Story

This winsome 4 year-old 46 pound spayed terrier Pit Bull girl is Ida May. She arrived at the Mesquite Animal shelter on 10/26/25. She continues to anxiously await that wonderful person or family who will take one look at her and decide she is just the dog for them! Let me tell you a bit about Ida May. She has an outgoing and fun-loving personality. She is so playful and loves to play with toys, amusing and entertaining herself and her people friends. She relishes getting out of her kennel to stretch her legs and run around doing zoomies in the yard. She likes treats and will sit for them, receiving them politely. She is alert and curious. In the yard, she watched the vehicles passing by on the road and seemed mesmerized by the steady stream of cars and trucks. She was dog tested and did fine. However, if you have a dog, please ask the shelter staff to do a meet and greet with your dog and Ida May. She is friendly and perfectly happy with being petted and loved on.

Ria

Labrador Retriever American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 4 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Ria! She is a 3yr old spayed female Lab Retriever/Terrier mix that weighs 45lbs. She came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 2/9 as a stray. She has made great strides she initially came into the shelter. She was very shy, timid and scared of her surroundings. He has made good friends in the staff and volunteers and looks forward to getting out of her kennel, going for walks and getting plenty of pets from us. She still becomes nervous around new people and some men. She is a joy to walk, takes treats gently, and when she finds the right spot, she stops, drops and rolls on her back with a big smile on her face. She would do best in a calm loving home environment, with adults and older children. She enjoys her quiet time while out in the shelter yard, taking in all of her surroundings, but will come back to be close to her human companion. She doesn’t show any interest in other dogs barking at her, yet we do always ask if there is another dog in the home, please ask the shelter for a dog test. She has definitely captured our hearts and we know that special family is out there for her. Having a fluffy dog bed or cuddling on the couch would be a dream for sweet Ria. Come meet her!!

Tommy

Labrador Retriever American Pit Bull Terrier

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Tommy! He is a 2yr old neutered male Lab/Retriever mix that weighs 55lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Services on 3/5 as a stray. Happiness is what Tommy is all about. On his walk out to the play yard his tail wags non stop, with a big smile on his face. He loves to get his zoomies out, but then will quickly come back to his companion for plenty of kisses and petting. With plenty of toys to choose from he is not sure which one he likes the most. He will chase balls then gently return them to you to throw again. He has a very gentle loving soul, and only wants to share that affection with everyone he meets. Tommy takes treats gently, and on occasion will sit for them. He doesn’t have much interest in other dogs barking at him, yet we do ask if you have another dog in the home, please ask the shelter for a dog test. He would make a great family companion where he has a secured yard to play in, yet live indoors where he can cuddle close to his family members. Tommy is such an affection boy and hopes to find his own loving family soon!

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

Details

Story

Meet Collin! He is a 3yr old neutered male American Pitbull mix that weighs 50lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 3/3 as a stray. Take one look at Collin and you can’t help but smile with him. He is a very handsome boy with his tawny colored fur. Once in the play yard he likes to get his zoomies out, and if there are toys he will throw them up in the air to play with. He walks well on a leash, knows the sit command and takes treats gently. He is adventuresome, independent, curious and will take his time taking in his surroundings. Walking past other dogs barking at him, he showed no interest, but we do always ask if you have another dog in the home, please ask the shelter for a dog test. He enjoys being petted and loved on, but his mind is always on whats going on around him. He hopes he can find his forever family that has a secured yard to play in, but return inside where its nice and cool, so he can enjoy plenty of family time.

Gordo

American Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Male, 3 yrs 3 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

Looking into Gordo‘s face and eyes you can tell he’s sweet! Gordo is a 3 year-old 45 pound Boxer/American Pit mix that was brought into Mesquite Animal Shelter on 5/7. At a distance, he appears to be black, but as you can see he’s brindle and has an adorable face! He would explore the yard and then come back and stand next to me or if I was on the bench sit next to me. He craves closeness to his humans. He’s calm, alert, friendly, affectionate and gentle. He walks OK on a leash. He did his business immediately upon getting into the yard. And obviously he’s deserving of a forever home where he can get out to exercise, but then spend most of his time inside loving on his new family. He’s a real sweet cutie pie!

Juliet

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 8 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Juliet! She is a 1 ½ yr old female American Pitbull mix that weighs 45lbs. She came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 5/11 as a stray. This sweet girl is full of charm!! She enjoys being petted and loved on. Will roll over for tummy rubs and if you are lucky she may give you a kiss. She walks well on a leash, takes treats gently and maybe house trained. She has a spot on the top of her head that appears to be scar tissue that does not bother Juliet. She enjoys investigating every inch she is in, but will run back to me for more pets. All of the noise in the shelter does make her nervous, but once out for a walk or in the play yard her true personality comes out. She didn’t show any interest in toys, but I’m sure she will find the right one eventually. Juliet didn’t show any interest in other dogs, yet we do ask if you have another dog in the home, please ask the shelter for a dog test. She hopes to find her own loving family with a secured yard to play in, but live indoors where she can be close and cuddly to her human companion is what she deserves.
