Canaan Dog puppies and dogs in Dallas, Texas

Meet Alex, a handsome Canaan Dog mix that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 4/19 as a stray. He weighs 48 pounds and is about 3 years old. Alex has an exuberant nature, is lively, active and has a confident and outgoing personality. He knows the sit and shake commands. He is quite adept at fetching. His owner has definitely worked with this boy! However, he very well may have lived as an outside dog, judging from the amount of fly bites on his ears. He went to the potty outside. He likes treats, will sit for them and takes them nicely. He is friendly and more than willing to be petted and loved on. He walks well on a leash, but does pull some. Alex will jump on you. There is a lot to like about this boy, and though he would prefer to see his owners again and be reclaimed, he is quite willing to settle in with a person or family that would stay committed to him and give him the TLC he deserves. His main stipulation is that he does not want to live outside, but desires to be inside the home as an important part of the family circle.

Pixie has a heart-shaped mark on her forehead that perfectly matches how loving of a dog she is. She does not know a stranger and just wants love and attention. Pixie has the typical energy level for her breed. She enjoys walks which definitely help release some of her puppy energy and she does well on a leash. Some days she will still want to play after a walk - she would be a great companion for a larger young male dog. Pixie loves to be petted, going on walks, playing catch, giving kisses, and she knows basic commands like sit and paw. I also have gotten her to spin a few times as well, so she is a quick learner. She is eager to please and we are confident that anyone that meets her will instantly love her. Pixie does not know a stranger and just wants love and attention. To know her is to love her; the family who found her wishes they had the lifestyle that would be good for her and they are very sad not to be able to keep her. When Pixie was found running stray she jumped right into the arms of her temporary family and thanked them with kisses. Their teacup-breed older dogs aren’t friendly to Pixie but she has such a sweet disposition she just ignores them or walks away, she never growls or shows any kind of aggression towards them. Pixie is NOT afraid of thunderstorms and doesn’t even mind going outside in the yard during the rain - even to play. Loud noises do not bother her; she even seemed to enjoy getting a bath! An ideal home for her would owners that are active and have time to tire her out. She will love walks, hiking, or visits to parks to play fetch. We hope to find a canine companion for her since she really loves being with other playful dogs. As always we want a home for puppies where there is time to dedicate to training, affection, exercise and love. The family who has been fostering her hasn’t used a crate but she does go outside to go potty. We would still recommend crate-training for her safety and want owners who will be patient during her transition to her new home.

Several volunteers from Ft Worth Animal Care really teamed up so this ADORABLE basenji mix has a foster! He and Pixie look Basenji and are both petite and sleek. When I was trying to determine a possible hybrid I was shocked but happy to learn about: The BaSheltie! Several sites had twins of Dusty! Dusty has been in a great foster home since his rescue. He’s awaiting a neuter appt this week but we have that covered! He is healthy, happy and hopeful to get a HOME! His foster family says he is “super dog friendly.” He is potty-trained and crate-trainer although he doesn’t love the crate. Dusty had mild separation anxiety at first which is normal; it’s much better when he is with his foster-fur friends so we hope to find a home with 1-2 playful young dogs. Dusty loves human attention and cannot get enough so expect a cuddly companion. He’s a balanced, bright and solid pet dog so wherever he was before that’s the past. Are you his future?
