Story

Meet Eva! She is a 2 yr old female spayed terrier pitbull mix that weighs 56lbs, and is so adorable! She came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 5/21. Eva has such a spirit and outgoing personality. She is so excited to be out of her kennel and on her way to play in the kennel yard. She does jump with excitement, but once her energy is out, she loves to lay down on the floor or a fluffy puppy bed and give you a big smile. She is friendly, sweet and very observant. She walks well on a leash, loves treats, and takes them gently. She is a beauty and dreams of finding her own loving family that can provide her a secured backyard to run and play in, but most importantly live indoors and cuddle close to her human companions. She didn’t show any interest in the other dogs that were barking at her, but we do ask if you have another dog in the home to please be sure to ask the shelter for a dog test. Come meet this shining star of a pup as she will charm you just as she has me.

Story

If Mimi could talk, she would tell you she doesn’t know what to make of all the noise at the Mesquite Animal Shelter. She’d tell you she wants to be in a home where she’s loved on so she can relax. Please grant her wish. You can tell she’s so sweet. Mimi is an eight month old 43 pound shiny silver and white terrier pit that cane to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 8/3 as a stray. When I first met her in her kennel, she was conflicted. She would run to the front, all happy and friendly, and then quickly retreat to the back of her kennel and then do the same thing again. When walking out of the kennel, she would attempt to walk between my legs for security. She relaxed some out in the yard, but we couldn’t stay there because it was getting too hot for her. She was smart enough when she went in the laundry room to find the most comfortable comforter to relax on. Her tail does wag and she does want to make friends. She wants and needs to be an inside dog. She will cuddle up next to you on the couch or at your feet in her own bed.

Mocha is looking for a lap. Are you looking for a lap dog with a cute face and sweet personality? Mocha is a three year-old 54 pound American terrier pit that came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 8/5 as a stray. She has very recently had a litter and hasn’t even dried up yet! She looks healthy, but I did notice that she has calluses on her elbows indicating she’s probably spend a lot of time on concrete. If she could have one wish she would wish that she would be adopted by a loving family that would keep her as an inside dog! She promises to be a good girl. She doesn’t seem to know the sit command, but she is highly motivated by treats, so she should be easy to train. She has a happy tail. It never stopped wagging! Mocha is friendly, easy-going, sweet, loving, and well mannered. She doesn’t jump on you. She comes when you call her. She was not interested in meeting other dogs. She did her business as soon as she got out into the yard. She does have a strong pull on the leash.

Story

Brandy is a wiggly waggly, happy girl and she’ll be even happier when she gets her furever home! She is a 6 year old 60 pound American terrier pit that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 8/15 as a stray. She is highly motivated by treats meaning she should be easy to train. At first she jumps up, but then she sits….even though she doesn’t remain in that position for very long. She stays close to her human friend. She does have a mammary gland that has not receded, but it doesn’t seem to bother her. She is very curious and investigates her surroundings. She’s friendly, happy, eager, and affectionate. When I had her outside, she stood by the door wanting to go in. It’s too hot for dogs to be out in this weather. She wants to be a mostly inside dog so she can hang out with her new family. She did her business when she got out into the yard. She walks OK on a leash. She wagged her tail when she went by other dogs in their kennels.

Story

Hi! My name is Lonnie. I am a 1 yr old neutered male terrier mixed breed and weigh 50lbs. I am also microchipped. I came to the rescue from the Mesquite Animal Shelter. I was pretty shy. With plenty of ❤️ , pets and treats, my foster family, I realize they are here to take care of me until I find my own loving home. I walk great on a leash. When asked to sit, I do, and get a treat, which I take gently. I love stuffed toys but my favorite thing to do is to chase balls. Spending time with my foster family is really terrific! I love to be close, cuddly, be petted and I give great kisses!!
