Animal Videos

Visit a lemonade stand in Texarkana today to support our local animal shelter. Make a donation for a glass of lemonade on Monday, July 25, from 11:30AM to 1PM and again from 5- 6PM at the corner of McKnight and Windmere in Texarkana, Texas. All of the proceeds from the lemonade stand will benefit the Animal Care and Adoption Center.

So imagine this, you are a bike rider, you and your friends are going to take part in the Cape Argus Tour in South Africa and the day before you decide to take a warm-up ride down to the Cape of Good Hope on the Southern tip of Africa. Somewhere along the way you pick up a new friend.

I don't know about you but we're working our way through another week full of Monday's around here. I stumbled across this video earlier today and was just in awe of these magnificent creatures.

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

Ready for an aww story? Meet Mosha. Mosha is a magnificent elephant that resides at the MaeYao National Reserve in Thailand. She is about 10 years old, according to the accompanying story with the YouTube video below.

Back in 2010 Damian Aspinall had a chance to reunite with a gorilla that had been reintroduced to the wild 5 years before. The video will amaze you. I believe my throat lumped just a bit, but don't tell anyone, it's a little embarrassing.

This week's featured pet is an adult shepherd mix from the shelter. He is already neutered, which means the adoption fee is less than $60. Sarge is good on a leash and loves affection. 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.

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.

Ethan is a very smart young dog. I am shocked that he is still at the shelter. Ethan is a handsome buckskin Pit Bull. He is young and laid back, making him a good choice for a family or first time dog owner.

Good news - Cherry, our provide a pet a pad featured pet from last week was adopted. Bad news - several other dogs are running out of time.

Ruby is a beautiful brindle pup that looks to be mixed with some sort of smaller breed, possible terrier. When she first came into the shelter she was very skinny and shy. Now she is playful and loves to give hugs and kisses. She doesn't always come up to the front of the kennel and in dim light, you may miss that she is even in the kennel!

All of these dogs are at the shelter in Texarkana hoping their owners come for them soon. Even the dogs that were surrendered by their owners are still hoping they will get to go home again soon.
