Buddy, a Medium-Sized Pet Ready to Adopt You as His New Owner

Buddy is a 3 year old terrier mix, super smart and sweet dog at the animal shelter in Texarkana. His owner surrendered him to the shelter, no reason given but they did say he is good with children and other animals. 

Buddy is so incredibly sweet and loves affection. His Animal ID # 223047 links to all of his information. He didn't try to jump up on me at all and when I asked him to sit, he did.

Watch Buddy interact with the kids. He loves them. He also likes to play fetch.

Dogs and cats are euthanized every week in our local shelter. It is up to the community to prevent it. Spay and neuter your pets. Volunteer to help educate citizens about the need to fix their animals. Share this post on your Facebook page and Tweet about it, too.

The shelter's adoption fees range from $40 to $144, depending on the gender and size of the animal or whether they have been spayed or neutered yet. You can also have your pet microchipped for only $20 at the shelter. That way if your pet is ever lost, he or she can be returned to you quickly.

The Animal Care and Adoption Center is located at 203 Harrison St., Texarkana, Ark., 71854 and is open Monday through Friday from 11AM and 5PM and Saturdays from 11AM to 2PM.
