Story
Meet Skippy – the Dog-Lover’s Dog If dogs could hand out friendship bracelets, Skippy would be covered in them. This boy lives for his four-legged friends! A true social butterfly, Skippy thrives in playgroups at OHAR and is happiest when he's surrounded by canine companions. Whether it’s a game of chase, a sniff session, or just lounging in the sun with a buddy, Skippy is all in.But when it comes to humans… Skippy’s heart is a little guarded.You see, Skippy has been let down more times than we can count. His journey began at the Mesquite Animal Shelter way back in 2017. OHAR stepped in to give him a chance, but his first foster placement wasn’t the right fit. Thankfully, an experienced foster took him in and gave him the time, structure, and love he needed to blossom into the amazing pup he truly is.He found what we hoped would be his forever home in 2020, but sadly, Skippy has found himself back with us—returned because his adopters couldn't provide the guidance he still needs. The one human who has ever made Skippy feel safe was his foster mama. She saw his heart, his potential, and never gave up on him.And we won’t either.Skippy deserves more than just another stop on his journey—he deserves his person. Someone patient, experienced, and kind. Someone who understands that trust is earned, not expected. Someone who will let Skippy shine in his own time.Could that someone be you?Let’s show Skippy that forever really does exist.Adoption Process: After your application is approved, a home visit is schedule. We will bring the pet to you and help with introductions to your current pet(s). You will then have a week with the pet to ensure they are the right fit for your home. At the end of the week, you finalize the adoption and the pet is officially part of your family! Learn more at ohar.org/adoptionprocess

Story
When you walk in the bay where Darby is she lets you know she’s there! She can be vocal. She’s a 3 yr-old 73lb English pointer/German shorthair pointer that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 7/31 as a stray. She’s very active but once out of the kennel, she settled down somewhat. She does sit for treats and takes them gently. When I called her from across the yard she came running to me. When I sat down, she came to me and wanted to get on my lap. But she also wanted to get my treats out of my pocket. She likes you to throw a ball for her and she will retrieve it. She has a lot of energy and will need a lot of exercise and enrichment. She is a really good dog, but her energy will need to be channeled. She does have a strong pull on the leash. She will need a large space to run in, but after she has run her energy out, she would love to be indoors, cuddling on the couch or in her own bed to be close to her family companions.

Story
RESCUE ONLYMeet Eli! He is a 1 yr old neutered male Pointer/Cattle dog mix that weighs 40lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/18 as a stray. Upon arrival, Eli had injuries to his back left leg. He was taken to the vet, then released to the shelter a few days later. He has been healing and has been able to put weight on his leg. He still needs more time to recover, and the reason he is rescue only. He has an exuberant personality. Always happy, smile on his face, and wanting to race around the shelter yard as fast as he can. He loves chasing balls, so its clear to see once he is healed, having an active family to take him for walks and give him plenty of enrichment is what he needs. Having to be on crate rest has made him a bit stir crazy and he will bark and whine in excitement when he goes out to play. Eli loves to be petted and loved on and takes treats gently. I feel eventually he will walk well on a leash, once he is able to play more frequently. He doesn`t show any interests in the other dogs, yet a dog test can be requested of the shelter. Eli has alot of love to give, can one of our rescues help him on his path to a loving family?

Story
Meet Demi, a charming 4-year-old Heeler mix who is eager to find her perfect forever home. Demi is a wonderful companion with a gentle spirit and a playful heart, and she is ready to share her love with the right family. Demi is dog-friendly with proper introductions and has a special knack for helping other dogs come out of their shells, showcasing her nurturing side. She is crate trained and enjoys the safety of her crate, especially during thunderstorms, where she finds comfort. Demi walks beautifully on a leash and loves to engage in games of chase, whether she's the one chasing or being chased. With a personality akin to an introvert, Demi thrives with structure and boundaries, which help her feel safe and build trust with her humans. She has a low to medium energy level, making her easy to be around, while her great pack drive allows her to form strong bonds with her family. Although she is friendly and listens well, she takes her time to warm up to strangers, which adds to her endearing nature. Demi is playful and has a sweet demeanor, always eager to partake in life's adventures. She loves the great outdoors, especially hiking and exploring new environments. Additionally, she is treadmill trained, providing an excellent outlet on extra hot or cold days. Demi would do best in a quieter home with older children who can respect her gentle nature and allow her the space to thrive. If you're looking for a loving, playful companion who brings joy and stability, Demi could be the perfect addition to your family!

Story
Reba may look like a chunky little couch potato, but she’s really a big-hearted survivor. After a rough start to life raising puppies in a junkyard, she’s traded rust and scraps for soft beds and full bowls—and she couldn’t be happier. This lovable “house hippo” is all about being close to her people, whether that’s keeping you company indoors or following you into the yard. She’s weaned her babies now, but she still likes to stay near and soak up the comfort she’s found. Reba enjoys easygoing pack walks, belly rubs, and simply being part of your daily life. She’s ready to be someone’s loyal shadow, constant companion, and snuggle buddy for life.
