Bonnie is a Boxer mix that is less than two years old.  She was surrendered to the animal shelter by her owner in March, with no reason noted on the paper work. Poor thing is very scared. 

You can see by her docked tail and square head that she has a lot of boxer in her. If you watch the body language of both dogs in this video you will see the black one that is up at the front of the kennel appears to be the boss and Ms. Bonnie doesn't want to challenge her at all. I am posting this video in hopes that someone will see Bonnie and want to give her a chance. She is not going to do well in a shelter setting.

Please visit the shelter's Facebook page to see if there is an animal there that you would be interested in adopting, fostering or sponsoring.

It is so unfortunate that there are so many dogs and cats 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. Please 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 right 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. Here is a list of rescues in the area Dog Rescues in Texarkana and How to Contact Them. You can find a rescue to foster through to be able to pull the dogs from the shelter.

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.
