The Texas County Animal Health Care Day was a big success. It helped to set up the spay and neuter of 54 dogs in the county.
All are welcome.
In loving memory of our friend, John Tarrants. John was an avid supporter of The Animal Shelter of Texas County. He made many donations to support the animals. John will be missed by all of our Board Members and Volunteers. John was a "Voice for the Animals."

In loving memory of our friend and board member Bill Williamson. Bill served
on the Board of Directors for TASTC since 2006. He will be missed by all the
volunteers and members of our shelter. God Bless you Bill and praying for your
family and friends. You were a true " Voice for the Animals!" We will miss you.

The "Puppies For Parole" program is in full swing. Inmates at the South Central Correctional Center are helping our puppies and our puppies are helping them. Eight offenders at the center have joined in a partnership with our puppies. The goal is for the offenders to work with the dogs to teach them basic obedience skills and to socialize the puppies to make them more adoptable. At the same time the inmates are learning to accept responsibility and are given the incentive to maintain good conduct records.
After the dogs have completed the program, they are returned to the shelter for adoption and new dogs will be sent to the correctional center for training and friendship. The program has been such a success that additional inmates and puppies will soon be added to the program.
