In her short life, it looks like Eva has probably been overbred. She would now like to go to a home that would cherish HER because of her sterling personality. Eva is a two-year-old black and white terrier pit mix that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 5/21. She weighs 56 pounds. I had her out on a hot day and she spent most the time by the door. She wants to be mostly an inside dog. She will need a tall secure fence as she did make an attempt to escape. She does sit for treats and takes them gently. Eva is well mannered. She occasionally jumps on you but gets down when asked to do so. She wants human interaction and stays close. She is sweet, friendly, and very observant. She seems to be happy as her tail wagged a lot. She came to me when I called her. She walked OK on a leash. She did her business when she got out into the yard. She wagged her tail meeting smaller dogs but barked at one larger dog. We always suggest if you have another dog to ask the shelter for a dog test. This is one sweet girl and deserves a break. I'm hoping this first picture will tug at your heart and you will come in and meet her. Eva would do well with children. As loving as she is, I think she would be very protective of them. And like I said, she does not like the hot weather and needs to be a mostly inside dog.
