Story
Ben was born in a high kill shelter on 2/3/2021. He was a day old when we brought him home along with his 10 siblings and his mother. All that remains is Ben and his mom Lily. They have been waiting patiently. But now it is thThis is Ben and he has been with Chloe’s Pet Rescue since he was a newborn. He is now going on three years old. We aren’t sure why he hasn’t found his “furever” home. He’s such a handsome guy. We believe he is an Akita/American Pit Bull mix. Ben is very friendly when meeting new people (after a few sniffs and he’s good to go) and is good with other dogs. In fact, if it looks like another dog wants to get into a tiff, he walks away. Ben is energetic and loves to go outdoors. He’s great walking on a leash, knows come here, stop, breakfast and dinner and is crate and house trained. One of his favorite things to play with is a ball. Something he does not like is rain and thunder. Don’t go out and buy a new bed for this guy because he will chew it up, just throw a blanket down and he is very content. Ben’s adoption fee is $25, which includes his full vetting.

Story
This cutesy high-spirited youngster is Louie, a 38 pound, approximately one year old mixed breed that is neutered. Louie was brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 7/30. This charming and delightful boy has a joyful and spunky personality. He is fun-loving, and is a tail-wagging, playful boy. He will sit immediately upon command and consume as many treats as you’re willing to give! Louie walks nicely on a leash. He did his business in the yard. Unfortunately, as time goes on, Louie is having a hard time with being confined in his kennel. He jumps and leaps very high indicating how stressed out he is and doesn’t make a good impression on prospective adopters. However, in the yard he does not jump as he does in his kennel. He needs a person or family who has an active lifestyle and will help him burn off some of that energy. He absolutely wants to live inside with his people with a comfortable soft doggy bed or two strategically placed around the house and plenty of TLC. Maybe you can tell that he is one of my favorites due to his winsome personality. I know he would be a wonderful and devoted companion so I hope soon his perfect person or family will discover him and allow him to become a part of their lives.

Story
If those pale blue eyes don’t catch your attention, then her gentle mannerisms will! I was impressed with her as soon as I took her out of her kennel! Tasha is a two-year-old 55 pound Alaskan husky that came from Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/15 as a stray. At first, she just moseyed around the yard taking her time investigating. Then she came back and stayed close to me. She would look up at me with those beautiful eyes of hers as though imploring me to adopt her. At one point she was across the yard when I called her, and she came running to me. She doesn’t appear to know the sit command but backs up in an attempt to do what I was asking of her. She does take treats gently. She is easy-going, gentle, sweet, friendly, and very well mannered. She walks very well on a leash. She went nose to nose with dogs that were friendly with her and ignored those that were not. Huskies love to run and in order to do so they’re known to try to escape. She will need a tall secure fence. Also, she will require frequent brushings. As gentle as she is she would most likely do very well with children. She wants to be an inside dog so she can love on her new family.

Story
Iris is a six month old 36 pound Alaskan Husky that came to the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 11/25. She’s not quite sure of what to make of the Shelter environment. She will need TLC and a slow introduction for her to become comfortable with you. After I spent time with her she untucked her tail and she even wagged it. She’s a real sweetheart with a gentle, calm, sweet nature. She’s well behaved and doesn’t jump on you. When I sat down she came to me. She didn’t appear to know the sit command nor was she interested in my treats. She did her business in the yard. Because she is not comfortable at the shelter she was hesitant about walking on a leash. With coaxing and praise she responded. She does respond well to praise! She was not interested in meeting other dogs. If you know anything about huskies you know they like to run. They are known in the dog world as escape artists. Therefore Iris will need a tall secure fence. Also huskies need to be brushed frequently. Oh, and even though she would enjoy having a yard to stretch her legs in, she would rather be an inside dog where she can cuddle and spend time with her new family.
