Story
This adorable tail-wagging pup is Olivia, listed as an Australian Kelpie that was brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 10/4. My dog scanner suggests possibly Welsh Corgi, Cardigan and Rat Terrier in the mix. Olivia weighs 32 lbs and is about 7 mos old. Those soulful eyes and oversized ears give her such an adorable appearance! She knows a sit command and will do so for treats which she takes quite politely! She walks nicely on a leash. Olivia was so thrilled to get out of her kennel and romp around in the yard. As with a number of our dogs, she does jump on you. This is not abnormal and is a behavior that can be corrected. Naturally she has a lot of puppy energy and needs daily exercise and playtime. There is really so much to like about this mild-mannered girl and she would make someone a wonderful companion. She wants and deserves an inside life, bonding with her peeps and being an important part of the family.

Story
Gemi is an exceptional beautiful girl! She’s got a sleek glossy coat with gorgeous coloring! It looks like she’s been well taken care of. Gemi is a 10 mo old 39lb Australian Kelpie that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/22 as a stray. Gemi is very agile and likes to climb. She frolicked and galloped back-and-forth in the yard each time stopping to look up at me. She’s extremely fast. You might say she’s lively and quick. At one point when standing by the wall she reached over with her paw to get my attention! She won my heart with that move! She’s happy, sociable and playful. She did her business when she got out into the yard. She walked okay on a leash. She’s got a winning personality! She definitely needs a secured yard and lots of exercise and then would like to come back in the house to chill out with her new family.

Story
Meet Belle! A sweet and soulful almost two-year-old Kelpie mix currently in Converse, TX, whose tricolor coat is just as vibrant as her heart is gentle. Belle is the kind of pup who melts into your side for a cuddle, flashes a warm-eyed smile at every passerby, and politely sits for treats with the elegance of a pup who’s clearly aced her obedience classes. Belle has completed multiple levels of training and knows commands like sit, stay, down, up, go, and kennel. She’s crate trained, house-trained, microchipped, and in tip-top health with all her vaccinations up to date. At about 30 pounds, she’s a perfectly portable medium-sized companion who enjoys car rides (she even comes with her own doggy seat belt!) and adores daily walks, chew toys, and cozying up with her people at the end of the day. While Belle is incredibly curious and gentle around cats, her current feline roommate isn’t quite as open to friendship. Because of that, she’s looking for a new loving home where peace and harmony can flourish, ideally one with a fenced yard and maybe even another dog to pal around with. Belle is especially happy in the company of other dogs and shines at the dog park, where her social butterfly side gets to come out and play! Her temperament makes her a great match for families with young children (ages three and up), other friendly dogs, and caregivers who value companionship and affection. She’s never shown aggression, handles being alone just fine for short periods, and keeps a calm, even-keeled presence that makes her a joy to share space with. To help ease her into her next chapter, her current guardian is sending her off with her full setup: a collapsible kennel, bed, toys, treats, leash and harness, fresh pet food, and even her travel gear. Are you ready to open your heart and home to a sweet, loyal girl who just wants to love and be loved? Belle might be the perfect new friend you didn’t know you were missing. Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com and say hello to your next great adventure!

Story
Meet Leo! He is a 8yr old neutered Australian Cattle dog, possibly some shepherd, that weighs 44lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 5/16 as a stray. It`s possible he may have a few other breeds in his mix. Doesn’t matter tho, as he is very handsome and will charm you with his smile. He loves to get out of his kennel and go for walks to stretch his legs. He passes by the other dogs barking at him with no issues to go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Taking in all the smells, with that constant smile on his face. He found a few stuffed toys that he enjoyed tossing around. He enjoys being petted and loved on and on occasion he may give you a kiss. He also knows the sit command and takes treats gently. He would love to have an active family to take him for walks, and have a secured yard to play in. Most importantly live indoors so he can enjoy family time with his human companions. You can’t go wrong with this wonderful guy. Come meet Leo!

Story
This very attractive and sweet natured youngster is Tali, listed as a shepherd mix that was surrendered to the Mesquite animal shelter on 9/3 because the owner had too many animals. When I ran he pics though a dog scanner, I got quite a few suggestions as to possible breeds in her mix, some of which were Aussie Kelpie, Mountain Cur, and Dutch Shepherd. Whatever is in the mix, she is an adorable pup. She weighs 34lbs and has the most adorable standup ears! She is well behaved, calm, and gentle, is submissive and has a chill personality. She is not a high energy pup. This girl walks nicely on a leash. Tali was mildly interested in the toys I offered her, especially the squeaky ones. She tried to climb into my lap and seeks out attention, wanting to be close to a kind human friend. Tali deserves to be an inside girl, socializing and bonding with her people. Perhaps you can tell that this little girl has really captured my heart!
