These two Indian Ringneck parakeets just can't seem to keep their beaks off each other.

DJango is our featured pet of the week from the animal shelter in Texarkana. He is a young, mixed breed pup that would make a great family pet. He likes to romp and play. He is a fun-loving boy.

Sweet Lady J is a cattle dog mix. She walks great on a leash, knows sit and down, too. She is a wonderful dog with a fabulous sweet disposition. Watch the video where she is put through the paces. It looks as though she knows hand commands.

Zinger is a young, brindle Dachshund mix. He is absolutely adorable. The marble type coloring is very unique. He loves being with people and gets along fantastic with other dogs. He would make a great family dog and you have enough time to get him ready for a surprise for the kiddos on Christmas.

Obo loves to be petted and presses his head into your hand when you reach through the kennel fence. His personality is sweet with people and the boss with dogs.

He is a great guard dog and no one will arrive at your home without him letting you know that you have company. His bark is scary but he is a sweetheart.
