Richardson Animal Shelter is full of it.We went there last week to look at a dog.They claim it had another one as a pair.We had to wait a week. The claim the previous owner was evicted so we went there today to adopt. We couldn't adopt them cause the previous owner lives a blocked over. They even tried to see if we wanted another dog.After I already told them we was looking for a laid back dog. Anyway....I guess They think we would give them back.. Very disappointing but like I told my son we will go to a breeder instead

DO NOT TAKE STRAYS HERE, & please ADOPT THESE POOR BABIES. Truly the worst place ever … for people that work at an ANIMAL SHELTER to HELP dogs.. they immediately turned away this stray dog we tried to help. They said they were full.. & didn’t have room for him. Questioned everything they could to not take him in. She said “well if you kept him last night why can’t you keep him again & take him somewhere else,” so I said “because I have rescue dogs already, so I can’t. I’m just trying to help”. Unfortunately her response was “ we’ll go put him back where you found him then” WHAT! I couldn’t believe it. They were so rude & hateful….MISTREATED ANIMALS! I’m so upset for those babies. So glad we found another shelter to take this poor stray too.

I have a cat coming to my backyard and pooping every morning. How can you help me?

Anjali Matta | Oct 6, 2019
Claire Haney | Oct 6, 2019

There are traps you can buy or maybe use from the shelter or animal control, get a can or two of cat food and and set them out. If/when the cat is caught, you can take it to the shelter where they can check for a microchip, and if it's not owned, then they can neuter it and put it up for adoption.

Where do you live? For owners surrendering animals The City of Richardson only accepts surrenders from current residents, like most other municipal animal shelters.

Ibrahim Al-badani | Oct 6, 2018

You may volunteer if it's for your own accord. Court ordered community service has restrictions they say.

What donations are needed at this time?

Carolyn Vandagriff | Dec 9, 2021
Rose | Dec 9, 2021

Anything you can give would be appreciated!

Are the cats and kittens neutered already?

Stephanie Marie | Oct 5, 2021
Andrea J. Schedel | Oct 5, 2021

The older cats may be already, but the kittens aren't (you have to wait til they are old enough). It is required as part of the adoption that you have to have it done, along with the proper shots, by a vet of your choice. There is a deadline to provide proof directly to the shelter as part of the contract you sign at adoption. Neither dogs nor cats are guaranteed spayed or neutered.

Any free dog food donations??

DKizzle Sims | Oct 5, 2021
Andrea J. Schedel | Oct 5, 2021

They are accepting any donations of food, toys, towels, blankets, dog beds, etc. There is a box by the door where you can drop off stuff.

They were Foster together, and cats do better with a friend. These two already know each other and they obviously work well together. It is the shelter's choice to keep them together for adoption

Can i volunteer if i am 14 years old

Kira | Oct 6, 2019
Jennifer Foster | Oct 6, 2019

Even though you are too young to be an official volunteer, you can come with an adult and interact with the animals. This helps them feel more comfortable around people and will help them to be friendly and get adopted more quickly.
