Story

Meet Mia, an American Pit Bull/Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix that was brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 4/19. Mia is more than ready to leave the confines of the shelter after 3 months and settle into a home in which she will be cherished and loved. She weighs about 45 pounds, is 4-5 years old and is spayed. She came in looking as though she had not been well cared for with scrapes on her face, scruffy fur, some flaky scaly skin, and underweight, but with a daily healthy food and the care she has received she looks far more healthy. She has a moderate activity level and does jump on you some, though not excessively. She does fine on a leash. She has had at least one litter of pups. Mia is happy to receive treats and does so politely. She`s friendly and likes to receive loving attention. She`s a playful girl and enjoys toys. She found the cozy doggie bed in the room in which I did her eval and she enjoyed the soft and comfortable feel of it. This tail-wagging, lively gal would be thrilled to find her very own loving home in which she would be allowed to live inside because it seems highly probable that she has been a backyard dog. Won`t you please assist Mia in finding her dream home?

Story

I was drawn to Nia because I have had a Boston Terrier and her face reminded me of my Boston. Not only is she adorable, but she lives up to her name of Nia meaning bright. She’s definitely a bright shining star! Nia is a three-year-old 56 pound Staffordshire pit that came to the Mesquite animal shelter on 8/3 as a stray. She’s got a stocky, solid build. She could use some exercise and a diet to lose a few pounds. Her coat is shiny. She sits but not for treats as she did not partake in the treat I offered. She was whining and going to the door, and I suspect she was looking for her owners. She’s affectionate, sweet, calm, and gentle. She’s easy-going and just strolled around the yard and the laundry room. She sniffed other dogs without a problem and walks well on a leash. After the photo shoot, she warmed up and gave me kisses. She saved some for YOU! She’s a real lover, and would like to plop down next you or at your feet while you’re watching TV. She’s not particular about the program you watch as she just wants to be with her new family.

Story

I got carried away taking photos of Lance because he’s so cute and was so photogenic! The shelter has Lance listed as a Staffordshire Terrier. My Dog Scanner said he’s a miniature Bull Terrier and Dogo Argentino mix. He’s three years old and weighs 56 pounds. He came to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/18 as a stray. He’s got captivating big brown eyes, stand-up ears and is a low rider. Mix it all together and you have an adorable guy! I was met in his kennel with tail wags and from then on his tail never stopped wagging. He’s obviously a very happy guy. He was also alert keeping an eye on the goings-on beyond the gate. He sits for treats and takes them gently. He occasionally jumps on you but gets down with a sharp retort. He would wander out into the yard, and then come back and look at me. He then would repeat this behavior over and over. He wanted affirmation. He’s friendly and good-natured. He may be housebroken as he did his business as soon as he got out into the yard. He had a semi-strong pull on the leash. He wagged his tail meeting some of the dogs in the bay. Judging from the calluses on his elbows, I’m assuming that Lance has been mostly an outside dog. Lance would like to be an inside dog this time around. He would like to share family time with you. He would love to snuggle up next to you!

Story

(Dallas, Texas - Foster/Adopter desperately needed) King truly needs a hero, and we know that people with generous and kind hearts are out there. King is a playful guy, about 4.5 ~5 y & 40-45 lbs, so loving and content with whatever affection you'd give him. (a couple of videos in the Comment) King was abandoned and left alone in a small backyard run/kennel for 4 years exposed to all weather elements and confined in isolation and loneliness. We were so heartbroken seeing him carrying his bowl panting alone in the heat and dirt last summer, so Angie rescued him. Yet, without a foster, King's been living in a crate at a boarding facility for a year, and we desperately want him to have a chance to learn and enjoy living in a home! King's had several training sessions at the boarding facility, learned some basic commands and to trust humans, and is especially smitten by ladies. King's now a happy guy and loves loves the attention (& treats, of course). King enjoys a quiet life with NO other animal, being with humans, and feeling the breeze and sunlight on his face. King's content with carrying and chewing his toys by himself without the bother of the world. We really believe that a soul who suffered years of neglect and desolation deserves an understanding person/family to love him, and King'd give absolute devotion in return. King needs to be the only dog, is fixed, crate and house trained, and shots up to date. Please let us know if your home has a warm spot for King (for foster, Angie's Friends will provide everything that King needs). October 13, 2024, 11:35 pm

Story

Hello, friends! My name is Luna and I'm a sweet girl who is a homebody. When I'm not on a walk with my foster, you can find me playing with my kong, chewing on a bone, sunbathing, or napping! I can be a little shy and anxious. I get overstimulated easily by other dogs with big personalities, so I would do best as the only dog in your home. I need a strong handler who has the patience to help me build trust and independence by continuing to reinforce boundaries and structure. My foster mom says I'm really special, that I connect incredibly well with my caretaker when we're away from distractions and I feel safe. I would prefer a calm lifestyle where I get to decompress and relax at home. It would be nice if there aren't too many frequent guests around, that way I can settle into a routine. I can't wait to meet you!

Story

Hey there, I'm Bueno, and I'm here to steal your heart with my sweet and silly personality! First things first, let me tell you about my energy level-I like to think of myself as a happy-go-lucky kind of guy with a medium energy level. Whether I'm snoozing in my cozy bed or out on a walk, I'm just as content either way. But let me tell you, when it's time for an adventure, I'm all in! There's nothing I love more than sniffing all the smells and exploring new places. And don't even get me started on car rides-those are my absolute favorites! Just roll down the window, and I'm one happy pup. When I'm not out adventuring, you can usually find me soaking up the sun and catching some rays. Sunbathing is one of life's simple pleasures, don't you think? Oh, and let's not forget about playtime-I'm a big fan of toys, especially the squeaky kind! And this might really surprise you, but I love a bath and will even let you trim my nails without putting up a struggle. Now, when it comes to my living situation, I think I'd do best in a home without any other pets and with older children. I'm a friendly guy, but I prefer a calm and secure environment where I can feel relaxed and at ease. That's why it's important for me to have a strong leader who can help me feel safe and confident. Once I've built a trusted bond with my humans, I know I can be my best self and bring endless joy and love into their lives. So, what do you say? Are you ready to embark on this journey with me? Let's make memories, share snuggles, and have a whole lot of fun together! Forever happily yours, Bueno
