There was a fire early this morning in Killeen at the shelter, and many of the animals were killed. They need any help you could offer. There is a link on their page for a contest to win $20,000 just by voting for them. Even if you can't donate, this would help. So sad to have them head into the holidays after this kind of tragedy. This is a no-kill shelter run by volunteers and donations.

We just found a kitten in Lampasas and I was considering taking her there. This is so sad!
Just heartbreaking. Please provide more details.
This is all I know for now. My friend is going to stop by on her way over to get her daughter and she was going to try and get a picture. It’s not in our paper or on the web-sites yet. I sure hope this was not a Halloween prank.
Donation sent.
Freepers are the best!!!
Terrible.
My friend Mary just tried to stop by the shelter. The parking lot is packed with cars. Lots of volunteers there already. It’s a metal building and she said that she couldn’t see any major damage from the road. Glad to see that they have lots of help. The sign on the gate said “shelter is closed until further notice”.
Just sent them $50.00. Feels good to help these poor little guys. THANKS for the post.
That is very generous scottiemom. Thank you. It does feel good!!!
This is terrible, they lost 99 cats and 15 dogs, according to their website update. I will send a donation and pray for them to get through this. I cannot feel worse for the poor animals, just an awful story.
Oh man....So many animals. This is heartbreaking. Thanks for the update.
Truly heartbreaking!
Donation sent - BUMP
