Meet Baxter!

If you're looking for a best friend with a big smile and an even bigger heart, Baxter is your guy! This handsome 1-year-old Pit Bull mix is full of youthful energy, affection, and charm. One of Baxter's most lovable features is his happy grin, he's a true smiley boy who always seems ready to brighten someone's day.

He is a little shy at first, but he just needs love to truly come out of his shell! ❤

WE ARE BURSTING AT THE SEAMS (And we need your help!)

Right now, our shelter is operating at 150% capacity. We currently have 190 amazing animals in our care, and every single day, an average of 15 new cats/kittens and 9 new dogs walk through our doors.

We are officially out of space, but we are never out of love. To help these incredible pets find the homes they deserve ASAP, we are running an urgent adoption special:

🐱 Cats & Kittens: Only $25

🐶 Dogs: Only $10

Why now? Summer is the absolute perfect time to adopt! With longer days and a more relaxed pace, you’ll have the ideal window of time to focus on training, bonding, and truly getting to know your new best friend. Whether it's teaching a dog to fetch in the backyard or watching a kitten discover their favorite sunbeam, summer memories are just better with a pet.

The Math is Simple: Our shelter is full, but your heart has room. Come meet your new best friend today and help us save lives!

We are so grateful for the community we have here in Arlington!

We want to give a HUGE shoutout to Keller Williams Realty for donating their time in honor of “Red Day” on May 14th.

What is Red Day, you ask? RED Day is KW’s annual day of giving back. It is one day each year when every KW agent and staff member takes a break from real estate to give back to their community.

We are honored that you chose Arlington Animal Services as one of your projects this year!!

*Also, Thank you to Arlington Parks, Recreation & Culture for all of your help with our beautification project!!*

UPDATE: You did it!! Latte was ADOPTED this morning❤️❤️❤️

As some of you may have seen, we held a mobile adoption event this past Saturday at The Parks Mall. One of our volunteers captured this photo of “Latte,” a 5-month-old Siberian Husky mix, patiently waiting for her forever family to find her. 🤍

Unfortunately, Latte didn’t find her home on Saturday, but we know her perfect match is still out there. She has been with us since April and is such a loving, sweet-natured pup who deserves a family to call her own.

Please help us share Latte’s story so we can help her finally find the forever home she’s been waiting for..
