Dakota is a young, gorgeous terrier mix pup. She is lovable and so sweet. You can see in her video how fast she is too but then she immediately slows down for a little lovin'. There is no adoption fee at the shelter through the end of the year!

Dakota walks great on a leash and was very calm when I took her out of the kennel at the shelter. Now is the time to adopt that cat or dog you have wanted from the animal shelter in Texarkana. Add a pet to the family because from now until Christmas, there are NO ADOPTION FEES at the Animal Care and Adoption Center. All animals must still be vetted prior to leaving the shelter, but there is assistance available to qualified adopters if you need a little help.

She did not dart around but walked very super easy to the front door.

She is the perfect size too! She probably weighs around 30 pounds.

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 blog on your Facebook page, 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.
