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
Hello! My name is Chantelle & I`m an extremely loveable girl. I`m pretty mellow & I`ve never met a dog or human who I couldn`t befriend before we parted. The girls here at the shelter like to put me with some of the more shy/skittish dogs so that I can help them come out of their shells & see that it`s okay to show their authentic personalities.I absolutely love receiving love & attention from the staff & they think that I would do really well in a home with kids & other dogs, due to my calm, sweet demeanor. If you think I may be the missing link in your family please come down to the shelter to meet me & witness my dazzling personality in real-time!

These pups are in Mesquite, Texas too!

Story
Are you ready to play? Spice is! Spice is a bundle of joy and constant motion! She is a four month old 19 pound (still growing) Siberian husky that came to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/15 as a stray. She is cream colored and has vibrant, blue eyes. She’s jubilant, playful, and somewhat comical. She will need to be provided with toys. She can entertain herself with them by tossing them in the air and then chasing them. She will need an active family and a yard for her to expend her energy in. She doesn’t appear to know the sit command. She does jump on you to get your attention. She likes to have her ears scratched. She didn’t have a problem meeting other dogs. She walked okay on a leash. Huskies like to run and therefore frequently try to escape. Spice will need a high secure fence. She will also need frequent brushings. She wants to be an inside dog mostly to enjoy family time with you. She will definitely add spice to your life!

Story
Zoolander could win a contest for being an outstandingly attractive dog. His soft cream coloring, hazel eyes and big stand-up ears make him a stand out! He could also win a personality contest. He’s a one-year-old 45 pound Canaan/Alaskan Husky dog that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/24 as a stray. He is already fixed! I was met in his kennel with tail wags indicating he’s a happy boy. When he got out in the yard, he investigated the yard thoroughly. He knows the sit command and takes treats gently. He then found a ball and brought it to me. He loved playing fetch. He didn’t want to stop. He stayed close. He seeks affection. He’s sweet, gentle, and cautiously friendly. He met the other dogs in the bay with tail wags. He jumped back when one barked at him. He walks fine on a leash. He did his business as soon as he got out into the yard. If you know anything about huskies you know they like to run and in so doing sometimes escape. He will need a tall secure fence. He will also need to be brushed frequently. Zoolander wants to be an inside dog mostly. The Super Bowl is coming up and he would love to watch the game with you. He promises to root for whatever team you are for!

Story
Meet sweet girl Kira, a Siberian Husky mix picked up as a stray by one of our officers and brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/31. She weighs 49 pounds and is about a year old. She was spayed during her time at the shelter. This pup is one well-mannered, calm and gentle girl with a mellow personality. And yet she is lively and active, attempting a couple of times during the eval to entice me to play with her. She will look at you with those imploring beautiful blue eyes and it won`t take long for you to fall head over heels in love! She doesn`t appear to know any commands and wasn`t especially interested in toys or balls. She is friendly and liked being petted and loved on. Kira walks well on a leash. She enjoys treats, though doesn`t know to sit for them. It looks as though her owners have taken care of her nicely and yet here she is in a city shelter. She would do best living as an inside dog and being a part of the family rather than outside where she will not get much interaction. Huskies are known to be escape artists (especially if they are stuck in the yard) so she will need to be in a home with a high secure fence. Kira will need to be brushed on a regular basis. Oh, but the payoff for all of the care will be a loving and devoted companion.
