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.

Ranger's owner surrendered him to the animal shelter but no reason was given. They said that he is a Lab-Mastiff mix and that he is a very sweet natured dog. He tested negative for heartworms which is awesome. He is not a puppy so no worry of things getting chewed up.

Our pet of of the week is an adorable, German Shepherd male puppy. He is approximately 4 months old and would love a home with a family or a single person. You can see him at our local animal shelter in Texarkana.

Lucky is a young, Flat-Coated Retriever. She is full of personality and bounds of playful energy that quickly are worked out with a few games of Frisbee and ball tossing. I believe she could be a great Frisbee catching dog with a little bit of work and a good thrower.

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.

Malta is a dutch shepherd mix spayed female. She is a fun-loving, water dog. The videos below show this is a super fun dog. She plays Frisbee and loves to jump in the pool. She is approximately 1 year old. Adopt her today for just $40.

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.

Mikey is a 6-year-old beagle basset hound mix that was an owner surrender and now lives at the Animal Care and Adoption Center while he waits for someone to adopt him. He has a wonderfully fun personality.

This very large and very sweet Rottweiler is a special needs boy. Zeus is deaf and has some hip dysplasia. He was given up to the animal shelter in Texarkana by his owner this past April. He is a loving dog and deserves a caring owner who can manage his needs.
