Our featured adoption animal today is Nox. Nox is a small brownish-orange with just a touch of white male terrier/poodle mix that came to us from the streets of Lubbock. He went unclaimed and made his way into the Adoption program. He would look wonderful after a trip to the groomer and would make any type of family a good pet. He is the right size for an apartment or small house. He is calm enough for children or the elderly. More after the jump.
Our lost animal of the day is a looker. She is estimated to be part dachshund and maybe part pitbull. Whatever she is, she is a good looking dog. She has recently been to the veterinarian, and has the spay scar complete with stitches to prove it. She was not wearing tags or a microchip. If she had either of these she could already be home warming her toes by a roaring fire. More after the jump.
Today we are hoping to find Caleb a home. He is a tri-colored Shetland Sheepdog or Sheltie as they are sometimes called. Me is the "Mini-Me" of the Lassie world. Caleb is mostly black with white and some brown in his long haired coat. He will shed with this long hair and will require grooming to look his best. He is small enough to enjoy apartment life or a backyard would make his day. More after the jump.

Gizmo is our Adoption cat for the day. He is a big black and white neutered male that loves to lounge around the house. He would make a excellent partner for any couch potatoes out there. More after the jump.
Our lost animal of the day is this friendly male grey and white cat came who was wandering the bad streets of Lubbock looking for his next meal until a kind soul brought him to the shelter. This guy was a pet as all he craves is love and affection. We need to find his owners and return him to his life he misses. If you know were he belongs, please call the shelter at 775-2058. More after the jump.
Mickey is our Adoption Dog of the day. He is a solid white male boxer and has a full supply of energy to burn. A big back yard would be ideal for this boy. Due to his energy levels, small children might not be a good idea around him as he might have a tendency to knock them over by accident in his play. He is not aggressive, just over joyous. More after the jump.
Our lost pet of the day is an adult female St. Bernard mix maybe? It is hard to guess the breed on this girl. Regardless she was picked up by our officers from the cold on February 3rd on 114th street. She is mostly white on the body with brown patches on her eyes and some black on her head as well. If you know her owners, please let them know she is safe at the shelter and waiting on them to pick her up.
Our adoption dog today is Arturo. He is an young adult Old English Sheepdog mix. We seized him and another dog on a cruelty warrant and the judge awarded custody to us. He deserves a better home than he had so lets help him find that home. Arturo is current on shots, and the $60 Adoption fee will cover his neuter and microchip. More after the jump.
