Pluto

German Shepherd Dog Greyhound

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

Pluto will keep you entertained with his antics and his inquisitiveness! He is a 1-year old Greek Harehound/Shepherd mix that weighs 60 pounds and came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/21 as a stray. He is definitely unique in his appearance. He’s sort of goofy in a good way. He’s very playful. When he was out in the yard, he saw me going in and came running. He’s alert and investigated everything in the yard and in the meet and greet room. He found toys and entertained himself with them. He didn’t appear to know the sit command or any other commands. He’s friendly, active, and very outgoing. He required some coaxing initially to get him to walk on a leash. Because he occasionally jumps on you and he’s a big boy, he will need some help learning his manners. He would do well with an active family. He’s too big for an apartment and would need a yard to get out and expend some energy in. He does want to be an inside dog so he can enjoy time with his new family.

Ritz

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 2 yrs 2 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

Ritz is a 2 yr old male Shepherd mix that weighs 66lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 3/18 as a stray. He’s has energy of a young puppy. He happily pranced and galloped back-and-forth in the shelter yard. At one point he chased some balls, but he didn’t retrieve them. As he was done in the yard, he checked out all of his surroundings. He’s very alert and curious. He does jump on you. He gets down when told to do so, but he will need some manners training to learn not to do this. He also sits for treats but will need to learn to take them gently. I know he’s smart and he’s highly motivated by treats so he should be a quick learner. He’s friendly, happy, playful, and very affectionate. He walks OK on a leash. He’d be best suited for an active family. He would not do well in an apartment due to his energy level. He will need a yard and/or frequent exercise to expend some of his energy. But then he would want to come in and curl up next to you on the couch or in his own soft bed.

Story

Tanner is a 3yr old 49 lb Staffordshire pit that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 4/12. If he looks worried in some of these pictures, he most likely is. He wants and deserves adopters that will cherish him. He has a lot of love to give. When I sat down, he immediately came to me to put his head on my lap. Actually at one point he put his paws up on my lap. He gives kisses. He is so affectionate. He does sit for treats. He takes the treats relatively gently considering how hungry he must be. He’s very sweet, affectionate, calm, gentle, and alert. He walks OK on a leash. He did his business in the yard. He didn’t have a problem meeting other dogs. I did not see any aggression. He wants to be an inside dog. He likes to watch television. He particularly likes Animal Planet but if you’re a a Rangers fan, he’ll be a Rangers fan. He just wants to be part of a new family.

Timber

Husky

Male, 4 yrs 1 mo

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

Timber is a handsome, dignified, majestic blue-eyed Siberian Husky mix. He is a 4 yr old 62 lb show-stopping fluffy boy that was brought into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 4/24. He is on the shy side. When I first took him into the yard, he was shaking and had his tail tucked. However, once he got to pacing and exploring the yard, he relaxed. He will no doubt blossom once he’s in a loving home with his new family. Timber will also need a tall secure fence. Seeing how fluffy he is you probably guessed that he will need frequent grooming. You are correct about that. He is agile, sweet, affectionate, and no doubt will be very loyal. At this point he’s cautiously friendly. There’s no doubt that he’s very intelligent. He has not been taught the sit command so that is something you can teach him. He was intimidated by other dogs. With coaxing, he walked well on a leash. He particularly responded to praise. He’s a good boy and will make a wonderful addition to your family. He would love to get out and enjoy the sunshine, but also spend quality time in the house with his new family.

Nikki

Labrador Retriever American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 1 mo

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

Meet Nikki, listed as a Retriever/Lab, American Pitbull mix came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 4/26. She is 3 yrs old and weighs 54 pounds. She has a low-key chill personality and is very alert and aware of her surroundings. She’s a real beauty and has a regal bearing about her! Nikki knows the sit command and will do so for treats taking them politely. She also is quite skilled at catching them in her mouth from a sitting position! She is friendly and is A-OK with being petted and loved on. She’s still a bit nervous and timid. However, I am confident with continued interaction and socialization, she will relax and feel more comfortable. Nikki is well behaved and has a calm and gentle personality. She was not interested in the toys or balls I offered her. Instead, she gravitated to the bed with a soft blanket that she relaxed on and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the quiet relaxed atmosphere of the room. She walks beautifully on a leash. Can you find it in your heart to assist this girl out of the shelter life and into a home in which she will receive plenty of TLC and an inside life with her people?
