Meet Morris, a mixed breed boy picked up along with his sister Missy by one of our officers and brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 9/22/2023. He is currently about 1 1/2 years old, weighs 54 pounds and is neutered. He has been at the shelter over 5 months and is hoping any day soon that someone will see what a terrific boy he is, and that he will be able to leave the shelter soon and that his time at the shelter will be a thing of the past. The most important thing to know about Morris is that he is a big love bug! He is affectionate, a lapdog wannabe, gives kisses and snuggles and is crazy about belly rubs. He loves walks and exploring the outside world, and though he does walk on a leash and is making progress, he needs additional leash training. He will sit for treats and does take them politely. He has a high energy level and will need a home in which he will be given daily playtime, exercise, and enrichment in order to fit in well with his new people. He is even open to learning new commands. Morris absolutely positively wants to live inside with his people so that he can be a cherished part of the family. A shelter volunteer who has spent time with Morris and sings his praises, has sponsored his adoption. Will you consider whether you can take this youngster into your heart and home and offer him the kind of life he deserves?
