My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Little Richard-your future lap warmer!
Little Richard is an adorable 7-year-old Chihuahua mix with the sweetest personality. This tiny lovebug lives for cuddles and will happily claim your lap as his favorite spot in the world. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and cats, and he's gentle and affectionate with everyone he meets. We don't have experience with him around very young children, so a home with kids over 8 or adults only would probably be best. Little Richard has already had a tough journey-he was found running the streets, then rescued, loved dearly by his elderly owner who sadly passed away. Now he's hoping to find his true forever family. Could you be the one to give this precious little guy the warm lap and loving home he's been dreaming of?

Additional adoption info

All animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all shots prior to adoption. Adoption fees range from $50 to $650, based on the age and health of each individual animal.

Please apply as the first step. We can not discuss details for any particular animal if you have not yet applied to adopt.

All steps in our adoption process are aimed at making a good match between pet and adopter. You will be asked to complete an application form. Once your application review is complete, a Clay County Animal Shelter volunteer will contact you to schedule a home visit to look for potential hazards for the animal that the adopter may not have considered. All household members must be present during the home visit. This includes all pets. Once approved to adopt, Volunteers will suggest pets currently in our foster care program who may be a good fit for you and your family. We can also discuss specific animals in our care that you are interested in meeting and adopting.

More about this shelter

Clay County Animal Shelter is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization. The Clay County Animal Shelter (CCAS), aka “Annie’s Dream”, was founded as a no-kill shelter in 2000 by Clay County residents Annie McClintock and vets, Drs. Steve and Polly McDonald in Henrietta, TX.

The shelter’s mission is to provide an alternative to euthanizing abandoned cats and dogs in Clay County. CCAS takes in, cares for, and trains its cats and dogs as our animal handlers work to find forever homes for them, no matter how long it takes. CCAS also provides programs, when we have grants to do so, to encourage spaying/neutering to control overpopulation, such as its free spay-and neuter clinic that treated 184 cats and dogs.
