Mesquite

Meet Mesquite — the little guy with a big heart and just a hint of mystery. At 11 pounds and one year old, this handsome Chihuahua isn’t here to set the world on fire, but he’ll definitely spark something special once you earn his trust. Like the rugged desert tree he’s named after, Mesquite may seem a little guarded at first, but give him time and he’ll show you just how strong, loyal, and sweet he really is.<br/><br/>Mesquite came into rescue with his buddies Phlox and Milkweed — clearly, this boy travels in excellent company. He’s the quiet type who watches from the sidelines before deciding it’s safe to join the fun. Once he does, though, you’ll find he’s got a soft spot for gentle voices, kind hands, and anything that smells remotely like treats.<br/><br/>He’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccines, and his 4DX test was negative for heartworm and tick-borne diseases — so this boy’s got a clean bill of health to go with his clean conscience.<br/><br/>Mesquite is ready to put down roots with a patient, loving family who understands that the best relationships take a little time to grow. Once he knows you’re his person, you’ll have a loyal companion as steady and warm as the desert sun.<br/><br/>Want to meet him?
