ficer, said center officials have wanted
to start a program like this for a while,
but couldn’t find a way to fund it.
“[Going out on runs] makes [the
dogs] seem more adoptable,” Lopez
said. “It not only gets the dogs out of the
kennel, but it also kills two birds with
one stone. [They get] obedience train-
ing and [the run] calms them down for
when they get visitors.”
A handful of dogs have been adopt-
ed since the new program began a few
weeks ago. The dogs are taken for runs,
walks and even swims at North Lakes
Park.
Sarah Goedecke was the running
club member who pushed the program
forward.
“In time we hope to help provide
more information to make these dogs
more adoptable,” Goedecke said. “Each
time we visit the shelter, we hear anoth-
er story about a dog getting adopted.”
One walk is not enough for some
dogs. High-energy dogs are not easily
adoptable, but they calm down after
a run and it shows potential adoptees
“their real personality,” Lopez said.

Through a new partnership, dogs
from the city animal shelter are getting
workouts and boosting their chances of
getting adopted.
The Denton Area Running Club
and the Linda McNatt Animal Care &
Adoption Center have teamed up to
take dogs on runs. Meanwhile, the vol-
unteer runners can get a sense of the
dogs’ personalities and provide feed-
back.

Doctors concerned
about emotional effects

The small shelter along the Texas bor-
der to Mexico held 60 beds and a little
playground where children could play.
Rooms were equipped with toys, books
and crayons. To Colleen Kraft, this shelter
looked, in many ways, like a friendly envi-
ronment for children, a place where they
could be happy.
But the first child who caught the
prominent pediatrician’s attention during
a recent visit was anything but happy. In-
side a room dedicated to toddlers was a
little girl no older than 2, screaming and
pounding her fists on a mat. One woman
tried to give her toys and books to calm her
down, but even that shelter worker seemed
frustrated, Kraft told The Washington Post,
because as much as she wanted to console
the little girl, she couldn’t touch, hold or
pick her up to let her know everything
would be all right. That was the rule, Kraft
said she was told: They’re not allowed to
touch the children.
“The really devastating thing was that
we all knew what was going on with this
child. We all knew what the problem was,”
Kraft said. “She didn’t have her mother,
and none of us can fix that.”
The girl had been taken from her
mother the night before and brought to
this shelter that had been redecorated for
children under age 12, Kraft said staffers
told her.
The little girl is among the multitude

“Overall, it’s just wonderful to expe-
rience arts, great food, and have fami-
ly-friendly fun,” said Cheylon Brown,
chairwoman of the Denton Juneteenth
Celebration.
The event takes year-round planning,
and planningfor next year will begin after
this year’s celebrations are over, according
to Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation
Center supervisor Bobby Givens.
“This celebration is an opportuni-
ty to celebrate and show expression of
culture and to interact with the com-
munity,” Brown said. “Come one, come
all. That’s a win-win for me.”
Willie Hudspeth, vice chairman of
the celebration, said he also wanted to
see people come together, and that June-
teenth means freedom for everybody.
“I told the [City] Council members
at the last meeting to come, and if they
did, I’ll teach them how to dance,” Hud-
speth said.
After the parade wound its way from
the Denton Civic Center to Fred Moore
Park, Mayor Chris Watts presented a
proclamation marking June 16 as a day
of celebration.
Denton resident Donald Cox said
he celebrates Juneteenth every year
he can, and that his perspective on the
holiday has changed over the years. He
said he values it now more than he did
before.
