Story

This attractive girl is Bella, a mixed breed surrendered on 11/19 to the Mesquite Animal Shelter. Reason given for the surrender is that the owners are moving. Bella weighs 58 pounds and is about 2 years old. Owner stated that she lived inside and was good with their children ages 9, 11, and 16. She met me at the kennel door with happy tail wags, and walked nicely on a leash to the yard. In the yard I noted that she was restless, pacing, occasionally whining, and looking out the gate into the parking lot. I really feel as though she was looking for her people to come back to pick her up and take her home. It was heartbreaking to observe this behavior. She is uneasy in the shelter. She was not interested in the toys, balls or treats I offered her. Bella was friendly with me and allowed me to pet her. But again, her focus was on wanting out of the shelter and back with her people. Do you have place in your heart and home for this sweetheart? Would you allow her to live inside, stay committed to her and give her plenty of TLC?

Story

Meet Strawberry! She is a 2 yr old spayed female Australian Cattle Dog that weighs 45lbs. She came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/23. She is a beauty! Being at the shelter with noise has made her a bit uncomfortable. Once she is out in a quieter environment her loving personality shines. She will need more decompression time as tho she likes to be petted but still cautious of what is happening around her. Due to this it would be best she be in a home with older children, and being familiar with the breed would be a plus. She is also a very smart girl. She knows the sit command, takes treats gently and loves to have you play with her. Each time I threw a toy, she would bring it back, drop it near me and look at me and the toy to tell me to throw it again. With her breed, having activities to keep her mentally busy, going for walks is just what she needs. On her right back knee it does protrude a bit and she will lay it to the side. She has been to a vet and confirmed there is no damage, possibly a birth defect. Further details can be provided by the shelter. She did not show any interest in the other dogs barking at her, but if there will be another dog in the home, please ask the shelter a dog test. This sweet girl deserves to have a loving home where she has a secured backyard to play in, but live indoors it what sweet Strawberry deserves. Please come meet her!

Story

This stunningly attractive with a cute stubby tail and bright eyes is Dixie, weighing 31 pounds and at 11 months of age. My Dog Scanner app suggests the following in her breed mix: Aussie Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog and Aussie Cattle Dog. She walks very nicely on a leash. As I walked her through the lobby, she wanted to stop and greet every person she saw. Dixie is very friendly and affectionate. She actually seeks out loving attention. She wanted to climb in my lap and was so thrilled with having her hiding quarters scratched! She is playful and likes toys, especially bouncy balls! She is spunky, enthusiastic, and fun loving. She does jump on you but not excessively so. This is a highly adoptable dog who would be a wonderful pet with just the right home situation. She has adjusted well to the shelter environment and is not timid, fearful, or uneasy. There is so much to like about this sweet girl with her adorable face and cute stubby tail! Can you help Dixie out of the shelter and on the way to her forever home?

Story

Lucy came to us as an owner surrender. Sadly, she was never spayed and kept having litter after litter. We agreed to take the puppies as long as they gave us Lucy as well. We wanted her to finally have a home where she could be a cherished pet. Lucy is an extremely sweet and happy girl. She gets along with dogs of all sizes, cats and she adores children. She is in great shape! Our vet thought she was only 3 years old because her teeth are pearly white. However, Lucy is 9 years young We think she would be a fabulous companion to a lucky human. ##1622253##

Story

This boys story is so sad. His family left him in a backyard and when he was "too much" they dumped in on neighbors. When the neighbors didn't want him, they dumped him. He is a very scared boy with a lot of energy that he doesn't know what to do with. His foster mom gets frustrated with him too. Why do we tell you this....because he deserves better! He deserves a family who will be patient with him and teach him right from wrong. Teach him that humans aren't scary. Teach him to trust. Once he knows you, he is the funniest, sweetest kid but because everyone gets frustrated with him, he retreats. He wants to play with the other dogs in his foster home but they don't want to play with him because he is young and they are older. This boy has been failed by every single person that ever had him and that time has come to an end. Not only are we looking for an active family with older kids and another animal, but we are looking for another foster home for him because he needs more. Dogs aren't stuffed. They are living, breathing, beautiful creatures who when taught how to live in this big scary world, provide the most comfort we will ever know. Buddy Holly is crate and potty trained. He LOVES rides in the car and walks. He does require a harness and collar when walking. He is so smart and sweet, just needs a patient and loving home so he can thrive. Not frustration because you're too busy to put in the time and effort. Buddy is very young. He is a big boy but still very young. Please consider adopting Buddy Holly. He is the most beautiful blue eyed boy!

Story

This is Lily, she is a very sweet dog and loves lots of attention. She is very shy when encountering other dogs. Most of the time she will tuck her tail when dogs attempt to play with her. She is the complete opposite with humans. She will be very friendly with just about any new person! Unfortunately with my work schedule I am not home most of the time. I would like her to find a home were she will get to spend lots of time with her owner and get the attention she deserves. She is house broken and rarely has accidents inside.
