My story

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

Meet October, a Whippet, Lab/Retriever mix that was picked up by one of our officers and brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 2/8. October weighs about 40 pounds, is approx 2 1/2 years old and is spayed. She had six puppies that were rescued. She has become one of my favorites! She arrived at the shelter in rough shape--underweight, scars on her face and a scruffy coat. During her stay at the shelter she is looking healthier and has gained weight. She is friendly, affectionate, and likes to be around people and be loved on. She is high energy and has an exuberant personality. She is becoming stressed in her kennel due to having been there for over 2 months. Her dream home would include the following: At the top of the list would be to live inside with her people, receive lots of TLC and a comfy cozy bed, daily playtime, exercise, and enrichment, and with an active person or family that would stay committed to her. Oh and she walks well on a leash so would happily go for walks with her people.
