Pets

The Texarkana Arkansas Board of Directors met last night. There were a lot of Texarkana citizens, including representatives from local animal rescue organizations who spoke up about the large number of stray and abandoned dogs and cats in our area.

If you are a dog pet owner living in Texas don't forget there is a new law that goes into effect on January 18, that bans chaining your dog up outdoors.

If you have a dog or a cat then you know that owning a pet is a big responsibility and it can get expensive too. That's why you should take advantage of the 5th Annual Bark in the Park event in Texarkana and get free rabies shots for your dogs and cats.

If you are looking for a new furry four-legged family member then be sure to check out this local dog rescue. Passion for Pooches specializes in small dog breeds but they have a few larger breeds too and the rescue needs your help.

Have you met Donder? Donder is a sweet female Basset Hound that has been at the Texarkana Animal Care and Adoption Center waiting for her fur-ever home since last year.

It won't be long now the much-needed new kennels are just about three months away from being completed at the new Animal Care and Adoption Center in Texarkana.

The Bureau of Land Management is holding a wild horse and burro event in Texarkana at the Four State Fairgrounds on Friday, July 16, and Saturday, July 17.

As temperatures start climbing for the summer months the Texarkana Texas Police have issued a reminder about leaving your pet inside a vehicle. Did you know that it is illegal in Texarkana to leave a pet in your car unattended in the warmer months?

I love cats. I've loved them ever since I was a child watching Born Free. But to see a tiger roaming a neighborhood in Houston? Well, I would've been pretty nervous and I would've defiantly stayed inside and watched from a window.
