Story
MEET MILLIE!STATS: 3 years old, spayed, Black Australian Shepherd MixAFFECTION/ENERGY LEVEL: My little nub tail wiggles at a million miles a minute! I have a good amount of energy, love playing with the other pups my size, and I will immediately roll over for belly rubs when I see a person! My energy level is the perfect balance of chill and independent with a little spunk for other dogs thrown in the mix. When it comes to spending time with my humans, I am super laid back and would be totally content sitting at your feet and getting scratches. I also like to smile with my front teeth when I am super happy (you’ll have to meet me to understand!)WHAT I LOVE: I LOVE belly rubs! If we make eye contact with you, it’s almost guaranteed that I will roll over and beckon you for tummy scratches. I also love to sploot my legs out behind me in the cool grass.KIDS: I don’t have any previous history with kids, but I recently did great at an event with children! As long as they are respectful of my space, I would be a very good girl!OTHER DOGS: I`m dog-friendly and enjoy the company of other dogs! I go to playgroup here at the shelter! I prefer dogs of my own size, though. I am a heeler, after all!CATS: UnknownHER MATCH: If you want to lay around and be lazy together, take the occasional long walk, play outside a little, and come back inside for more lazy cuddles, you just might be my type! I have done wonderfully at events in social situations – I pretty much just laid around and waited for people to come pet me. I am also known around the shelter for being a great walker because I just love spending time with the people here!SPECIAL NOTE: From my adorable nub tail to my toothy smile, I am absolutely precious!Complete an online application and get pre-approved to adopt at https://www.cognitoforms.com/YorkCountyAnimalControl/PetAdoptionSurvey.

Story
Socks is 9 months old and weighs 40 pounds and we were told he is a Husky/Shepherd mix. He has a wonderful, gentle temperament even though he is a little shy on first meeting. He is great with other dogs and loves to play with them. We are working with him a a leash and he is picking it up pretty quickly and he will need house training in his new home. He is very smart and picks up new things pretty quickly. He can get over a chain link fence so he needs supervision in the yard or a privacy fence. As long as you are with him or he has other dogs to play with, we have no issues here. After time and training and learning his home, this will calm down. He likes water, toys and is good with car rides. He has also been around children with no issues. He should do well with most any active family. Socks is neutered, microchipped and current on shots and preventions. If you are interested in adopting, please submit our application at Richardsonrescue.org. All visits require an appointment and an approved application.

Story
Sandi was given to us from a patient who could not care for her as a puppy at 10 weeks. She is 2 years old, house trained and very loving. She is a miniature shepherd husky. Would be great in open land environment, farm, good with kids! She is playful, energetic and loves cuddles! She is very attentive to your needs and would be a great pet for a family with children and open land for her to play and run! Sandi trained easily and can learn new tricks quickly. She does require undivided attention at times and loves time devoted to her.

Story
Meet three year old Sienna, a beautiful Aussie mix girl who is such a sweetheart. She was found abandoned in the middle of a highly traveled road. She is crate trained, and working on her house training. She does well with other dogs given slow introductions. She is a wonderful size at only 38 pounds. Could she be the girl for you? Continue reading and fill out our on line application RECOMMENDATIONS & PROCEDURES Please note, the following are recommendations for puppies and different breeds of dogs. We will evaluate each application on an individual basis to see what is best for the dog/puppy and the potential adopter. Puppies are very fragile and not toys. We recommend children be at least six years old to be considered to adopt a puppy. Small breed dogs ( such as chihuahuas, yorkies, shih tzus , etc) we recommend children be at least eight years old. Herding, working breeds we recommend children to be at least 12 years old. Again these are recommendations. Adoption Procedures: We will travel up to two hours ( one way) to do physical home visits and we do not do virtual home visits. ( we are in Cleveland County NC) Most of our dogs come from bad situations and we want to know where their forever home is going to be. While we do not require fencing on all dogs, certain dogs that need a fenced in yard, will not be adopted unless potential adopter has one. We also adopt some dogs to people who live in apartments ( as long as the landlord approves) but not all dogs. We do not adopt to anyone under 21 years of age. We also do not feel college students are the best fit for most of our dogs. Most of our dogs again, come from bad situations and need lots of attention. Most college students have financial responsibilities and we feel need to be focused on school. Our goal is to match the dog with a family that fits the dog’s needs. We are solely focused on what is best for each dog in our rescue. These dogs have had enough moving around, dumped out like trash, and we want to ensure they find their forever home. We do require you sign a contract and if at any time you cannot continue to provide for the dog, the dog comes back to the rescue. Your first step to adoption is filling our our on line application. You will then get an automated email stating we got your application Next our adoption coordinator will be in touch either by phone or email If your references check out, a home visit will be scheduled. After the home visit is done, a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in and/or any other available dogs we have will be scheduled If the dog and you are a match, contract will be signed and you may take your new family member home.
