Story
This thoroughly adorable and handsome boy is Scamp, brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 12/23 by someone who found him wandering about as a stray. My Dog Scanner app suggests Rat Terrier and other breeds in his mix. He weighs 14 pounds and is approximately 6 years old. He’s very friendly and sociable and warmed up to me quickly, jumping into my lap whenever I sat down and wanting to be petted and loved on. This would seem the perfect dog for an older couple or person wanting a calm and well-mannered dog that is not highly active. He walks nicely on a leash. Scamp did his business outside so may be housetrained. He has a low-key personality and truly is a sweetheart! Outside in the yard he was quite interested in exploring and checking out all the scents. Of course he would need to be an inside dog. He does a little dance for you on his hind legs that is quite entertaining! He has obviously been well cared for and yet here he is in a city shelter.

Story
Energetic 3-year-old Luna spends long days alone, tolerantly resting in her crate while her humans are at work. But she yearns for a new home where she is more free to romp, run, chase critters, and play fetch, getting plenty of interaction with an active and engaging family. She's prepared to dazzle you with her repertoire of tricks, including sit, stay, paw, lie down, roll over, kissy, and spin. She'll even balance treats on her nose then toss them into the air to catch! Luna is a fun-loving, spunky girl, who is always in the mood to go on adventures, and she never fails to bring toys back to keep a game of fetch going.  After she has tired you out, Luna's content to relax on her bed or snuggle up beside you for a nap, particularly if you are offering belly rubs. She's fully crate trained and house-trained but needs continued work at walking more calmly on leash. She's eager to engage with other dogs who are similarly fun-loving and energetically playful; because she's a big girl for a rattie mix (35 lbs.), other dogs who are smaller, timid, or grumpy might be annoyed by her persistent liveliness. Luna is extremely smart and highly motivated by food. She has been trained to not take treats or food unless told 'take,' and if she gets possessive over high-value treats or things she shouldn't have, she'll listen to you when you say 'leave it.' Taking her guard dog responsibilities seriously, she'll alert her humans to suspicious noises or people outside and will greet newcomers to the home with barking and jumping. After a few treats and a little time, however, she'll accept the new friends and offer them her toys. Her excitable nature and inclination to resource guard food and treats makes her unsuitable for young children. But beautiful Luna will be the perfect companion for an active and attentive household whose members spend much time at home. See more photos of Luna at www.imageevent.com/Newrattitude/luna .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info. December 25, 2024, 9:22 pm

Story
COURTESY POST: Diesel is a 5 year old, 25 pounds dog who is 1/2 Rat Terrier and 1/2 French Bulldog. Diesel was adopted a year ago. He was a neglected country dog covered in ticks, but he immediately took to having a family and a warm home. In fact, he often prefers to lounge in his crate instead of go outside. He is an excellent squirrel dog, likely from having lived outside for much of his life. Diesel is a very sweet, loving dog. He would do better in a home with children over 6. We are a RESCUE GROUP, not a shelter, and all of our animals are in foster homes. To start the adoption process, email us at adoptions@earstexas.org requesting an application. Submitting an application does not commit you in any way, but helps us make the best match between people and our available dogs. Your current or past dogs must be inside dogs who have been spayed/neutered and are on heartworm prevention. All of the dogs in our program are inside dogs and are completely vetted including all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, free of internal parasites, microchipped, heartworm negative and on prevention before adoption. Our adoption process includes an application, check of vet records or personal references, interview, neutral site meet & greet with the dog and your family, and a home visit.
