Townsquare Pet Patrol
There are many organizations throughout Southwest Oklahoma and North Texas dedicated to pets and pet adoptions. This week we welcome yet another to the Townsquare Pet Patrol, the Wilbarger Humane Society of Vernon, TX.
From shelters to foster and adoption groups, there are many different options when you are looking to add a new four-legged member to your family. Every week Townsquare's Pet Patrol, brought to you by Midtown Animal Hospital will be highlighting adoptable pets from throughout the Southwest Oklahoma area, hoping to find furr-ever homes for shelter pets from throughout the region.
This week we are highlighting animals from 12 shelters, and hope to add more as momentum builds for this project. We will also be featuring information on upcoming events at our local shelters, as well as bringing you information on upcoming fund raising activities for these organization.
April is Heart Worm Awareness month, and the Pet Patrol would like to remind you to have your pets checked for heart worms this month. The Pet Patrol is brought to you by Midtown Animal Hospital. We would also like to thank Just 4 K9s and Kitties 2, your home for grooming supplies, as well as all of your pets' needs, from food to beds to toys. Please remember to spay and neuter, and of course to adopt, not shop!

This week, The Stephens County Humane Society would like everyone to meet Sasha ... who should be in her furr-ever home, but for some mysterious reason is still with the SCHS.
Sasha's only negative is that she doesn't like cats and needs to be in a cat-free home. This beautiful Basset Hound mix loves children, is house-trained, leash-trained, gets along with other dogs and adores human companionship!
Sasha is about 1-year old and is a happy, social dog. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, tested negative for heart worms and has been given preventive treatments for ticks, fleas & heart worms during her time with us. She will make some lucky family an excellent, loyal and life-long companion. For more information about Sasha or any of our other dogs, please call the SCHS Animal Shelter at 580-252-7387.

This sweet girl is Karma, a 4 year old Shepherd blend who absolutely loves people. She is house broken and loves to play with toys. She gets along with dogs as long as they are the same size as her or larger. However, she does not appreciate smaller dogs at all. She would make a great dog for a family or a single person as long as lots of love and toys are involved.
Karma's adoption fee is $140.00. She comes with up to date age appropriate shots, dewormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and heart worm negative. She is on monthly heart worm preventative and is micro chipped. The rescue pays for activation of the chip and up to a year of monitoring. She also comes with 30 days of free veterinary insurance to be activated by the adopters. If you are interested in Karma, please contact Rainbow Bridge Can Wait on Facebook or on Petfinder.

Hello everyone, The Wichita Falls Humane Society would like you all to meet Gomer, a 1 yr old terrier mix who has been with them since January. He loves to be around people of all ages, and walks well on a leash and loves to lay out in the sunshine. He even likes cats.
Gomer knows he is a lucky boy, as he was rescued from another shelter who had him high on their kill list. With that drama behind him, there is nothing Gomer would like more than find a new family he can love and play with and share his furr-ever home.
If you would like to meet Gomer, please contact the Humane Society of Wichita Falls at 940 855-4941
