is a spunky high energy dog that can be a bit restless. It was raining outside so I brought him in inside to do his eval. He made it clear by whining and pacing that he did not like the confined space so i took him back outside where he was more cooperative. Spirit walks well on a leash. He may be house trained as he did his business outside. He knows the sit command, loves treats and takes them quite nicely. He is playful and loves quaky toys. He is friendly and has a pleasant nature. Spirit is ok with being petted but he is a fellow who has places to go, people to see and things to do so you have to catch him between all those activities to give him some loving.

Story
This is a very gentle loving dog that’s main wish right now is to be in a warm, loving home. Gus is a two year old 47 pound Shiba Inu/Australian kelpie mix that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/3. He came in as a stray. You might notice he does have a white flex in his right eye. This only adds to his uniqueness. When he got out in the yard he casually strolled around taking his time. When I offered him a treat to get him to sit, he backed up wanting to please but didn’t seem to know what I was asking of him. When I sat down, he came to me and put his head on my lap.He enjoyed having his ears scratched. He’s very well mannered, sweet, calm, and easy-going. He’s very affectionate! He did his business in the yard and walked OK on a leash. He definitely wants to be an inside dog. He does not have the temperament to be an outside dog.
