Ida May

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 6 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Ida May! She’s a 4-year-old spayed female Terrier-Pitbull mix weighing 46 lbs. She arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/26 as a stray. This beautiful girl has an outgoing, bubbly personality and loves spending time in the play yard, stretching her legs and doing plenty of zoomies. Once she’s burned off some energy, she enjoys sitting close for ear rubs. She walks well on a leash, though she can get a bit excited and pull at times. She knows the sit command and takes treats gently. When she saw another dog pass by, she ran along the fence wanting to play. If there’s another dog in the home, the shelter requests a dog test. Ida May has a sweet, loving nature and dreams of finding a forever family with a secure yard where she can run and play, then come inside to her toys and bed for long, cozy snoozes near her loved ones.

Annie

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 8 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Annie! She is a 3yr old spayed female American Pitbull mix that weighs 40lbs. She came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on as a stray 8/26/2025. She was adopted for one day but returned due to her very active playful manner. Yes, its true she is a spitfire! She loves to chase toys, doing zoomies in the play yard, and can be a bit mouthy with excitement. Once she runs out her energy she will sit right next you on the bench to be petted and will shower you with kisses. She does love treats but does not always take them gently so she will need additional training. She would do best with a person with an active lifestyle that can dedicate time to Annie to help her be the best pup she can be. She always has a big smile on her face and her tail wags non-stop. You can tell she wants to be your one and only pup in the home. With her energy level it maybe best. Please discuss with the shelter staff if you have another dog in the home so a dog test can be arranged. This super friendly lovebug can’t wait to find her own loving home. Can you please provide her with this?

Theo

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 6 yrs 1 mo

Mesquite, TX

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Theo is a 6 year-old neutered male, 64lb Shepherd mix that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 7/28 as a stray. Like I was saying he has made a complete turnaround because once he did get in the yard, he was galloping, prancing and almost bouncing happily back-and-forth. He was so happy he didn’t even want to come to me for petting. He just wanted to frolic. It was hot out, so I took him back into the meet and greet room. That’s when we became better acquainted. He came to me for petting. He’s real sweet and affectionate. He has love to give and wants to be loved in return. He did his business in the yard, and he may be housebroken. He now walks relatively well on a leash. Besides that he said he would like to snuggle inside on the couch with his new family.

Ria

Labrador Retriever American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 2 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

This Lab/Retriever, Terrier Pit mix is Ria. She was brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 2/9. Ria weighs 45 pounds, is about 1 1/2 years old and is spayed. As she walked past several kennels, she sniffed at the dogs as though she wanted to be friends. She spent quite a bit of time in the yard and thoroughly enjoyed herself wandering about, with her nose in the air, sniffing out all the interesting scents and looking out into the parking lot activity. Ria is calm and gentle and has a low-key personality. She is friendly once she feels comfortable with a new friend and will warm up. She is OK with loving attention and allowed me to pet her. I even got a few kisses. In the time I spent with her, she has already found a place in my heart. She wants more than anything to get out of a city shelter with dogs barking and confined to a kennel to living as an inside dog with a soft doggie bed, good food and snacks and plenty of TLC from her new people.

Collin

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 3 yrs 2 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Collin is a soft tawny colored 2 year-old 47 pound American terrier pit that was brought into the Mesquite Animal Shelter 3/3 as a stray. He spent considerable time casually strolling around the yard investigating. He also did his business as soon as he got out of the yard so he wants to keep his kennel clean. I found him adventuresome, curious, gentle, well mannered, and very sweet. I noticed that it didn’t appear like he’s had much socialization. It’s not that he wasn’t sweet. He just appeared to prefer wandering on his own. He did come when I called him. He let me pet him briefly. Look into his eyes and you can see that what he’s missing is love. He walked on the leash without pulling.

Story

Tommy doesn’t know whether to burn off his fun-loving energy or sit by you to receive affection. When he got out in the yard he did zoomies …sometimes running in tight circles! Tommy will keep you on your toes but at the same time give you something to smile about! His happiness is contagious! Tommy is a 2 year old 55 pound neutered male Lab/Retriever/American terrier pit that arrived at the Mesquite Animal shelter on 3/5 as a stray. Tommy loves toys and will entertain himself with them. At the same time, he also loves people and loves giving and receiving attention. As rambunctious as he is, he’s also gentle. He doesn’t jump on you. He wants to please. He’s very friendly and affectionate. He walks OK on a leash. And yes, he will need a lot of space to burn off his excess energy along with a human playmate. After playtime comes snuggle on the couch time.
