Didn't get what you wanted for Christmas? Go by PetSmart on Saturday, Dec. 26 and check out the pets available for adoption.

Several dog rescues will have many different dog breeds available for adoption with approved application. There will be many dogs to choose from. Cats are also available to adopt from the cat room at PetSmart.

Texarkana Animal League will host this adoption event. Little Paws Rescue and Passion for Pooches Rescue will also be at this event. If your family has been asking for a pet, now is a great time to make that happen.

All dogs and many puppies have been spayed or neutered and are current on vaccinations. Occasionally, puppies have been vaccinated, but not yet spayed or neutered. In these cases, a sterilization agreement is required as part of the adoption contract.
