This was one of the worst experiences i ever had with a shelter . Firstly we made an appointment to surrender our dog because we had to urgently move and the lady cashed us irresponsible since we couldn't keep our pet . both the lady managers on the phone are absolutely lacking when it comes to customer service. absolutely rude . absolutely disgusting ways of talking to people . anyways they gave us an appointment date later than our move in date so we had a WRITTEN AGREEMENT that our neighbor would watch the dog until we could come back and stop it off (which is what a male staff member told me to ) and they claimed we were abandoning the dog ? and then harassed us repeatedly. and gave us 72 hours to rehome the dog so we did and the girl we gave the dog too ended up bringing him to the shelter bc he didnt get alone with her cats . they called me(the shelter) and said if we didn’t come get him we would be charged with abandonment. i had to send multiple screenshots and proof that we rehomed . and she never apologized and never even once listened to me . i would honestly save your time and energy and go somewhere else . awful staff, untrained , have no sense of customer service .

Not sure what to think about this place. While I hope they have the animals best interest in mind I'm not sure after being accused of things I did not do like abandoning my dog. Don't want to say they're bad people But I have issues of being accused of things I didn't do . That being said My dog It seems to have been well-cared-for. Don't care much for the lady at the counter But like everything else do you research before you go there. However I will say That my dog was gone for 2 months and Change to a been well-cared-for It is unfortunate That people Have to deal with lost animals and rude customers but They have a hard job caring for a lot of animals that are either unwanted mistreated Or anything else. But you shouldn't have to make accusations that you can't backup that's all I have to say

The lady who answered the phone here was so rude and tried to scold me for not being able to keep my cat. I had to hang up on her because of how horrible she was being. Worst customer service I have ever received.

I was attempting to take my cats this afternoon to surrender them because I am moving and I have nowhere to live. I was immediately rudely talked down to by the lady in the front. She’s very rude and not very helpful at all. She was upset as soon as I walked in the building with my cats! I was unaware that i needed an appointment to surrender a pet. Every time I tried to talk she kept talking over me! She is very unprofessional and rude! I wouldn’t recommend going to this place at all!

Questions & Answers

Does anyone know where I could get a nice free dog for an ederly mother, so she want be lonely and one that perferbly doesn't get to big?

Marcel | Oct 12, 2018
Lady Bloom | Oct 12, 2019

@April Givins, while a rude way of putting it yes, it's not wrong. If they haven't the money to purchase the dog then they most likely haven't the money to help their elderly mother care for it which will likely be the case. Animals are expensive shots, registration, annual visits, food, gear, are the minimums. It is a costly undertaking. If you want a pet look into real costs of owning one before hand.

I have five puppies of two months and I am moving from city and I can not take them with me I can leave them to put them in adoption.

Jr Gamer | Oct 12, 2017
Clodia Mandes | Oct 12, 2018

You can take them to the animal shelter in your city. Do Google for your address. It's called "surrender." It means that you can't have them and you deliver them to the city so that someone can adopt them.

ophelia • | Oct 11, 2021
Megan McGowan | Oct 11, 2021

Animals come and go from shelters, so there are always new pets. Many shelters including Mesquite and Allen do accept small pets like bunnies, guinea pigs, and I've even seen chickens at a few shelters. It's impossible to say whether there are bunnies available on any given day. Your best bet is to call the shelter and ask, or better yet-- pay them a visit. Mesquite Animal Shelter is open to the public again post-COVID, and so is Allen's shelter. In fact, I just saw several adorable bunnies in need of good homes when I was at the Allen shelter looking to adopt a kitten or young cat about 2 weeks ago. So to answer the question: It's possible that you may find a great bunny at Mesquite!

Honestly if you have a degree in animal science and over eighteen they should bring you in as a manager. If they don't hire you it's their loss. They are extremely busy and could use all the help they can get. 😎

Judy Cason | Oct 11, 2021

They are closed to the public Wednesdays and Sundays. You can take your dog up there and fill out some paperwork for an owner surrender, but I would call first to make sure they have room and possibly eliminate some of the paperwork. Have you reached out to any rescues?

I'm looking for a small dog preferably a duchton. How much are your dogs for adoption.

Oralia Balderas | Oct 12, 2019
B G | Oct 12, 2019

Varies by how they came in. Most are $100. That includes shots and spay or neuter. You can add on a microchip for $10. I highly recommend doing that. Dogs that were already spayed or neutered when they came in are $35. And dogs that are on the Urgent list are half off.

What do I do if I see muni dog on the adoption page she ran away today Andy i saw her tonight after they closed we don’t have paper for her or the money to adopt her I don’t wanna lose her

Trey Morris | Oct 12, 2019
Anesa DiAngelo | Oct 12, 2019

If you dont have any vet paperwork for her then that proves that you haven't taken care of her and she deserves better. She obviously ran away for a reason. Without proof of ownership you will need to pay to adopt her. At least now she will get vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. PSA, dont get a dog unless you are prepared to provide it with proper medical care, love and attention.

In the city of Mesquite they rent you the cage for the cats, you only leave a deposit and when you grab the cat, you return the cage and you can give the cat too. Check to see if your city does the same.

Karen Short | Oct 12, 2018
Brooksie Reinhard | Oct 12, 2018

You could call them. They might be able to come pick him up, or if not, you could take him into their shelter to surrender him. I do believe there is a small fee to help them cover the cost of food and care. I have been to this shelter a couple times and they seem to handle the animals they have very well. They truly care about their charges.

Tamara Rivera | Oct 12, 2018

So sad...many go to rescue groups though. They only have so much room, after all. I hate that they get euthanized, but in my opinion, that is better than them roaming the streets with no food, hard to fine water, suffering in the weather, other dogs fighting with them, and no human love. Dogs crave human love, and without it, they are miserable! Its VERY sad that they have to be euthanized, but we have to take into account everything I mentioned.
