Story
Manchas is a four-year-old 60 pound Catahoula Leopard dog that was surrendered to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 4/18. His original owners had rehomed him. He was then found as a stray. The shelter called the original microchip owners. They are working out of town and can no longer care for this big boy! He was surrendered through no fault of his own. He's a good boy...obviously capable of deep love. He is also well trained. He knows to sit command and offers his paw. I can't say he did it for treats though because he didn't like my treats! He chased balls but did not retrieve them. He had a strong pull to get out in the yard. As soon as he got out of the yard, he did his business. He's very active, exuberant, playful, well mannered, and friendly. He comes when you call him, and he tries to get up on your lap--all 60 pounds of him. He will need a big yard to romp in, but will also enjoy going for a run with his new owners. Then the rest the time he'd like to spend chilling with his new family.

Story
Meet Echo! He is a 2yr old neutered male American Pitbull mix that weighs 49lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 7/27 as a stray. Echo was a stray at the shelter in 2022 originally, and he was so excited when he was adopted on 5/23 of this year. Yet two months later he is back at the shelter and his owners did not reclaim him. Echo is an active energetic pup that loves to run through the shelter yard chasing balls. Yet he found his favorite place while out in the yard....the toy box! He will jump right in, sort through all the toys to find just the right one. He will entertain himself with the toys and is always a joy to watch. Echo is a very active boy that would love to have an active lifestyle with his own loving family. He does jump when he is excited so continued training would be best. Chasing balls/toys are great, but taking him for a jog, long walks or a hike, he would so enjoy that. He is a very playful and fun loving boy, so having a secured backyard would be great! He loves everyone he meets. He knows the sit command, walks well on a leash, yet can pull with excitement at times, and takes treats gently. He walks past all the other dogs barking at him in the shelter, so if there will be another dog in the home, please ask the shelter for a dog test. He is a happy boy that loves to be petted and loved on too! If you are looking for a running/walking partner Echo is your guy! Come meet him!

Story
Meet Pippa, a mixed breed youngster that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/23/2023 and therefore has been a shelter resident for 4+ months. She communicated to me that she is ready to move on with her life! She weighs 43 pounds and is about 14 months old. Pippa is spayed. My Dog Scanner app indicates she is a mixed breed with perhaps Thai Ridgeback and Canaan Dog in the mix. This is one turbo- charged youngster! During her time at the shelter, she has not gotten outside much, and so when she is in the yard she lets loose and thoroughly enjoys the freedom of being able to run and play and stretch those legs of hers! She walks ok on a leash. She enjoyed going up and down, up and down on the play equipment in the yard. She does jump on you and this is a behavior that needs to be corrected. She loves treats and takes them politely. She is friendly and a-OK with receiving loving attention. She would require daily exercise, playtime and enrichment, and is willing to learn some commands. She has no desire to live outside as a backyard dog. Does this sound like a dog you could take into your heart and home?

Story
Meet Bernard! He is a 3yr old neutered male American Pitbull Terrier/Dutch Shepherd mix that weighs 62lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/17/2023 as a stray. This is one very special guy! He doesn't like being in his kennel and that is completely understandable. Once he is out, his entire disposition changes and you feel it as he walks calmly next to you with his tail held high. Not only is he very handsome, but he has a sweet, easy going personality, and always will flash you a smile. He is a very sweet, easy going boy that is affectionate and loving. He is well mannered, gentle and will put his head in your lap for pets. Walking past other dogs he did not show any interest, but we do always ask if there is another dog in the home please ask the shelter for a dog test. Bernard would make a great family companion. Having his own secured backyard to play in, but back inside where it is cool, to be close to his human companions is his dream. Can you help him make his dream come true? Come meet this great boy!

Story
Meet unforgettable Tess! She's a lively, high-spirited American Pit Bull that arriveed as a stray at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/29. Yes, that makes 4 1/2 months that she's been a shelter resident.. She has watched other dogs rescued, adopted or reclaimed and yet as wonderful as she is, she remains. Tess weighs about 50 pounds, is approx 2 years old and is spayed. She was absolutely delighted when I took her from her kennel to the yard. She walks ok on a leash but was anxious to get out so did pull. She pottied in the yard. She has a habit of doing zoomies in the yard--back and forth, back and forth--just thrilled to be stretching her legs and running. She has spunk, energy, a playful nature, and you could say she is an on-the-go kind of gal. The warmth of the summer Texas afternoon caused her to slow down and begin the investigation process of checking out all the smells, looking out the gate and placing her paws on the ledge in order to see what was going on in the outside world. She sits for treats and takes them politely. Tess needs an active family or person that will give her daily playtime, exercise and enrichment. She is more than willing to learn some commands and even to take obedience classes. She's sure she would be at the top of her class!

Story
Meet Gabe! He is a 2 yr old neutered male American Staffordshire/Tosa mix that weighs 57lbs. He came in as a stray on 2/9 to the Mesquite Animal Shelter.  He is such a handsome boy and definitely knows how to pose for a picture! Gabe has a very gentle soul. He walks well on a leash and enjoys taking his time walking through the shelter yard. He can be shy at first if around many people he does not know. The more time he spends with you, the more confident he becomes. He takes treats gently, enjoys being petted and may be house trained too. He enjoyed climbing on the play equipment and stood at the top with his head up enjoying all the smells. He enjoys chasing balls but does not return them. He is so ready to find his own loving home with a secured backyard he can enjoy, but then live indoors where he enjoys the company of his human companions. Walking past other dogs barking at him he did not have a response, but we do always ask if you have another dog in the home, to please ask the shelter for a dog test. Please help by networking him or send a rescue tag to rescues@cityofmesquite.comwith the subject line TAG 55249467. Any further questions, please email or call972.216.6283.
