UPDATE: The emergency pet adoption has been extended through Monday, June 24th until 6 PM, 925 So. 25th Abilene. 

HELP! Abilene's cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies need your help because the Abilene Animal Shelter is overflowing with animals. Andrea Robinson Founder and director of All Kind Animal Initiative says "Every kennel is full and we've had to improvise by using some of the outdoor kennels and stacking the transportation kennels.

While our Abilene Animal Shelter is set up to accommodate only 135 dogs, the shelter is currently overflowing and holding more dogs and cats than the entire shelter is designed for. Right now, Andrea says, "Come rescue these fur babies for only $18.65 each, that's it less than twenty dollars!"
