Adopt a Pet

Lady is a friendly 2-year-old black labrador retriever. She is always eager to meet you and get a kind word and a scratch behind the ears. Although Lady hasn't missed many meals, she still has plenty of energy.

Lady is eagerly waiting to become a permanent member of a new, loving family.

Please call Along the Road Home Animal Shelter near Kempner at 556-4662 to inquire about adopting Lady or one of the many other dogs and cats available at the shelter.

There is an adoption fee and state law requires sterilization.

Additional animals may be available at Lampasas Veterinary Clinic. Please call 556-5533 to make inquiries. They have a variety of kittens desperately needing homes.

Along the Road Home Animal Shelter will set up an adoption site in Lampasas Saturday, weather permitting, at the Super Wal-Mart parking lot. Look for the white signs.

Donations of pet food -- especially dog food -- toys, other related items, cat litter or cash are appreciated to support the shelter's efforts to care for homeless pets. The shelter is a nonprofit animal welfare organization, and all donations go toward care of the animals.

Lampasas Recycling, 504 Hackberry, is accepting aluminum cans on account for the shelter. Please drop off cans at the recycling center or during any adoption site visit. You also may phone the shelter for pick-up.
