Mesa!
Mesa is a 1.5 yo Shepherd mix with a sleek, glossy black coat, white blaze on her chest & white tips to her tail & feet. Mesa is shy at first, but comes out of her shell to be a charming dog who likes ear rubs & sweet talk. She does well with all dogs, but would do best with a confident canine companion in her “furever” home. She has the leaping abilities of a gazelle, easily & gracefully clearing 4+ ft gates from a standstill when on her daily mission to gobble up the kitty kibble remnants (her guilty pleasure). She has come such a long way from the skinny, wormy puppy she was when she first came to the rescue and is more than ready for a home of her own💕

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
