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. 

Mikey is heartworm negative which is a great thing. He still needs to be neutered. He is good with dogs.

Mikey lures you in by talking and pressing himself against the fence so naturally I had to reach down and pet him.

Dogs and cats are euthanized every week in our local shelter. It is up to the community to prevent it. Spay and neuter your pets. Volunteer to help educate citizens about the need to fix their animals. 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 microchipped for only $20 at the shelter. That way if your pet is ever lost, he or she 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 Friday from 11AM and 5PM and Saturdays from 11AM to 2PM.
