We have two awesome pups up for adoption right now! Bella and Freckles! Both are female, with Bella being 8 months old and Freckles being a little older at approximately 12 months old. They have become best friends since being at the shelter, so if you already have a pup, they should fit right in. If you would like some more information or would like to meet them, please call Wes at 469-444-0915.

We have a new pup up for adoption, but she doesn't have a name. So we thought, what better way to give her a name than to let the community pick? Comment with your choice of name below, and if your name is already there, hit that like button. The name with the most likes by the end of the week will be her new name. https://tx-highlandvillage.civicplus.com/795/Adopt-a-Shelter-Pet

Meet Timber: the most patient, sweet boy waiting for his forever home at the Highland Village Animal Shelter. Timber is a three-year-old lab-pit mix with a medium-energy level, perfect for someone looking for an adventure buddy who also enjoys cuddle time. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines.

Timber loves walks and playing fetch, chasing toys, chest rubs, hugs, and chew sticks, and would do best in a single dog home with no cats. While Timber may be a little wary of new people at first, give him a chance, and you will have a best friend for life. Timber is one amazing dog and an absolute favorite among our volunteers.

If you're ready to give this deserving boy a chance at a better life, contact Wes at 469-444-0915. https://tx-highlandvillage.civicplus.com/795/Adopt-a-Shelter-Pet
