About Our Shelter:

We are a municipal Animal Shelter. We handle dogs and cats primarily, but do occasionally have birds, reptiles, rabbits and other small animals available for adoption. We also provide very limited wildlife rehabilitation for critters found in Richardson, Texas. We usually work with orphaned squirrels, rabbits, opossums, raccoons, and baby ducks.

Come Meet our Pets:

We are located in Richardson, Texas. Columbia Drive is one street south of the Plano Road/Arapaho Road intersection. From US 75 (Central Expressway), take Arapaho Road east to Plano Road and turn right (south). Columbia Drive is the first street to your right (west).

We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00am until 7:00pm, Saturday from 9:00am until 5:00pm, and Sunday from 1:00pm until 5:00pm. Please stop by and visit our wonderful critters!

Our Adoption Process:

The adoption fee for animals under the age of 6 months is $3, and animals over the age of 6 months is $15. The adopter MUST sign a contract agreeing to get the animal's Rabies vaccination and to have the animal sterilized (spayed/neutered) within 30 days (for adults) or by the time the animal is 6 months old. We also strongly recommend that dogs and cats get ALL of their vaccinations, as well as be tested for heartworms (dogs) and Feline Leukemia and Feline AIDS (cats).

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
