texarkana animal shelter

It's finally here. Oktoberfest is hitting Downtown Texarkana this Saturday. It was previously rescheduled because of rain but this Saturday's forecast is calling for great festival weather.

Oktoberfest, an arts and crafts festival with food and craft beers from all over Arkansas, is happening in downtown Texarkana on Saturday, Nov. 14.

This week's featured pet is a hunting dog whose time is beyond up at the shelter. Jake needs your help to share his information so he can be adopted into a loving home. Please help Jake by sharing his information on your social media. A simple click on the share icons below could easily be what saves this wonderful dog.

This week's featured pet is an adult shepherd mix from the shelter. He is already neutered, which means the adoption fee is less than $60. Sarge is good on a leash and loves affection. He is a great guard dog and no one will arrive at your home without him letting you know that you have company. His bark is scary but he is a sweetheart.

Because rain and stormy weather are expected this weekend, Oktoberfest has been rescheduled. The event is now set for 10AM on Saturday, November 14, at Front Street Plaza in downtown Texarkana.

Three dogs at the animal shelter will soon be taking a trip out of the wrong door if they are not adopted or moved into foster homes quickly. Spike, Candy and Dotty deserve a chance to have a life beyond the confinement of the animal shelter. Please share their video and photos to help find great homes for each of these sweet dogs.

Ethan is a very smart young dog. I am shocked that he is still at the shelter. Ethan is a handsome buckskin Pit Bull. He is young and laid back, making him a good choice for a family or first time dog owner.

Mouse is a Terrier mix, small sized dog, that is approximately one and a half years old. When he first came to the shelter on January 23, he was very shy but he has now worked through that issue and is very outgoing. He is fun and loving with a joyful personality. He likes to cuddle, he is good with young kids. Mouse is also heartworm free.

Good news - Cherry, our provide a pet a pad featured pet from last week was adopted. Bad news - several other dogs are running out of time.

Very friendly! Loves to play! Cherry looks to be Bull Terrier mix, you know, like the Target dog. Cherry has some independence which is great because she can entertain herself with dog toys for hours but when you call her, she will quickly trot to your side.
