Story

Priscilla could be your new next best friend! She’s a 1-2 year old 59 pound Siberian Husky that was brought into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 6/27 along with her sibling Ursula. They are kenneled together, so it would be easy to get to see them both. They are bonded. They’re both really good girls. Priscilla has blue eyes and a slimmer body. She’s also more laid-back. She’s tail-wagging happy. She sits and gives her paw for treats. She stayed close, soaking up attention. She is affectionate, attentive, sweet, calm, gentle, and well mannered. She would need a tall secure fenced in yard to play in, as well as frequent brushings. Priscilla walked well on a leash. This soft cuddly girl that gives kisses is ready to enrich your life with unconditional love! You could be double blessed by adopting Ursula at the same time!

Kira

Husky

Female, 2 yrs 1 mo

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

If you’ve ever moved to a new place and it took you a while to get acclimated, you might have just a little understanding of what Kira is going through. She is a three year-old 45 pound Siberian Husky that was brought into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 9/11 as a stray. She’s cream colored with shades of mocha on her back and has piercing pale blue eyes. She is a bit timid and unsure. She does respond to TLC but will need more interaction for her to build trust and then blossom into her full potential! She is sweet, gentle, calm, and well mannered. Kira will need a tall secure fence in a yard that she can run and play in. She will also need frequent brushings. When I brushed her she stood there patiently. With some coaxing she walked well on a leash. She’s a diamond in the rough.

Kaido

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 11 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Kaido! He is a mixed breed youngster weighs 47 pounds and is about 1 year old. Kaido came in as a stray on 9/3. He is anxious to find a new family. This youngster looks like he’s been nicely cared for and has a sleek shiny chocolate brown coat. He does walk ok on a leash,but could use a bit more leash training. He is very high spirited and has lots of spunk and enthusiasm. He is quite curious and inquisitive about his environment. He was not interested in the toys and balls I offered him. He is an on-the-move kind of guy and will definitely need daily playtime, exercise, and enrichment in order to work out some of that puppy energy. He could use some manners training as well, as he does jump on you quite a bit to get your attention. He is friendly, sociable and engaging.

Annie

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 1 mo

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?

Hemlock

Great Pyrenees

Male, 2 yrs 3 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Hemlock, a charming 3 year old 70 pound neutered mixed breed boy that came in as a stray on 7/10. In his breed mix are likely the following: Lab/Retriever and Anatolian Shepherd. He is one bright-eyed, bushy-tailed boy. In spending time with him, I found him to be well-behaved, submissive, cool, calm, and collected and gentle. He has a very lovable personality. He enjoyed hanging out with a human friend and was quite affectionate, very OK with being loved on and petted. When he looks at you with those beautiful soulful eyes, it will melt your heart! He hopes to find a forever home in which he will live inside and bond with his people and live a comfortable cushy life! Hemlock is an incredible sweetheart! Can you tell he has won a place in my heart?

Kodak

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 3 mos

Mesquite, TX

Size

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

Details

Story

The first thing that becomes obvious when you meet Kodak is that he is very gentle, mild mannered, and sweet! He is a one-year-old neutered male, 47 pound American pitbull terrier that was surrendered to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 9/22. He has distinctive brown patches on a white background, one blue eye and one brown eye, and is on the thin side. His previous owners said that he was an indoor dog and that he knows the sit, paw, and lay down commands. He demonstrated his knowledge of these tasks to me. He was raised with other dogs and children from ages 8 to 18. He is very calm, friendly (but not overly so), affectionate, and alert. He would sit looking up at me adoringly as though he was asking, “What can I do to please you?” He walks well on a leash. He would like to get outside for exercise and then come back in and snuggle. I was very impressed with Kodak!
