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.

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!

Story
Are you looking to add some spice in your life? Do you want someone that will love you unconditionally? Well Annie will do both. She is a 2-3 yr-old reddish brown terrier pit with stand up ears. She weighs 39 pounds and arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 8/26 as a stray. She is highly motivated by treats and does sit for them. However, she gets overly excited and does not take them gently. She will need some manners training to learn not to do this. She occasionally jumps on you but gets down when told to do so. She does want to please. She is high energy and full of a lot of enthusiasm. It would be very helpful for her to have lots of toys and to be able to go on walks or runs with her new owners. She is super friendly. She’s tail-wagging happy. She does have a strong pull on the leash. She was friendly with other dogs, but at the same time the hair on her back went up. We would advise if another dog is in the home, to ask the shelter for a dog test. She did do her business in the yard immediately. She wants to be an inside dog where she can cuddle up with her new family after playtime.

Story
Cedar is a sweet, calm, gentle, loving boy. He’s an all-around good dog with sterling qualities. He is a 5yr, 53lb, American terrier pit that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/2 as a stray. He stayed close looking adoringly up at me with his hazel eyes. He sits for treats. He’s highly motivated by them and takes them very gently. He appears to be very happy as long as he can be near a human friend. I would suspect that he would be very devoted to his new family. He has the manners of a southern gentleman. He does have a strong pull on the leash. Cedar would want to be inside with his family to have bonding time.

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 would need to be an only dog. 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 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.

Story
Meet Helena! She’s a gorgeous 3-year-old spayed female Terrier Pitbull/Ibizan Hound mix weighing 45 lbs. She arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/22 as a stray. Helena is cautiously friendly—shy and timid—but that’s okay, she just needs time to build trust and confidence. She walks nicely on a leash, knows the sit command, and takes treats gently. Right now, she’d do best in an adult home with patient people who will let her open up at her own pace. When passing other dogs, she shows no reaction, but if you have another dog, the shelter recommends a dog test. She enjoys chasing toys, though she hasn’t mastered bringing them back. Helena deserves a loving family to play with her in a secure yard and spend quality time indoors. With patience, time, and plenty of tasty treats, she’ll blossom into a more confident pup. Come meet Helena!

Story
Hi! My name is Bandit and I am a 2-year old happy Boxer mix who loves to play and cuddle. I really enjoy chew toys and love to play games of tug of war and fetching balls. Car rides are so much fun too. I also love to snuggle up with my person and will follow my person everywhere. I know how to sit and stay but I am a little stubborn when I am asked to come when my person calls me. My person needs to rehome me because I am told I am just too much for my person to handle at her age and need someone who can spend more time with me and train me to be the best dog I can be. I am really smart but need socialization training and although I love to go on walks, I am very strong-willed and need a firm hand and discipline training while taking walks. I love kids and get along well with larger dogs but do not get along well with small dogs, cats or any small animals so I may do best as an only dog or as a single brother to another dog my size.
