The Abilene Animal Shelter (aka Pound) just had 85 cats, dogs, kittens and puppies dumped on them all in one day. In the past week, nearly 400 dogs and cats found their way to the Pound, so now there's a greater need to find these pets homes right away. So, the City of Abilene is reducing their adoption fees on every animal. Rescue the Animals, SPCA is offering a mail-in spay/neuter rebate good at any veterinarian. In a sense this is an "Emergency Adoption Sale" where the price of a pet is cut in half. Check it out

The good news is, these two awesome dachshunds will live. However, they are still in need of a home, Abilene Animal Control Director Aaron Vannoy called to tell me that "the Taylor-Jones Humane Society rescued both dogs to keep them from being put down. They did ask that I tell folks where these two dachshunds went in the event someone wants to adopt them." The Taylor-Jones Humane Society at 2301 North 3rd Street is a no-kill shelter and will care for the two dachshunds until a home is found.

This weeks KEAN Critters, I affectionately call them the "Three Stooges." As for their names, let's say they are Moe, Larry, and Curly. They're a 9-month old Chocolate Lab, a two-year-old Yellow Lab and finally a two-year-old Black Lab. Each one has it's own unique personality. The Chocolate Lab was turned in because he chases chickens. To which I said "of course he chases chickens, that's because he's a bird dogs and that's what bird dogs do." The fact still remains these three are extremely lovable. All three can be found at the Abilene Animal Control Shelter.

This update is bittersweet because Pugsi the super sweet Pug mix was not exactly adopted, Pugsi was taken over by a Pug rescue group from the Dallas Fort Worth area. Aaron Vannoy Animal Shelter Director said "the DFW Pug rescue group had contacted me earlier this month and asked that I hold Pugsi until they could come to Abilene to transfer him to the DFW Metro-plex, they did so earlier this week. I'm sure they will have better luck finding a loving home for this friendly little guy."

Krista is an black and white four year old Tabby cat that was turned in by her owner. Abilene Animal Control Shelter employees tell me that Krista is a victim of domestic abuse. It seems that her owner (to save her own life) moved into the NOAH Project and then, she begged animal shelter officers to help find "really good homes" for her two pets. The family's dog was adopted Saturday. Now only Krista the cat remains, sad and alone at the animal shelter looking for a safer environment to call home.
