Pets

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.

Alfie is just a brown dog and that is what caught my eye because I knew he would be passed over for more colorful dogs but this is what I learned about him yesterday. He is calm, sweet, smart and respectful. He also appears to be house trained.

There will be a variety of dogs and cats available for adoption on Saturday, April 18, at PetmSart in Texarkana. Because of the pending rain, the rescue groups will be set up inside the store so be sure to look from the front to the back.

Blaze is still at the animal shelter! He is so sweet and such a calm, loving dog. It is hard to believe that no one has adopted him yet. I hope you will help us find him a home or possibly find someone interested in sponsoring him so we can buy extra time to find a home for sweet Blaze.

On Tuesday, April 14, the Texarkana Animal League will host a fundraiser at Raising Cane's on Richmond Road in Texarkana, Texas.

There will be a variety of dogs and cats available for adoption on Saturday, April 11 at Petsmart in Texarkana. The weather should be sunshine and nice temps so check inside and outside for the rescue groups with their pets that are ready to go to new homes.

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!
