Due to the recent rains and minor flooding that has occurred in Abilene, Rescue The Animals, SPCA Founder Paul Washburn has postponed the 7th Annual Dachshund Races until Thursday, July 24th, 2014. All events and times will remain the same.
1 week ago Meet Spike, a six month old, 15 pound terrier mix that was picked up by Abilene Animal Control. Spike is ready for adoption and more importantly only has a few days left to live. Kelsey Loza, Rescue Coordinator for the Shelter says "Spike will make an awesome family pet." Please help us save the "KEAN Critter" of the week. See him at the Abilene Animal Control Shelter in the west wing.
2 weeks ago Rescue The Animals (RTA)/SPCA in Abilene responded to a call of animal abuse near Gorman, Texas. SPCA Investigator Mindi Qualls says "it's the worst case ever of animal abuse that I have ever come upon." Mindi told me that, what she found was a nightmare and it made her physically ill. After I viewed the photos and the videos, I too was sickened and became emotional as I wondered "who would do this to an animal?" I will warn you now, this contains graphic images.
2 weeks ago I just learned that the Lone Star State has an official state dog and why not, we've got a official state flower, bird, food and as of 2005 a dog. The breed is a result of an ingenious Texas cattle rancher and hog hunter. The Texas Blue Lacy, is a mixture between a wolf and a hound and makes the most awesome cow-dog/hog-dog. Watch as a Lacy family member explains how the breed came about.
A video gone viral shows Animal Control dramatically breaking a window to rescue a dog that was locked in a hot car for at least 35 minutes.
Keep your pets safe on Friday with these really great tips. Make sure your Fourth of July is a happy one, for you and your four-legged friends!
I have an automatic water sprinkler at my house. Occasionally, I forget that it might be on when I let my dogs out to do their business. In doing so, they attack the sprinkler head like it's a chew toy. In fact, my small boxer, Katana, even dug around a few of the sprinklers like the little mutt she is (said lovingly). Apparently my dogs are not the only ones that can't resist the coolest (literally) entertainment a dog can do. Watch as these dogs go off on these sprinklers.
4 weeks ago Meet Piper the Alaskan husky mix that was turned in by his owner because they are moving. Piper is only 6 months old and is good with children and other pets. He's full of energy according to Kelsey Loza, Rescue Coordinater for the Abilene Animal Control Shelter. Loza says "Piper is such a sweetheart that he deserves a second chance at life." Please help save our "KEAN Critter" of the week. See him at the Abilene Animal Control Shelter in the west wing

Does it get any cuter than this? Watch these pugs hop up some stairs.
Ever wondered if you could speak dog? This guy can.
June 10, 2014 Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if dogs could do the things humans do? What if they could drive, for example?
