Pet of the Week

Slim loves her bacon treats almost as much as she’d love finding a new home. This young female looks like a miniature pinscher with black fur and tan accents. She’s very inquisitive about new surroundings but her attention is all yours when you’re holding a bacon treat. For more information on adopting Slim, call the Mineral Wells Animal Shelter at (940) 328-7752 or visit 101 Farm-to-Market Road 2256.

Did you know? According to the Mineral Wells animal ordinances, it is unlawful to keep an animal nuisance in the city limits. An animal nuisance is defined as any animal which disturbs “any person of ordinary sensibilities” through frequent or long, continued barking, crying or noise, or keeping an animal that endangers public health, annoys neighbors by the accumulation of animal waste or the owner allows the animal’s continued presence on the premise of another person.
