Name: Mesa Age: 3 years Breed: Labrador Retriever mix Size: 40 lbs Adoption Application: https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 Contact: transport@hssm.org This 3-year-old girl doesn’t walk into a room—Mesa bounces into it with full goofy energy and a tail that never stops moving. She is the definition of a happy heart with legs. Her favorite game in the world is fetch, and she takes it very seriously—until she doesn’t, because she gets distracted mid-run making the funniest faces and flinging those little paws everywhere like she’s performing a comedy show just for you. And those big, soulful, googly eyes? They lock onto yours and it’s an instant connection every single time. She’s a perfect medium size, car-seat ready and road-trip approved, and she’s heartworm negative and ready for her next adventure. She can be a little unsure when facing new things, but give her a moment and you’ll see her curiosity and confidence start to shine through. Other dogs? Yes, please—especially the ones who love to run. She’s happiest when she’s zooming, playing, and living her best goofy life alongside a buddy who can match her energy. This girl isn’t polished. She isn’t perfect. She’s better—she’s real. A lovable, silly, wide-eyed goofball who just wants someone to laugh with her, throw the ball one more time, and love her exactly as she is.
