Here's your FEEL-GOOD FRIDAY story! Meet Missy and her mom, Hailey.

Some of y'all may recognize Missy as Madame Lady Glitter, a resident of LACAC who came in on Tuesday afternoon as a stray from the public. Well, thanks to the power of the internet, Missy's mom found her intake photo on our networking page, Friends of Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center- LACAC and IMMEDIATELY contacted us, telling us that she was on her way to reclaim! Missy had been missing for 2 WEEKS, and her mom had not stopped searching for her! The reunion was nothing short of heartwarming. When Missy's mom arrived at LACAC, the joy and relief on her face were palpable, with Missy instantly perking up at the sight of her mom! Her tail wagged furiously, recognizing the familiar face and scent she had missed so dearly.

Staff and volunteers beamed at the reunion. (A few tears may have been shed.) It's scenes like this that reminded everyone why they worked so hard to care for and reunite lost pets with their families. Missy's mom thanked the staff, expressing her immense gratitude for their help and the role the community played in bringing her beloved pet back home.

With a final round of thank-yous and tail wags, Missy and her mom left the center, heading home to resume their lives together. Happy tails, MISSY! 🐾

Happy FIRE-tastic FRIDAY! 🔥 We're back with our friends from the Longview Fire Department to help showcase an animal available for adoption here at LACAC!

Whenever the crew from Station 4-B came through, we asked them about their lives down at the station. What do meals typically look like for them? "It's usually a lot of spaghetti..." Well, y'all are in luck; we've got SPAGHETTI here! SPAGHETTI is an 8-month-old American Pit Bull Terrier who came to LACAC on 7/31. She is noted as being a "true sweetheart" and quickly won over these officers! SPAGHETTI is available for adoption at our facility and will leave spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccines.

Thank you again to the Longview Fire Department and Officers Followwell and Askew for choosing SPAGHETTI for this FIRE-TASTIC FRIDAY! 🚒👨‍🚒 (Stay tuned, as we'll share Officer Gothard with who he picked today!)

We're pairing up with our friends from Longview Fire Department and introducing FIRE-TASTIC FRIDAYS! 🚒🔥👨‍🚒 Every other Friday, a Longview fireman/woman will come join us and help spotlight an animal of their choice. We want to send a special THANK YOU to Firemen Puckett, Larsen, Parker, Patrick, and Martin for coming back today!

Our crew today helped select ANTS! ANTS is a 6-month-old terrier-x who has been at LACAC for 16 DAYS! Ants has been described as "sweet, young, and playful" by our staff and volunteers, and based on her pose, we'd say she's pretty comfortable around whoever she meets. She is PLAYGROUP-CERTIFIED and loves being around other playful and respectful dogs. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and READY TO BE ADOPTED! (Firemen are not included.)

Any interested adopter is able to visit with ANTS at Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center, located at 303 HG Mosley Pkwy., Longview, TX 75604, Tuesday–Saturday, from 12–5 p.m.

If you'd like to give an animal their second chance, our JURASSIC SPECIALS are still going on this week! Come down to 303 HG Mosley Pkwy., Longview, TX 75604 Tuesday-Saturday from 12-5pm and find the right DINO-DOG/CAT for you!

Fourth of July

Preparation for the Fourth of July with pets starts long before the fireworks begin... While this can be a joyous day of celebration for us, it can be a nightmare for our furry friends. Help make sure your animals are safe and secure during this holiday. - Bring animals inside. Outside is the scariest place to be during the explosions and loud noises. - Double check any points of entry in your home. Make sure doors are locked and shut tightly. If people are coming in and out of one area of the home, please keep animals away from that sight. - Exercise and enjoy the outside time before 5pm. Take them on a tiring walk or run them in the backyard before all the excement picks up. - Play loud music or watch an action movie to help drown out all the noise from outside. Help make sure your pets are comfortable in their environment. - Ensure all pets have proper collars and ID tags on them. If an animal does escape, this is the best way to make sure they make their way back home. -Use local neighbor apps like Nextdoor or Facebook to reunite a found animal. Most lost animals are found within blocks of their homes after July 4th. July 5th is the busiest days for animal shelters. Help do your part and make the Fourth of July safe for everyone, whether two or four-legged!

Since we opened in 2016 she has provided medical care for over 20,000 animals that have come through our shelter. The veterinary clinic we have in our shelter is one of the things that make us unique here in East Texas. In fact, it is what allows us to have events like our FREE VACCINE and MICROCHIP clinic for Gregg County residents that we are hosting at our shelter NEXT SATURDAY May the 20th. Please take a second and go vote for Dr. Christine Prior in the Local Personalities/Veterinarian category. Vote everyday until May 19th!!

As many of you know we lost a valued member of our LACAC family this past weekend in a tragic accident. Our sweet, funny, vibrant Nina Lea Allen was one of a kind. Her heart, her smile, and her spirit will forever be ingrained in all that we do at the Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center and in our entire Longview community. We know that so many of you are grieving with us and trying to understand and process the same way we are. We're in this together and we feel your healing arms. So many kind gestures, words of encouragement, and just an incredible outpouring of love are coming in from our LACAC supporters. Thank you. Thank you so very much. We also know that many of you are looking to us to give guidance in how to help, how to give in Nina's honor. We are working as a shelter family and with her Mom, Heather, to come up with immediate and long-term ways to honor Nina's memory and continue her life's work to speak for those animals who need us. Please be patient as we navigate through all our thoughts, ideas, emotions and construct a plan that would make her proud. Our shelter animals meant the world to her, finding homes for the unwanted gave her purpose. We will make sure her purpose and passion live on in all of us.
