Hoss is a bundle of fun. He is a Brindle Boxer Mix who loves to romp and enjoys affection. He comes when called. His personality is joyful. When he runs he is super fast! He could be your best bud.

These dogs at our local animal shelter will be PUT TO SLEEP...euthanized--killed if not adopted or taken into foster homes by the close of business on Saturday, June 14. That is THIS SATURDAY -- PLEASE HELP!!! Many great dogs that are currently at the Texarkana Arkansas Animal Care and Adoption Center (aka Texarkana Animal Shelter) are in danger of dying this weekend if you do not do something to

This male Chartreux mix has his cat routine down. He's slick and cool except for when it comes to jumping up on window sills (watch the video for that)! But this guy did not get his name for just being good at being a cat. Romeo loves his humans. He wants attention, affection and affirmation whenever you are willing to hand it to him. This guy is the perfect snuggle buddy.  All Romeo is missing is

Leisel is a beautiful female lab mix that is at our animal shelter in Texarkana. She walks fantastic on a leash--as if she has had a lot of training. She is a very calm dog to be so young. Her estimated age is two years old. She would make an excellent friend and companion! She does not bark--a very quiet dog. She loves to run and play but is also down to earth and gentle.

Here are some videos that were taken on May 14, 2014 at our animal shelter in Texarkana. Please take a moment to look through these videos to see if you recognize any of the dogs. They are all downstairs which means they are not on the adoption floor and may never make it that far.

Rhyme is very friendly! He loves people and other dogs. He is a bit calmer than most small dogs of his breed although he does still have plenty of energy to keep up with the family. He is a lot of fun!

Pikachu is a male orange tabby and is pretty friendly. Pikachu is a curious and loving cat who has a way of keeping you entertained. He doesn't mind being held but is more interested in his toys. Pikachu seems to get along fine with other cats. He doesn't scratch or bite and generally seems to be ready to explore.

This week's pooch is Baxter, a male bloodhound mix. He has been at the pound since he was a puppy and has grown up here - he is probably a year old now. He is the most laid back and lazy dog I have ever met at the pound. His favorite thing to do is lying around. Of course he is still a lot of fun. I think he would be a great dog for first time dog owners.

This sweet basset hound is at the animal shelter in the downstairs area which is where most dogs are while they are waiting for their owners to reclaim them or waiting for a spot to open on the adoption floor.

Jenny is a young brindle pitt who was pregnant when she was taken to the shelter. Jenny was wondering the streets of Texarkana in search of food. She was able to have her babies in the shelter and now that they have all gone to new homes Jenny is ready for a new home too. Jenny is a compact size weighing approximately 40 pounds. She is good on a leash and is very quiet at the shelter. She is happy

Bashful at first but warms up quickly. Spirit is a beautiful Catahoula Dog. He is good natured and curious. He is a people pleaser which makes for a great dog to train. I love this breed! They are extremely loyal and great property protectors. Did you know that the Catahoula breed name comes from a parish in Louisiana? Read on to learn more about this breed and how Spirit can easily fit into your

This fun-loving dog is a ball playing pooch. Russ is her name and ball playing is her game. She is an Australian Shepherd. She is fast and smart! She knows how to sit and lay down on command. It wouldn't take long to teach her how to do tricks. She is a young dog that is around a year and a half old.
