Take a tour of the animal shelter right from your desktop or mobile device. So many great animals needing homes. If you will share the video below, maybe we can get a few dogs new homes. The Animal Care and Adoption Center in Texarkana, Arkansas is the only shelter we have in town and the place that all of the strays go that are picked up by animal control officers or taken by citizens.

So often I feature the dogs at the animal shelter but there are also so many cats and kittens available for adoption. They have a cat room that is full of wonderful cats and kittens that you can watch play in their cat enclosure. We are still in the middle of kitten season and there are tons of babies still being born. Check out these adorable kittens.

Megan's vetting has been sponsored so her adoption fee will only be $40. Megan is good with other dogs, too. She loves to sniff around and check out the perimeter. She is a mix, possibly, shepherd. She is approximately 40 pounds and has been at the shelter since December of 2015.

This black lab boy was picked up as a stray in Texarkana. He is super sweet. He was covered in ticks and has a sore back left leg. He let me pull ears and paws with no issues. He is super sweet and not very old, I'm guessing around 3.

I have some good news and a little sad news too. Not every story gets a happy ending so when we get those, we should relish in the moment. Below I have updates on how you were able to help get strays dogs either adopted or reclaimed by their owners because so many folks shared the videos last week. There are also new videos showing dogs that have recently arrived to the shelter.

Bonnie is a Boxer mix that is less than 2 years old.  She was surrendered to the animal shelter by her owner in March, with no reason noted on the paper work but now it seems that reason is clear, Bonnie is pregnant. The poor girl is still very scared. She needs a place to go to have her babies. See my updated video below.
