Pets

These videos were taken of dogs and cats at the animal shelter in Texarkana on Wednesday morning, April 8. My last round of videos helped to reunite a few dog owners with their lost pets so I decided to do another round of videos and attempted to get every dog and every cat that is at the shelter.

On Wednesday, April 8, you can get a special treat from Texas Roadhouse! Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and all that is asked is that you donate at least $5 for each lunch. You can get it to go or dine in. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

You still have time to sign up for the dog obedience training. The classes begin this Saturday. All breeds are accepted.

Dogs get out of their yards, some runaway, others disappear and some are stolen. Often these dogs (and cats, pigs, horses, goats and chickens) wind up at the animal shelter. That was good news for one family recently but on the same day it was sad news for another family.

This sweet girl looks to be a fairly young adult that is mixed with Rottweiler, Labrador and Shepherd. She is incredibly fabulous on a leash. She walked so calmly out of the shelter while all of the other dogs were barking and bouncing at the gate. She was great!

There will be a variety of dogs and cats available for adoption on Saturday, April 4 at Petsmart in Texarkana.

Texas Roadhouse is sponsoring a FREE lunch with a donation on Wednesday, April 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There were so many great dogs at the shelter when I went to visit this week that I couldn't just pick one. There were two hounds that had been surrendered by their owner. There was a sweet German Shepherd that was surrendered after she had already been spayed. Then I couldn't resist this gorgeous Great Pyrenees dog.

Multiple adult dogs, two litters of puppies and two wild hogs were seized from a Bowie County residence on Wednesday after a call to the sheriff's office was made by a concerned citizen.

Carson is a young, wire-haired terrier with a great personality. He loves people and other dogs.

Get your cowboy boots and hats dusted off and come on out to the first annual Fur Ball this Saturday night in Downtown Texarkana. The Texarkana Friends of the Shelter are hosting a Fur Ball to raise money for our local animal shelter, the Animal Care and Adoption Center, in Texarkana, Ark.

Shelby is a very sweet, laid back cat that is at our animal shelter in Texarkana. She has been sponsored by a caring person which means that her adoption fee is only $20. Her sponsor has paid for all of her vetting!
