Meet Aiden, a sweet, goofy cuddly boy who loves his people.  True to type, he can be protective if he senses danger, but in the house with those he loves he's unguarded and playful.  While he's a big boy, that doesn't mean he won't cuddle like a puppy on your lap if you let him.  While Aiden loves kids, he has asked for a home with those that understand boundaries. He'd also like a backyard and no other dogs, we hope you respect his wishes.  Aiden has some special needs; he came to us with a prior back injury presenting as arthritis, but can be controlled with pain medication.

Daisy Mae came from a property with many, many dogs. She never got the love and attention she deserved, so she needs to learn that good luvin' is a-okay! She's come a long way already, but must have a home that will continue to show her patience. She also needs at least one secure dog friend to help her relax, and speaking of relaxing, a secure backyard would be out of this world!  She's the most beautiful, dark-as-the-night black we have ever seen...and this girl just deserves a chance. If you are a person who understands that some dogs need to warm up, on their own timeframe, then we'd love to hear from you. Daisy Mae is a gentle girl looking for a forever home, or a foster home to help her become more secure.  show less

Dorito is almost 3 years old, and lives in a foster home with other cats and dogs. Dorito is a hunter, he loves to steal pens off his foster Mommy's desk, plays with toys, loves his scratching pad, but loves to be king of the mountain at the top of cat tree.  Dorito is a bit of a loner, but when he's ready for lovings he jumps up and head bumps his foster Mommy on the chin.  Loves to be brushed and is okay with getting his nails clipped. Dorito plays with his foster brothers and sisters and is often seen giving licks to the little girl kitties. Dorito likes to be held on his terms, not big on being picked up, but will come to you and get right in your face as if to say okay here I am and time fo you to love on me.  Shy at first around strangers, but will come around especially when treats are in hand.

Gidget and Smiley are a bonded pair of girls who will only be adopted TOGETHER. Gidget is a lively fun, little dog and these two love to play together. Smiley was raised in a hoarding situation in an outside pen with many other dogs, and was not socialized as a puppy, so she is nervous around new people. If you give her time and patience, she will come for pets and ear rubs. She is a good girl, who is quiet and very gentle, and she loves car rides. Both dogs enjoy toys and wrestling and napping together.  Both of the girls are young adults, so an ideal home will be willing to take them for walks and have a securely fenced yard.

Hi, my name is Gus and I'm a snuggly kitty who loves chin rubs and keeping warm by laying on your belly or legs! I can be skittish around new people and may get a little defensive with what I consider my territory. Due to that, I need an adopter who will be very patient, and give me a lot of time to adjust. Once you earn my trust and I'm comfortable, I will follow you around for all the attention. I am very fond of nuzzling and grooming my human foster Mom's head and hair. Give me a good window to watch birds and sunbathe in and I will be a very happy cat! I absolutely love other kitties, and would prefer to share a home with another kitty. :) Please, no dogs in my new home.  RHS adopts within 60 miles of Richardson, TX.

Hi, I'm Jagger! I have gorgeous eyes and a beautiful coat and I absolutely love people! I like meeting new people and dogs when I'm out on a walk, but I like it even more when my humans pet me or cuddle with me on the couch. Give me a treat or play a game of tug-of-war and I'll be one happy pup. I have an issue moving one of my rear legs that makes me walk a bit funny, but that doesn't slow me down at all. If you throw my ball in the back yard, I'm still going to sprint to go fetch it. I'll do best in a house with more than one human in it and I get along great with other dogs. I've never been around cats or small children before. If you've got time to play with me and a nice back yard for playing fetch, if love to be part of your family!

Hi, I'm Jemma! My foster family says I'm very smart and that I have perfect house manners! I love affection, but I don't demand it. I want to please you! I would prefer to be an only dog in a calm and peaceful environment, though, so I'm not going to be the right fit for a family with little children. I have made a kitty friend though. Since I'm part beagle, I need a home with a securely fenced yard. At 34 lbs, I'm a great size for a companion. I love to bark at squirrels and when people come to the door, but I'm pretty quiet overall. Are you my forever home?

This is Lil Richard, who moonlights by the name Mr. Biggs or just Biggie. He first came to RHS when he was a tiny baby boy of only 6 days old, but he’s gotten so big and matured so much since then! He’s grown into a very independent boy who loves his life, people, and other animals. He plays hard and loves hard. He’s super cute and when he loves on his people or animals, you just want to give him hugs and kisses! He’s mischievous, and prefers to approach life on his terms, but is a good boy. He’s looking for an active family that would play with him when he’s not taking a catnap, and perhaps another cat or dog to keep him company when the family is away. Could Mr. Biggs be the cat you’re looking for? show less

Polka Dot is a very sweet, petite kitty who is looking for a loving furever home. She would love to spend all her time with her humans, and would be a wonderful companion for someone who is home frequently.

Rhett is very sweet and is still pretty shy with strangers. He has relaxed more in his foster home and will actually initiate contact. Rhett can be a little vocal some to people and will occasionally let you hear his purr. He is good with other cats, dogs and kids. Rhett plays with the other kitties in his foster home, ignores the dog, but most of the time tends to get on a high spot and watch everything going on below.  Rhett sleeps on top of our amoire, he's very quiet and will come to you for lovings.  He is very shy and will take a while to come around in new surroundings.  He is litterbox trained, loves treats and has a great appetite.  He's not big on being held, but will allow the occasional hug or two if you must.  He tends to come to you when he wants some attention. Rhett loves to look out the window and watch the happenings of our neighborhood. RHS adopts within 60 miles of Richardson, TX.

Ringo is a handsome 5 year old male Black Lab. He longs for attention and love from his humans, and will stay by your side every second of the day possible. Although quite large, he loves to cuddle but won't jump on furniture or beds without permission. He is smart and will do well with some light positive reinforcement training on basic commands like sit, lay down, etc. He is not currently living with another dog but has gotten along great with dog visitors in the foster home. With proper introductions and transition, he would be fine sharing a home with brother and sister pups!   Sweet Ringo is a lady's man! His ideal family will be a household with at least one adult female and a reasonably active lifestyle or at the least, a backyard for playing catch and running around. He prefers ping pong balls to tennis balls. He is wonderful with respectful toddlers and small babies - like a gentle giant. However, for his activity level needs, his new home might consist of older children that want to go out and play with him!

 Please say hi to sweet Roo!  Roo is a love bug who loves nothing more than to snuggle with her person.  She's an older dog, so is calm and easy to be around.  Roo loves to go on walks, car rides and where ever you'd like to take her - your perfect day is her perfect day.  Well, more accurately, being with you is her perfect day.  :-) Being an older gal, she's has some "baggage" (don't we all):  she's not crazy about other dogs (prefers keeping you to herself) and has a kidney condition which can be controlled by diet.  Easy peasy.

Hello, my name is Sable and I am very loving and playful, and I know tricks! I can sit, stay, offer paw & hug! I love people, dogs and children, but am very energetic, so small playmates might think I'm too much. I love to run and jump and will play and entertain myself when I’m bored.  I listen very well to commands especially when you reward me with treats. I enjoy belly and head rubs, and love to give big hugs with wet kisses when you spoil me. I still need some training on not pulling when I am being walked on a leash, but I'm not too big, so it's not big of a deal. Well, that's me in a nutshell! What's not to love! show less

Shamrock is just the sweetest boy! He is smart, curious & funny. He loves to play and be active but also likes to relax and snuggle.

He is such sweet & gentle boy & also lots of fun. He is available on a foster to adopt basis, meaning adoption will not be complete until he's gone through all of his puppy shots and neutering.  Shamrock is still a young lad, and even though he might let you know that he needs to go outside, he'll still need practice to be considered house-trained. He's proven to be smart, and will likely want you to teach him all sorts of tricks! Shamrock is likely to be a 60+ lb boy full grown, and will require a yard. No apartments please. show less

Please meet Shay.  RHS rescued him from Collin County Animal Shelter.  He is 45 lbs and estimated to be 6 yrs old.  He has loads of personality tucked into this little goofy face.  His foster mom said that he is a wonderful dog and he has not met any person he doesn't like.  He welcomes people with a little dance and wags his docked tail vigorously.  He is very loving and cuddly.  He never says no to tummy rubs.   Due to his breed, he needs daily exercise.  He'll be a good walking/jogging buddy with some leash training, as true to heeler form he can tend to want to chase things that move faster than he does.  He gets along well with most other dogs, but can be reactive to bigger/aggressive dogs - so only nice dogs should apply ;-).  He is not a big fan of cats (I don't blame him). He will fit well with an active family that enjoys walking him daily.  A dog playmate will help to get his energy out.  It'll be a plus if you're familiar with the breed.   If you are reading this, we are still accepting applications on this pet.  Our Adoption Process: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria.

Sparky wants someone to love him. He is very skittish with new people but once he warms up to you he will be your best friend. Sparky was very neglected and abused in his past life.  He was just skin and bones when we got him. He is a healthy weight now and he is doing really well at learning to trust people again.  Sparky is a very special dog and he requires a patient person who is willing to work with him.  He is very skittish when meeting with strangers and he has his own timing to warm up to different people.  His adopter needs to beware of his bite history.  When he is nervous and being threatened, he may bite if you reach out to him.  Of course, he doesn't do that to people he knows well.  We also do not want him to go to a family with young children.   If you are reading this, we are still accepting applications on this pet.  Our Adoption Process: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria.
