Because rain and stormy weather are expected this weekend, Oktoberfest has been rescheduled. The event is now set for 10AM on Saturday, November 14, at Front Street Plaza in downtown Texarkana.

Three dogs at the animal shelter will soon be taking a trip out of the wrong door if they are not adopted or moved into foster homes quickly. Spike, Candy and Dotty deserve a chance to have a life beyond the confinement of the animal shelter. Please share their video and photos to help find great homes for each of these sweet dogs.

Oktoberfest is coming to Texarkana this month. It's an arts and crafts festival with food and craft beers from all over Arkansas.

Bag up your unworn shoes and bring them to PetSmart this weekend to help the shelter animals. Clean out those closets and look under your bed for shoes to donate to a great cause. Those old, still wearable shoes you will never wear again can help out a furry friend at the Animal Care and Adoption Center in Texarkana. The more shoes collected, the more money raised for the shelter.

A variety of dogs and cats will be available for adoption on Saturday, Sept. 19, at PetSmart in Texarkana. Dog rescue groups will be set up throughout the store so be sure to look from the front to the back.

Odie is a gorgeous Catahoula dog. He has an even temperament. He is known as the "lazy dog" at the shelter but trust me, this boy has enough energy to do whatever you have in mind for the day. He is just pretty laid back the rest of the time.

You will often see posts and videos on our station website. Have you ever wondered what happened to the dogs? I have some happy tails stories to give you a great feeling from sharing articles and videos from the animal shelter.

Stop by Gusano's Chicago Style Pizzeria on Richmond Road Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. to help out the Boxer Rescue of Texarkana.

Today's featured pet is an adorable, sweet puppy. He came into the shelter a week or so ago and was spunky but now he is not. It could be for many different reasons, some being very simple to fix and others may require more expense and recovery time. The shelter does not have the funds to take dogs to the vet so he will need to be rescued to be saved.

This Saturday come by PetSmart in Texarkana and check out all of the small, medium and large breed dogs that will be there looking for new homes. Then swing by the cat room and say hello to all of the sweet faces on the other side of the window. The cats are up for adoption, too!

Matron came to the shelter with babies, adorable babies. Those little ones have since been adopted but momma dog Matron is still waiting for her ticket to freedom.
