Adopt a Pet

Big Boy lives up to his name. He is a large, short-haired cat with bengal markings. Even though his 14 pounds makes him a significant presence, Big Boy is really looking forward to finding a new family who will give him lots of love.

Please call Along the Road Home Animal Shelter near Kempner at 556-4662 to inquire about adopting Big Boy or one of the many other cats and dogs 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 parking lot of Auto Zone. Look for the white signs. In case of inclement weather, set-up will be Sunday.

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 non-profit animal welfare organization, and all donations go toward care of the animals. Donations are tax-deductible.

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 pickup arrangements.
