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!
