It’s almost fall yall! That means mice and other undesirables will want to bed down- and we all know the perfect place is in your barn! Or your home 😵‍💫
Instead of using those pesky poisons why not ‘employ’ a barn cat?!

*Availability varies. Please call ahead! 979-966-0021*

🐾❤️ THE SWEETEST FACES ARE WAITING FOR YOU AT THE SHELTER! ❤️🐾

Okay, Facebook friends… just LOOK at these faces. 🥹🐶

These sweet babies are all patiently waiting for the same thing — someone to walk through those shelter doors, look into their eyes, and realize that their next best friend is right there waiting. 🏡❤️

Some are goofy.
Some are cuddly.
Some have BIG personalities. 😂
Some may need a little time to show you just how special they are.

But every single one of them has something in common:

They deserve to be seen. They deserve to be chosen. And they deserve a family of their own. 🐾

You can scroll past a picture… but there is something completely different about standing in front of a shelter kennel and having a sweet dog look up at you like “Are you my person?” 🥺

So instead of waiting for the perfect picture to pop up on your feed…

👉 COME MEET THEM.

Come take a walk through the shelter.
Come say hello.
Come play with them.
Come let them show you who they really are.

And who knows… you might walk in thinking you’re “just looking” and walk out with your new best friend. ❤️🐾

Your future family member could be waiting behind one of these kennel doors.

📍 Gardenia E. Janssen Animal Shelter

🕙 OPEN TUESDAY–SATURDAY | 10 AM–4 PM

❤️ PLEASE SHARE!
You never know who on your friends list is ready to open their home to one of these sweet faces.

🐾💦 ARNOLD HAS SOMETHING TO SAY… AND HE ISN’T SHY ABOUT IT! 💦🐾

🎥 TURN THE VOLUME UP & WATCH THIS OLD MAN IN ACTION! 😂

Meet ARNOLD — our shelter’s resident old man, professional talker, toy enthusiast, treat connoisseur, and apparently… WATER HOSE SUPERSTAR. 😂💦

This video pretty much sums Arnold up perfectly.

He is LIVING for his water-hose spa day, carrying on like he has a very important complaint to file with management… while simultaneously having the time of his life. 🤣

And those eyes? 👀
That bark? 🗣️
DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU.

Arnold is mostly ALL TALK! 😂❤️

Underneath all that big personality is an old soul who deserves something every senior dog should have:

🏡 A soft place to land.
🛋️ A comfortable couch.
🧸 Toys to play with.
🦴 ALLLLLL the treats.
❤️ Someone who will love him for exactly who he is.
🌅 And a family to spend the rest of his life with.

Arnold isn’t asking for a mansion.

He isn’t asking for a perfect life.

He just wants HIS PERSON.

Someone who will laugh at his antics, listen to his daily commentary, give him snacks when he thinks he deserves them, let him play with his toys, and remind him every single day that he is finally HOME. 🥹❤️

Because honestly… look at this face. 🥺

He has spent enough time waiting.

Let’s find this old man the family who will say:

“Yep. He’s ours. We’re taking him home.” 🏡❤️

🐾 COME MEET ARNOLD!
📍 Gardenia E. Janssen Animal Shelter
240 Svoboda Lane
La Grange, TX 78945

🕙 Open Tuesday–Saturday | 10 AM–4 PM
📞 979-966-0021

If Arnold isn’t your guy, PLEASE SHARE HIM. 🙏
The person who is supposed to love this ridiculous, hilarious, sweet old man might be sitting on your friends list right now. ❤️

Arnold’s next adventure should be a FUREVER HOME. 🐾🏡
