Story
Hi, I'm Blue Bell. I was adopted out as a puppy from RHS but my family could no longer care for me. I LOVE human attention. I get along with other dogs, but I do want to make sure I've got your full attention!!! My dental care was basically nonexistent, so I had to have all my teeth pulled. I feel much better and it doesn't bother me. I'm not a fan of being brushed or groomed, although you can work with me on that. It's been a bit rough for me lately, but I'm ready to trade in my past for a future filled with love and belly rubs. I promise to be the sweetest companion you could ask for. So, what do you say? Ready to give an old girl like me a chance? Here's how to meet me: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria. You must be at least 21 years old. You must live within a 60-mile radius of Richardson, Texas. You must share veterinary records for all pets currently in your home and all pets owned in the last five years. All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered. If you rent your home, you must provide verification that pets are allowed on the property. You must be willing to be interviewed by an adoption counselor and you must undergo a home visit from an RHS representative. Apply. You can complete an application at an MTP event or complete it online by either clicking the button below or the “Adopt” button beneath the pet’s photo in the listings above. Phone Interview or Attend a Meet the Pets (MTP) event. This is a great opportunity to meet the pet you are interested in and see if you connect. We hold these events once a month on Saturday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. We post the pets who are expected to attend on Friday evening on our Facebook page. For exact details and locations, view our event calendar. If an event is over a week away, a counselor may contact you for a phone interview. Home Visit. If all the steps above are completed satisfactorily, we will set up a home visit where you can meet the pet you are interested in again and the pet can meet other pets in the family. We will try to send the foster parent so you can learn more about how the pet is in a home environment. Complete Adoption. If all feel it is a good match, we will schedule the adoption at MTP or an off-site location. The applicant will need to complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. Our adoption fee is $250 for adult dogs, $300 for puppies (under 1 year) and $125 for cats. Discounts are available for senior-aged pets. APPLY HERE: www.richardsonhumanesociety.org ##492095##

Cyrus is a wonderful little guy with the heart of a lion. He will totally devote himself to his forever human(s) and guard his family with his very being. He is a cuddle bug, loves attention, and is great with all humans once he knows it is OK for them to be around his human(s). He would love to go everywhere with his person and is a perfect travel companion.He came to rescue in need of medical care, which led to several surgeries and a penal amputation to save and give him a good quality of life. He was a trooper with all of the pain management and let his foster mom take care of him, even when being cared for was uncomfortable.Cyrus is a happy, outgoing guy who will light up some lucky home. He would love to have other fur kids to play with, no matter what size. He can also entertain himself by chasing his tail, playing with toys, and enjoying a chew. This big personality is current with his vetting - vaccines, neutered, micro chipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Krystal came to us as a former breeder. She has spent the last few months learning how to live in a home, to play with other dogs and to trust.  She enjoys going on short, slow leash walks and riding in the car.  Her sweet side is definitely showing along with her willingness to engage more and more with her foster family. She was born on 05/04/2021. Krystal is now ready for her forever home. She needs a family that will continue to build her confidence and expose her to new experiences. Time and patience are the two things that she needs the most.  If you feel you can give these to her, please consider adding Krystal to your family.

Story
Meet Riley! Riley is an adorable 3-year-old Poodle weighing about 14 pounds, with a heart as big as his curls. Although he is vision impaired, it doesn’t slow him down one bit—Riley is a bundle of fun, energy, and joy! He adapts quickly to his surroundings and confidently navigates his world. Riley is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He loves attention, snuggles, treats, and being close to his people. He absolutely adores other dogs and must have a lively, playful canine companion (or companions) in his forever home. He knows how to use a doggy door and is mostly potty trained, though he may have an occasional accident as he settles in. Because of his vision impairment, Riley sometimes misses treats and may accidentally grab a finger, so a home with children age 5 and older would be best. Riley is a total lovebug who brings nonstop happiness wherever he goes. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate pup who will fit right into your family, Riley is ready to steal your heart.
