The Mesquite, in conjunction with San Antonio Humane Society,  posts a Pet of the Week for the campus community to meet adoptable pets in the San Antonio area. 

Meet Cassius! Cassius was taken it at our receiving facility at Animal Care Services and is now happy to call the SAHS his temporary home. Cassius is a sweet and friendly boy who loves to be close to people. He is also very playful and is always up for a game of fetch, especially if the item being retrieved is a squeaky toy! Cassius will make a wonderful companion to any family with a lot of love to give. If you’re looking to snuggle up with a new mellow and wonderful friend, adopt Cassius today! While Cassius has already been neutered, please remember to spay/neuter your pets to help ensure every dog and cat born has a home waiting for them.
