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.

Have you ever wished you could get some help looking for your lost pet? I would like to offer my assistance so I've listed my contact information below. Today, I need your help. We need everyone to be on the lookout for a small, white Maltipoo named Gabby that has been missing from a Texarkana, Texas home since Friday, Oct. 2.

Oktoberfest is coming to Texarkana this month. It's an arts and crafts festival with food and craft beers from all over Arkansas.

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.

Bag up your unworn shoes and bring them to PetSmart this weekend to help the shelter animals. Clean out those closets and look under your bed for shoes to donate to a great cause. Those old, still wearable shoes you will never wear again can help out a furry friend at the Animal Care and Adoption Center in Texarkana. The more shoes collected, the more money raised for the shelter.

A variety of dogs and cats will be available for adoption on Saturday, Sept. 19, at PetSmart in Texarkana. Dog rescue groups will be set up throughout the store so be sure to look from the front to the back.

Ruby is a beautiful brindle pup that looks to be mixed with some sort of smaller breed, possible terrier. When she first came into the shelter she was very skinny and shy. Now she is playful and loves to give hugs and kisses. She doesn't always come up to the front of the kennel and in dim light, you may miss that she is even in the kennel!

All of these dogs are at the shelter in Texarkana hoping their owners come for them soon. Even the dogs that were surrendered by their owners are still hoping they will get to go home again soon.

Animal Care and Adoption Center Director Charles Lokey is tired of finding animals dumped at the shelter after hours. He told me he has found kittens and puppies left in boxes at the door of the shelter in the heat of the summer that are nearly dead and he is sick of it. So new signs are posted and video surveillance has been installed at the shelter.

What do you do when your cat wants some together time outside but it's too hot to just sit on the porch? You take your cat for a walk from inside the pool.

Sugar is a beautiful male Akita that is at our local animal shelter. He has a strong personality and may not be suitable for a home with small children. Sugar got along great with all of the small dogs that were in the exercise area. He carries himself in a way that lets you know he is the boss.
