re-homing orphaned animals, promoting
the human-animal bond, preventing animal
cruelty, educating children and adults about

Volunteers who agree to provide a foster
home for our strays are provided with medical
care for the animals. The Humane Society
pays for all immunizations and spays or
neuters the animal.
Our goal is to place these animals in
permanent homes with responsible, loving pet
owners.
All of our services are provided through
private donations from our community.
Donations are accepted and needed! Our

Society is all volunteers and all money goes
towards the animals.)

been neutered. He loves other cats and is very social. 3. Owen is his name and loving you is his game!!! He is around a

year old and weighs around 12 pounds. He is a fence climber so he will need a yard with a privacy fence or electric to
keep him safe and sound. He will be neutered and vaccinated. 4. Maggie is a Boxer mix. She had been abandoned and was taken into rescue 7-30-10. On
her 1st vet visit she weighed 23 pounds and was estimated to be about 2 years old. Maggie was spayed, vaccinated, and tested heartworm negative on 8-2310. It is hard to believe in 5 short weeks with a lot of TLC, Maggie now weighs 45 pounds. She is very loving and docile. She has survived all odds against her
to become what she is now. She walks well on a leash and comes when called. She seems to be so gracious and humble for having a second chance.

My husband and I had
been considering getting
another dog for quite
some time. We already
had a young yorkie, and
we thought it would be good for him to
have a playmate. We began looking at
puppies online, but our hearts were
leading us toward adopting one of the
local shelter dogs we saw on www.
petfinder.com. My husband was the one
to bring Dori, our newest yorkie baby,
home from the Texarkana Animal Shelter.
Adopting Dori was the best decision we
could have made. She is full of love and
energy and is a great fit for all of us!
(This dog is not up for adoption, it is a stock photo.)
