Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Peanut butter and jelly. Milk and cookies. Sure, each of them are fine on their own, but the magic happens when you combine the two. The same goes for Mesa and Gilbert (and we aren’t talking about the East Valley).
These two brothers have experienced a whirlwind during their short lives, including being rescued from a massive hoard of 150+ dogs living in the desert. Since their rescue, they have learned the comforts of a warm bed and a loving environment.
Mesa and Gilbert love to run around and play together, but they are also the biggest love bugs who just want to curl up in your lap. Mesa and Gilbert like the company of other dogs, but tend to keep to each other when it comes to playtime. Gilbert is confident and playful – give that boy a toy, and he is set! Mesa is working on his confidence, but warms up quickly once he knows you’re his person. Mesa much prefers cuddle time to playtime.
At just 5 years old, both boys are quick learners. Even though a home environment is new to them, they are catching on to basic commands, crate training, learning about lots of new sounds (okay, we admit, the sounds of a dishwasher and vacuum are a little scary!), and they are becoming champs at house training. With consistency and love, these boys will thrive as new additions to your home and family.
Their adoption fee includes their completed veterinary exams, neuter, vaccines, microchip and dental work. Go to lovethemALLrescue.org/gilbertandmesa to meet these sweet boys. We can pretty much guarantee they'll have you head over heels in no time!
