I was young once and quite cute.  My life has been spent being a loyal companion and friend.  Now I've had the misfortune to out live my owner.  If you are a senior and would like to have a pet in your life I would love to be that pet.

When owners die and leave their pets they are many times euthanized, because no one wants to take on an older pet.  We have two Shelties, one Pomeranian, two Chihuahuas and one Domestic Short Hair declawed cat.  These animals deserve to enjoy what time they have left in a loving home. 

 

They have all been loyal pets and well loved, they just had the misfortune to out live their owners.  If you are a senior and would like to give one of these lovely pets a home please call 903/496-2412.  If you arenąt a senior and would like to give these pets a home you are welcome to call too.

 

This is a growing concern in our nation and many organizations have entered into agreements with families to offer end of life care for their pets.  By leaving a donation in your will you can guarantee that your beloved pet will have care for the rest of their lives.  Just something for you to think about, no one wants to think about leaving their loved ones behind.

 

We have many wonderful pets ready for adoption.  If you are looking for a pet please check the shelters first.  Save a life and adopt.  You can visit our animals at the shelter on Saturdays from 10-2 or by appointment.  You can view our pets on the web site:  http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TX519.html. 

 

Remember to spay or neuter your pets to reduce the number of pets in our local shelters.
