After a year living at Lindale Animal Control,
Elsa and Bree now enjoying forever home
When adopted sisters can stay together, it’s a heartwarming thing.
Such is the case with Elsa and Bree, a couple of canine siblings who spent the first year of their lives with the caring folks at Lindale Animal Control.
On March 31, a loving family adopted both and now the two sisters are enjoying the good things in life.
L
indale Animal Control folks said the two are making progress in adapting to their new home environment and the transition has been made easier by the patience and dedication of their new family.
Elsa and Bree now can go on walks, play with youngsters and dole out wet nose kisses.
All of which has made Lindale Animal Control’s Kristi Freislinger very happy.
“(The job) takes a lot of time and patience,’’ she said recently. “And when you see dogs getting adopted into a forever home it makes it all worth it.’’
Freislinger, who has been on the job for 10 years, noted that the spring season is when the Lindale facility sees an increase in dogs being brought into the shelter.
The Lindale shelter is a no-kill facility, and while it can’t accept owner surrenders, there are still too many dogs arriving.
“We will investigate where (the dog) came from and once we have it we will post the information on social media to make sure the dog doesn’t belong to someone,’’ she said.
Once posted, after a five-day stay, workers then get busy making sure the dogs are healthy and up to date on their vaccinations, including heartworm and rabies.
“Our vets in this area are fantastic,’’ she said. “They are a real blessing. We’ve even called them at all hours in all kinds of emergency situations.’’
Freislinger said their dogs are always in need of forever homes and anyone interested can do so by logging on to the city of Lindale’s web page or the Lindale Animal Control Facebook page.
She said anyone can schedule a meet and greet with their pups by calling 903-882-6861.
