🌸💖 Well howdy, y’all — just call me the belle of the ball! 💖🌸

I put on my Sunday hat and prettiest smile hoping someone out there might see me and think, “That’s my girl.” 💕

I may look fancy, but underneath these flowers is a heart full of love, a wagging tail, and a spirit that’s always ready for adventure. Life’s too short not to play, love big, and wear pink on a Saturday! 🎀🐾

If I made you smile, just imagine what I could do in person. 💞

Anyone recognize this sweet old girl we’ve been told she has been wandering around for two weeks on the edge of town! Very friendly hoping we can find the owner to reclaim her. If you know where she belongs or who she belongs to please let them know that she is located at 602 South Parkway, Alvarado, TX 76009.

🐾✨ **HEY HUMANS, TEDDY HERE!** 🐻💛

Stop scrolling! Yeah, you… the one with the thumbs. I’m **Teddy**, 3 years of pure fluff and joy, and I think it’s time we became best friends.

Here’s what you need to know about me:
🎾 **Adventure-ready:** I love hikes and exploring all the smells.
🛋️ **Cuddle-certified:** Couch? Lap? Blanket fort? I’m there. Belly rubs included.
🐕 **Well-behaved:** I know “come,” “sit,” and “down” — basically, I’m a genius in disguise.
💉 **Health report:** Heartworm negative, vaccinated, and dewormed. Because I like being a responsible pupper.

I’m looking for a forever home full of love, treats, squeaky toys, and *maybe* a human who understands that tail wags are the universal language of happiness.

So… what are you waiting for? Swing by **Alvarado Animal Shelter** and let’s make it official. Adventure buddies for life — that’s the deal. 🐾💫

💖 Meet Angel — a gentle soul still waiting for her forever 💖

Sweet Angel has been with us for a while now, and we can’t help but wonder how a dog this perfect hasn’t been scooped up yet. She came to us as a stray, but her microchip revealed she had once been adopted through another agency. Sadly, her former owner can no longer care for her, and the original agency hasn’t responded — so now it’s up to us to make sure Angel gets the happy ending she deserves.

Angel is the kind of dog that reminds you why we do what we do — she’s housebroken, gentle, dog-friendly, and loves to play fetch. She knows her basic commands, enjoys quiet moments, and will happily curl up beside you after a game of catch. She’s truly an Angel in every way.

This sweet senior has already been through so much, yet her spirit shines as bright as ever. She deserves a home that will love her for the rest of her days — a home that sees her not for her age, but for her heart. 💕

We know one thing for sure — Alvarado won’t let her down. 🐾 Let’s come together and find Angel the forever family she’s been waiting for.

If you can open your heart and home to this amazing girl, please reach out or stop by the agency to meet her. Let’s give Angel the happily-ever-after she’s been waiting for. 🏡💖

We have a bottle feeder!!! Thanks everyone!!!

We just took in three newborn kittens — one gray and two tabbies — so young their eyes haven’t even opened yet. They’re crying softly for a mama who isn’t here… and we’re their only chance now. 🍼🐾

These babies need experienced bottle feeders RIGHT NOW. Every hour matters. Without help, they won’t survive.

We’ll provide formula, bottles, and supplies — all we need are loving hands willing to give them warmth, comfort, and a fighting chance.

🙏 If you can’t feed, please share — your share could save a life.

Tiny hearts are depending on us today.
