Roxy is a one year old border collie and beagle mix that has already been spayed and she is house trained too! She is currently at the animal shelter in Texarkana. She is a very sweet and fun pup. She plays well with others and even a pig!

I feel pretty sure this was the first time that Roxy has ever met a potbellied pig and she did great! I, on the other hand, I did not do so well. While I was trying to shoot the video of Roxy playing in the exercise area at the shelter, Porkchop the pig got a little too close for my comfort as you will see shortly into the video below.

Back to Roxy, she would make a wonderful companion for a dog, child or adult. Her ultra soft fur would be great to cuddle with on the couch with and her unique colors make her a beautiful sight to see.

The Animal Care and Adoption Center in Texarkana, Ark., is our only animal shelter in town. They have a few hundred dogs and cats that need to be reclaimed or adopted. Room is always an issue at a city animal shelter. We feature an animal each week to help get the word out about many of these great pets.

You can also sponsor a dog to save a life by paying for the dog's vetting. The cost varies depending on the size. Call the shelter to get the price range at 870-773-6388.

T-shirts are available at the animal shelter now! They are only $18 and will help support the animals at the shelter. Thanks for supporting our shelter animals!

It is so unfortunate that there are thousands of dogs that are euthanized every year in our local shelter when there are so many dogs that would make fabulous pets. Please help us make a difference by spreading the word. 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 micro-chipped for only $20 right at the shelter! That way if your pet is ever lost, he can be returned to you quickly.

If you would like to foster a dog contact the shelter to get information about dog rescues in our area that can help.

The Animal Care and Adoption Center is located at 203 Harrison St., Texarkana, Ark. 71854 and is open Monday through Saturday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. 870-773-6388.
