Story
DOB - Feb. 10, 2020 Reason for rehoming: My son (owner) moved to Africa. I cannot keep him due to my lease. If he cannot be rehomed, he will have to go to a shelter. The local Akita rescue is not accepting any new dogs. Alpha is a sweet and devoted American Akita looking for a forever home where he can thrive. He is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and naturally protective of his family—once he bonds with you, he is your shadow and your biggest fan. Alpha does have environmental allergies, so he’ll need an adopter who can continue his care and keep him comfortable. He cannot be boarded, so he needs a family who can provide in-home care or trusted at-home pet sitting when traveling. He loves being near his people, enjoys calm environments, and does best with someone who understands large guardian breeds. Alpha will make an amazing companion for the right person or family—someone who values loyalty, connection, and a dog who truly loves his humans.

Story
Shelby is a doll despite a hard life. She was probably dumped as she just showed up to a nice family’s house. They had no fencing and they did not care if she wandered so she didn’t stay. We intervened when she continued to roam. We are getting her healthy despite neglect. She was so matted we had to cut her coat with scissors and we’re not experts so she looks like a 6 yr old gave her a haircut. It just makes her even more adorable. She is so sweet and gentle and never met a stranger. This girl is a jewel in the rough. Can you make her shine ? She will reward you with more love and loyalty than you can imagine.. She has been in a foster home so she has been groomed, is living indoors and is a wonderful companion. She deserves a permanent home and is ready!If you would like to adopt this sweet furbaby, please complete our pre-qualification application at this link: https://bit.ly/2CCVFPV#AdoptDontShop #TBCAnimalRescue

Story
Sweet Penelope is a little distant from most humans, (we think she was abused) but not aggressive at all. However she ADORES other dogs. She is living her best life if she has another dog to play with and live with. She needs an adopter who understands that she will never likely be a very demonstrative dog with her human family, but will love and accept her as she is. She does let you pet her, she is just not very needy at all. She is crate trained, and housebroken. She is spayed, up to date on all vaccines and microchipped.

Story
Meet Bryce! He is a 5yr old male Akita/Cattle dog mix that weighs 82lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/22 as a stray. He is a very handsome boy, with probably a few more breeds in the mix. He is a very strong leash walker and will need additional training to help him learn he doesn`t need to pull so much. He has an investigative nose that enjoys taking in every inch of the shelter yard. He knows the sit command and takes treats gently. He prefers stuffed toys to carry around yet couldn`t decide on a favorite. He likes to be petted and rubbed behind his ears. Due to his size he would do best in a home with adults and older children. He showed no interest in the other dogs that were barking at him but we do always ask if there is another dog in the home to ask the shelter for a dog test. If you can offer Bryce a secured yard to play in and the indoor life with a fluffy dog bed and human companions to bond with.
