Story

Onyx’s journey is one of strength, survival, and second chances. At just 8 months old, this sweet and playful pup has already overcome more than most dogs face in a lifetime. We first met Onyx at a local shelter after he had been hit by a car and left in critical condition. Despite his injuries and the pain he was in, he still had a gentle spark in his eyes. We knew we had to give him a fighting chance. We pulled him from the shelter and rushed him into medical care, unsure of what the outcome would be but determined to do everything we could to help him heal. The road to recovery was rough. Onyx battled through it all with quiet strength, enduring treatments, crate rest, and constant vet visits. But this little guy is a warrior. With time, love, and a whole lot of resilience, Onyx pulled through. Today, he’s not just surviving, he’s thriving. Now healed and full of life, Onyx is the perfect blend of cuddly and playful. He’s dog friendly, loves to run and play, and has a gentle, loving heart. Despite everything he’s been through, he trusts with his whole soul and brings joy to everyone who meets him. Onyx is fully vetted, almost full grown, and ready to find the forever family he’s always deserved. We’re so proud of this brave little guy and can’t wait to see him start the next chapter of his story, one filled with comfort, companionship, and unconditional love. Onyx is living proof that even the toughest beginnings can lead to the brightest futures. ##2417583##

Olivia

Australian Kelpie

Female, 9 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

This adorable tail-wagging pup is Olivia, listed as an Australian Kelpie that was brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 10/4. My dog scanner suggests possibly Welsh Corgi, Cardigan and Rat Terrier in the mix. Olivia weighs 32 lbs and is about 7 mos old. Those soulful eyes and oversized ears give her such an adorable appearance! She knows a sit command and will do so for treats which she takes quite politely! She walks nicely on a leash. Olivia was so thrilled to get out of her kennel and romp around in the yard. As with a number of our dogs, she does jump on you. This is not abnormal and is a behavior that can be corrected. Naturally she has a lot of puppy energy and needs daily exercise and playtime. There is really so much to like about this mild-mannered girl and she would make someone a wonderful companion. She wants and deserves an inside life, bonding with her peeps and being an important part of the family.

Theo

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 2 yrs 4 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

Theo is a two 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.

Tribe

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 6 yrs 3 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Tribe! He is a 6yr old neutered male Mix Breed, possibly Plott Hound in the mix, that weighs 76lbs. He was surrendered due to the owners were out of town more and couldn`t care for him. On the surrender form they said he was an indoor dog, was housebroken, was raised with older children and was good with them, and was good with dogs if given a slow introduction. They also said that he knew the come, sit and stay commands. There’s no doubt he’s very well mannered and has been treated well. He’s a stocky boy! He would feel better if he was given a healthy diet and exercise! He casually strolled around the yard but wanted in after he had done his business. He’s extremely sweet, friendly, affectionate, calm and happy. He had bouts of playfulness. He walks well on a leash especially considering how big he is. He stood by the door wanting in, indicating he wants to be an inside dog. Being with his human companion indoors, being cuddly is what he dreams of.

Ida May

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Ida May! She is a beautiful 4 yr-old 38lb silvery gray terrier pit that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/26 as a stray. She sits and even dances for treats, but she doesn`t take them gently, so additional training would be needed. After she enjoyed stretching her legs in the yard, she came back to me and stayed close. When I sat down, she came to me to have her ears scratched. She’s friendly, outgoing, sweet, gentle and has a little zip in her step. She’s very aware of her surroundings. She walked with a purpose, and I think the purpose was to get out in the yard and do her business. She was not interested in meeting other dogs. We do always ask if you have another dog in the home, please ask the shelter for a dog test. She confided in me that she would love to have a secured yard of her own to play in, but definitely wants to be an inside dog so she can enjoy all the luxuries of her new home and her loving human companions.

Axel

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 11 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

This delightful and enthusiastic youngster is Axle, a pitbull terrier mix weighing 33lbs and at 10 months old that came in as a stray on 10/19. Axel walks nicely on a leash. He was so thrilled to get out in our yard and stretch his legs. He is very excitable and will jump on you. He is a tail-wagging life-of-the-party kind of pup who wants to be close to a human friend. He is very sociable and more than happy to be petted and loved on. He is crazy about treats and will sit constantly in order to receive more! This youngster needs to be in a household with no cats. His dream home would include a couple of soft cushy beds, an inside life with his people, daily playtime and exercise, and he is even willing to work hard at learning some commands. I think he would make a good pupil!
