Meet Gabe! He is a 2 yr old neutered male American Staffordshire/Tosa mix that weighs 57lbs. He came in as a stray on 2/9 to the Mesquite Animal Shelter. He is such a handsome boy and definitely knows how to pose for a picture! Gabe has a very gentle soul. He walks well on a leash and enjoys taking his time walking through the shelter yard. He can be shy at first if around many people he does not know. The more time he spends with you, the more confident he becomes. He takes treats gently, enjoys being petted and may be house trained too. He enjoyed climbing on the play equipment and stood at the top with his head up enjoying all the smells. He enjoys chasing balls but does not return them. He is so ready to find his own loving home with a secured backyard he can enjoy, but then live indoors where he enjoys the company of his human companions. Walking past other dogs barking at him he did not have a response, but we do always ask if you have another dog in the home, to please ask the shelter for a dog test. Please help by networking him or send a rescue tag to rescues@cityofmesquite.comwith the subject line TAG 55249467. Any further questions, please email or call972.216.6283.
