About Mesa

Mesa is a stunning 3-year-old Heeler/Shepherd mix weighing around 55 pounds. After too long in a shelter, she is now thriving in foster care in Colorado, ready to find her forever family. What truly stands out about Mesa is her affectionate and loyal nature. She loves being part of family activities, whether it’s a lively walk or a cozy evening at home. Having transitioned well into foster life, she is house trained, sleeps soundly at night, and behaves well in a crate. Mesa enjoys walks on a leash and is friendly with other dogs. Her resilience is remarkable; despite her past in the shelter, she eagerly embraced the comforts of home life. Mesa loves adventures and has bravely handled outings to baseball games and community events. When it comes to cats, she has made progress but might be better suited to a home without them, unless there are confident, dog-savvy cats and an owner willing to continue her training. Mesa is on the lookout for a family that cherishes shared experiences, whether it’s running errands, enjoying neighborhood walks, or just cuddling on the couch. She has so much love to give and is ready for her next chapter. Could you be the one to give Mesa the loving home she deserves?
