Fireworks and Pets
Fireworks on the Fourth of July can be a lot of fun for us but it is a nightmare for our pets. The noise and excitement of the holiday can stress your pets out. All of the popping noises, light flashes and smells make many pets run away from home because they are trying to get away from all of the commotion. Keep your pets safe with the tips below.

For a limited time the Texarkana Friends of the Shelter is paying the vetting fees for dogs and cats adopted from our local animal shelter so your out of pocket cost to adopt right now is only $40 for dogs and $20 for cats. This is a limited time sponsorship that will end when the funds run out. The animal shelter is full.

Summertime is a great time to adopt a new dog or kitten since the kids are out of school and families usually have a little more time to help a new furry addition get adjusted to their new home. Adopting from a rescue is a great way to get the best match for your family.

Triton is still a puppy with a good ball-drive. His markings are some of the most unique mix of colors that I have ever seen. He appears to be a Catahoula Leopard mix which is actually the state dog of Louisiana. Triton loves to romp and play fetch. He loves people and runs back and forth to everyone in the lobby of the shelter.

Henry is our featured pet of the week from the animal shelter. He is around 3 years old and appears to be a shepherd mix. He acts like he is house trained, which means he is miserable having to stay on a kennel at the shelter and not get out to do his business.
