Meet Jasper, an American Staffordshire terrier mix, picked up by one of our officers along with his sibling, Johnny, and brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 3/25. Jasper weighs 54 pounds and is about 3 years old. The two boys are obviously from the same litter because they look so similar and are the same age and weight. Jasper walks quite nicely on a leash. He knows the sit command, and will do so for treats which he takes gently. He has a chill personality and is friendly, sweet and lovable, as well as affectionate. This was demonstrated when the officer who picked the brothers up came into the room and Jasper made a beeline for her, giving her lots of tail wags, hugs, snuggles and adoring looks! He obviously remembered her. Jasper is timid and nervous and it's obvious he doesn't have a clue as to why he ended up in a city shelter and where is people are. He appears to have lived as an outside dog. He has fur loss and scaly skin on his back. It doesn't appear to be anything more than a good nutritious diet and proper care would resolve.
