Meet Squishy, a terrier/pit bull mix who weighs 53 pounds and is 2-and-a-half years old. With his brown/brindle coat, he is a majestic example of his breed, but it totally hasn’t gone to his head. He is one of the chillest dogs in the shelter and is nothing but nice to everyone. He is super playful and friendly with the other dogs in the play yard and does well with little humans, too. Squishy is currently housed at the SPCA of Texas Dallas Animal Care Center, so no appointment is necessary to meet him.
