Stay safe during the holidays

The holidays can be a dangerous time, here are some tips from the Burleson Fire Department.

Pet of the Week - Meet Holly
|
|
Holly is a seven-year-old retriever/chow mix and she is adorable. Holly walks well on a leash, likes to play fetch and play with her toys. Even though she is very fluffy she does not shed. She has the best demeanor and when she is in her kennel she will just curl up and go to sleep instead of barking like most of the dogs do. She is a sweetheart and would do great in a home, come meet her at the Burleson Animal Shelter.
