Story

I had a pleasant surprise in store when I met Mack. He’s a seven month old 53 pound German Shepherd mix that was surrendered to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/1 along with his brother Cheese. The surrender form stated that they were surrendered because the owners were moving AND had too many dogs. It also stated that both brothers had lived entirely outdoors and had not been taught any commands. The outdoors part was obvious from looking at the fly bites on Mack’s ears. So I assumed that Mack would need manners training. I’m assuming he probably has not had much socialization. Yet, he was really well mannered, gentle, and loving. He didn’t jump on me except one time to give me a hug. I also got kisses. He was just so happy for some attention. He looked over the wall and was whining. I’m assuming he was looking for his owners🥲. He also romped around the yard and then came back to hang out with me. He took treats gently and seem to be motivated by them. He’s obviously smart and very trainable. He needed some coaxing walking on the leash. The surrender form said he was raised with other dogs but not cats or children. I’m told he had to fight for his food so he has some scars on his head and his legs. If you have another dog, they will need to be fed separately. He really has so so much potential. He wants to be an inside dog this time around where we can chill out watching TV with his new family.

Story

Cheese is a 38 pound 7 month honey-colored German Shepherd mix that was surrendered to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/1. The surrender form stated that they had too many animals AND that they were moving ! The form stated that Cheese had been raised around other dogs but not children or cats. It’s obvious that Cheese has spent most of time outside because he has fly bites on his ears. When I first took him out into the yard he was shaking and his tail was tucked. With ”sweet talk” he relaxed, and I even got a mini tail wag. He wants to make friends, but will need slow introductions to build trust. He will do best with a laid-back family. He does like treats and takes them gently. He is agile as he likes to climb. He’s also sweet, docile, calm, and alert. He’s also somewhat skittish. He had to be carried into the yard as he fought the leash. This poor scared pup didn’t understand what a leash was all about. He has some scarring on his front legs. He wants to be an inside dog this time around so he can spend more time loving on his new family. If you have another dog Cheese will need to be fed separately.

Story

I named this one year-old 65 pound mostly white Shepherd Edison. You will notice that his ribs are showing, his hair was dirty, and he had a dirty old rope around his neck. I think he was inventive and creative in finding a way to escape his previous life. Now he’s hoping for the love he’s deserved all along. He is so sweet and yet so so nervous. He was drooling because his stomach was upset. He wandered aimlessly around for a while, and then spent the rest of the time close to me. He wants and seeks affection in the gentle way of his. He hasn’t been taught the sit command, but he does back up in an effort to please. He’s very sweet, well mannered, and friendly. He would be a loyal, devoted companion. He did his business when he got out into the yard. He had a strong pull on the leash trying to go out to the yard but walked right beside me on the way back. Please, please consider tagging or meeting this boy. He needs out of the shelter probably more than most because he’s so nervous. He would love to watch TV with you curled up beside you or in his bed at your feet.

Loretta

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 1 yr 1 mo

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Loretta, primarily a German Shepherd but with a bit of Belgian Shepherd Dog thrown in for good measure, brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/9 as a stray. Loretta weighs 46 pounds and is about a year old. She looks rather solemn in her photos. However, she is anything but that! She has so much personality and is full of fun-loving energy! In her excitement this spunky gal will jump on you. Loretta is playful and active. She loves treats and takes them gently but does not know to sit for them. Since she is so crazy about treats, it may be fairly easy to teach her some commands. Loretta is very curious and spent a fair amount of time at the shelter wall, leaning on the ledge and looking out at the parking lot and yard at all the interesting people, dogs and vehicles. There is nothing timid about Loretta. She looks as though she has been well cared for and yet no one has come looking for her! This amiable girl has such a pleasant nature and truly is a delightful youngster! She walks quite well on a leash and she did her business when she got out into the yard. Her dream is to live inside with her people and be an important part of their lives. Therefore if you are looking for a guard or watch dog, you need not apply! Are you able to assist Loretta in finding her new home?

Shelby

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 3 yrs 1 mo

Size

Story

Shelby is very sweet, loving and deserving of a good home where she’s well cared for. Judging from the fly bites on her ears, the fact that she’s had a litter not too long ago, and that her ribs are showing indicate to me that she has probably been an outside dog. She deserves to be an inside dog where she can get an abundance of TLC! Shelby is a three-year-old 60 pound shepherd mix that arrived at the Mesquite Shelter on 11/14 as a stray. She is already spayed! I was met at her kennel with tail wags. When I got her out into the yard, she spent a lot of time exploring with her nose. Her sense of smell is obviously very important to her. She sits for treats but doesn’t stay in that position for very long. She came to me for extra loving. I get the feeling she may not have had a whole lot of socialization. She’s friendly, loving, well mannered, easy-going, and very alert. She definitely wanted to know what was going on beyond the gate., She didn’t have a problem meeting other dogs, and she walks OK on a leash . Please open your heart and your home to this lovable pup.

Story

This delightful fellow is Monroe, picked up as a stray by one of our officers and brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/20. He weighs 60 pounds and is about 2 years old. He is a mixed breed and my Dog Scanner app suggests mostly Belgian Shepherd and German Shepherd in the mix. He is a tail-wagging pleasant-natured boy with a chill personality. He is well behaved and has a fairly calm demeanor. He amiable and stayed very close to me, seeming to find comfort in being close to a human friend. He walks quite nicely on a leash. Monroe pottied as soon as he got into the yard. He seems to have been well cared for but sadly his people have not come looking for him. He loves treats and takes them politely but doesn`t know to sit for them. He wasn`t interested in toys or balls and doesn`t appear to know any commands. He was perfectly ok with being petted. This adorable boy would make a wonderful addition to the household of a person or family who would provide an inside life with a soft bed or two and plenty of TLC. Will you consider whether you can assist Monroe in finding that perfect forever home?

Story

Pax is 7 months old. My husband was working with his previous owner and received it from him. He would be perfect in a home with either other large dogs or no dogs. I would not recommend he be with small dogs. He is already big and loves to play rough. Our older small dog does not handle this well. Pax is friendly, but still very very fearful. We suspect he was abused by the previous owner. He has improved a lot, but is still easily startled. He has never ever growled at us (husband or kids). He is very sweet and would do great with someone who will sit with him and cuddle.

Story

Biscuit is part of the Breakfast Club… 5 pups found living under a mobile home in West Dallas. She is the only girl. After a long day, they were caught and taken to a wonderful foster. Biscuit arrived dirty, flea ridden and scared. After 2+ weeks of good food, good care and love, they are happy, roly poly, playful and ready to find their forever homes! The puppies are now about 11 weeks old. Biscuit and Sausage are with the same foster. She was initially very shy but has really blossomed in the last week. They now run to the foster for pets and affection. The puppies have had their first puppy shots and will need two more, which Duck Team 6 will pay cover. In addition, the puppies will need to be spayed/neutered when they are 6 months old which Duck Team 6 will also cover. Please email placement@duckteam6.org if you are interested in adopting either of these cuties! November 9, 2024, 2:58 pm
