We have named this delightful fellow Pony Boy. Dog scanner app suggests he has Bulldog and some Mastiff mixes in his breed. He arrived on 1/11 at the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray. He was found along the side of a road sitting next to a sibling, family pet or traveling companion that was dead. Unknown how long he had stayed next to the deceased dog, but it seems to show a sense of loyalty. Pony Boy weighs 64 pounds (appears under weight with ribs showing), and is approx two years old. He thoroughly enjoyed his time in the yard during the photo shoot. He is quite playful and very good at fetching. Pony Boy loves treats, and seems both treat and food motivated, and therefore might be quite easy to teach some commands as he doesn't seem to know any. He's a friendly boy who is happy to receive petting from a human companion. He does have a very strong pull on the leash and leash training would seem a good idea for him. This would appear to be a dog well suited for a person or family willing to invest some time in daily exercise, play, enrichment and teaching commands. Can you please help this deserving boy find his very own special forever home
