Story
Rudy is a six year-old 69 pound black and white pitbull mix that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 7//25 as a stray. Sweet Rudy hasn`t had the best life as can be seen with some missing hair. We told him, we will make sure he has great meals and plenty of TLC so he will feel and look much better. When I sat down he came and gently put his head on my lap. The look he gave me just melted my heart. I was in love! He has inner beauty that shines through. Come meet him and you will see what I mean. He walked right beside me on a leash. He did his business as soon as he got out into the yard. He is now ready for the new phase of his life where he will be cherished!!!

Story
Meet Frank! He is a 4yr old neutered male American Pitbull mix that weighs 69lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 6/3 as a stray. He is a very handsome boy and definitely has a zest for life. He loves to explore the play yard and take in all the smells. Frank can walk a bit strongly on a leash, yet I know with a bit more training he will do well. He knows the sit command and takes treats gently. He loves treats and can sometimes be pushy when he wants more. Reminding him to sit and not jump for more helps him stay on task. He enjoys being petted too. Walking past the other dogs barking at him, he showed no interest. We do ask tho if you have another dog in the home to please ask the shelter for a dog test. Frank would need to have a secured yard to play in, then come back inside where he has his own dog bed and able to spend time with his favorite family companions.

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!

Story
Let me introduce you to Cisco, an American pitbull mix picked up as a stray and brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 8/17. Cisco has the most beautiful golden eyes and standup ears. He weighs 44 pounds and is about one year old. Cisco appears to have been nicely cared for is at a good weight. He does not seem to know any commands. He is energetic, lively, and alert. He is a jumper and climber and was very interested in scouting out both rooms in which I had him as well as the yard. He is a bit nervous and restless, but seems to be gaining confidence and trust. He was not interested in toys or balls, but was happy to receive treats. He is amiable and had no issues with me petting him. The Cisco kid is very much hoping his residency at the shelter will be a brief one! It is his fondest hope he will live inside in comfort and spend time with his loving family. Can you assist Cisco?

Story
Cookie is 1-2 year old Rottweiler/Lab mix that weighs 68 pounds. She was surrendered on 6/18 along with three other dogs due to the health of the owner. Her surrender form stated that she was an indoor dog and is housebroken. It also states that she gets along with children, dogs and cats. She’s very attractive with a glossy coat and a curly tail. It looks like she’s been well taken care of. She would explore the yard and then come back and either sit by me or stand and look over the wall. There was another dog walking outside the gate, and she became very excited. It was obvious she wanted to make friends. She’s very sociable, friendly, spunky, sweet and affectionate. She occasionally jumps on you but just occasionally. She walks okay on a leash. She did her business when she got out into the yard. She would love to get out and play outside or go for walks and then come in to spend family time with her new family.

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!
