My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Candy! She is a 2 yr old spayed female Boxer/Pitbull mix that weighs 42lbs. She came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/17 as a stray. She is a cute little girl but does not understand why she is at the shelter. She is a bit shy at first but does warm up. Candy loves to sit close, cuddle and get tummy rubs. It appears she may have lived inside and been housetrained. And she has told me having a loving happy home where she lives inside, having her own fluffy dog bed, and receiving lots of petting, is exactly what she dreams of. She walks well on a leash and takes treats gently. All of the other dogs barking does make her a bit uneasy, yet she showed no aggression to them. We always do ask if there will be another dog in the home to please ask the shelter for a dog test. She is very gentle, kind and loving and her name says exactly who she is. Come spend time with Candy.
