If you love a unique dog, then this girl is for you! The first thing you will notice about her is that she is very friendly. The second thing you will notice is her mohawk that's a patch of white between the tips of her adorable crooked ears, turns salt and pepper and runs the length of her entire body! Besides her punkrocker looks, she's mastered a yoga frog pose. She can bring fun to the party, and the zen. There's simply no character lacking in this girl! Bella is housebroken, kennel trained and overall a darling of a dog! She is looking for a foster or adoptive home who can focus on her, and show her the love and attention she deserves. A backyard would be nice, as she loves to sniff and explore. So if you have a yard and have tons of love to offer, you may have just met your match! Her story is a sad one...she had an owner who loved her, who passed away earlier in 2023. There was also another dog in her life that passed away in the same timeframe. She suffered some losses that have left her in this sad situation. Bella is currently in a boarding facility and we would really like to get her into a home environment, even if it's for fostering while she waits for her forever home. If you can help with Bella, please complete the FOSTER application. If you want to make her your's, please complete the ADOPTION application. Visit her listing at www.richardsonhumanesociety.org if these options are not clearly visible. show less

Bernadette, also known as “Bernie,” is one of the most playful, cuddly and affectionate kittens we’ve ever known! She loves to lay on her back to get belly rubs *and* kisses! She is super playful but never rough and hasn’t met a person or animal she didn’t fall in love with immediately. If you’re looking for a constant companion to love on and receive love from, Bernie is your girl! She and her two brothers were found outside much too young to be without their mother. When she never came back, these babies found their way into our Bottle Baby Program. Bottle babies tend to be slightly different from kittens raised by their moms. For a good reason, cat moms teach kittens to be little hunters. While human moms teach them that they can always rely on humans to provide everything their little hearts need and want. Bernie has a special place in her heart for her brother, Sheldon. Wherever you see one, the other isn’t far behind. They will do their best in a home where they can continue caring for each other and their forever family. Bernadette is up-to-date on vaccinations and is spayed and microchipped. She is litter-box trained and uses cat trees and scratching posts appropriately. We are still accepting applications on this pet. Please read the Adoption Process steps below.

Charlotte is a smart and chill pup. She is all about the sass and confidence. She thinks quite highly of her social skills, playing chase and wrestling with her foster brother whenever she’s given the chance. When she’s not playing, Charlotte will lay on the floor near her people, keeping an eye out on what’s happening in the house. She gets along with all people, dogs and cats, although we feel she is best suited for a home with male dogs, or a laid back female. She has been a champ at potty training, walking to the door to signal she’s ready to go outside. She’s also learned how to sit on command with a treat and has great potential for learning even more! Charlotte is a ranch-born dog born from a mama and daddy dog with great dispositions! (Don't worry, they are getting spayed/neutered!) While she is a mix, she is a guardian dog through and through. Charlotte will need a spacious yard to be able to watch over. She is 5mos and 50lbs already! **RHS IS NOT A SHELTER; OUR PETS LIVE IN FOSTER HOMES IN THE DFW AREA** Meet the Adoption Criteria: Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria.

Chip Grey is a 4 year old Schnauzer Yorkie mix with a sweet, funny personality to make your heart melt.  He loves to play with his foster brothers and sisters... but his favorite thing to do is sit in your lap and sleep right next to you!  He insists!  If you're watching tv or reading, he wants to be right next to you or in your lap.  He welcomes you home with bounces!   Chip loves toys and sitting at the window or door to see people go by. He walks great on a leash and does excellent on car rides.  He does shed some but with regular brushing his coat is lovely. Chip would be an ideal companion for a loving couple or individual - but in exchange he will need three things:  1)  Time to adjust to you and your home.  2) Trust that you won't let random people pick him up just becuase he's cute and little 3) Time to adjust to you and your home (bears repeating).  If you do these things you'll have a dog who'll love you unconditionally.   ****Prior to filling out an application or contacting RHS, please completely read the instructions below.**** ALL ADOPTERS/FOSTERS MUST LIVE WITHIN 60 MILES OF RICHARDSON, TX.

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.  ****Prior to filling out an application or contacting RHS, please completely read the instructions below.**** ALL ADOPTERS/FOSTERS MUST LIVE WITHIN 60 MILES OF RICHARDSON, TX.

David, one of the Schitt’s Creek kittens, was brought to a caring volunteer by his mom, a community cat. She was given a warm, safe place to raise her kittens inside and this little man has never looked back! David’s three passions are cuddling, golf on TV and his brother, Mutt (the cat). More on the TV: he LOVES to watch anything, but sports are his jam. He even has his own spot near the TV so he has a front-row seat! Don’t worry though, he’s not interested IN the TV. He is a very playful and gentle kitty. He can be a bit hesitant at first, but his desire to be loved on always wins out and he turns into the cuddliest love bug. He is very laid-back and goes with the flow. He’ll let you know if you’re in by rolling over to expose his belly for scratches so he can get all of the rubs. David is up-to-date on vaccinations and is spayed and microchipped. He is litter-box trained and uses cat trees and scratching posts appropriately. We are still accepting applications on this pet.

Looking for unconditional love? Meet Handsome Hank, the epitome of affection, cuddliness and playfulness combined! This charming boy is eagerly waiting to find his forever home and shower his lucky adopters with an endless supply of kisses and cuddles! Hank's playful energy is infectious. His active nature makes him an ideal companion for an adventurous individual or a family that enjoys outdoor activities, but he is also an expert in the art of relaxation. This beautiful boy is remarkably well-behaved, having mastered the fine art of house and crate training. With a calm demeanor that puts even the most chaotic situations at ease, Hank is the perfect sidekick for your home office. He'll be content to curl up next to your desk, offering companionship and warmth during those long work hours. Handsome Hank has a friendly disposition towards other dogs. While he hasn't had much exposure to cats or children, his adaptable nature suggests that with proper introductions and guidance, he could potentially thrive in a home with feline or youthful (11 yo or older) companions. However, it would be best to arrange a meet-and-greet to assess compatibility and ensure everyone's happiness and safety. Handsome Hank's affectionate nature, combined with his playful spirit and adaptability, make him the ideal addition to any home seeking a loyal and loving companion.

Lilac Brooke was born on the first of February in a warm, safe home where her mom had been placed just in time to give birth during an unseasonably cold winter spell. This little girl has never known what street life is like but is naturally reserved and cautious. Lilac Brooke takes her time getting to know new people and situations. She will thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can be herself without others’ expectations being placed on her little shoulders. Good days are days when nothing unexpected happens, and Lilac can go from one routine to another without disruption. She will need an experienced adopter who understands and respects her uniqueness.

Lopez is a sweet boy who recently lost his owners due to their health issues, and ended up in the shelter after being found wandering as a stray. Poor boy, his world fell apart!  He's doing great in his current foster home, loving the other dogs. He is wary of new people who come into the home but warms up fairly well. He just completed his obedience training, so we are happy to report that he is doing better with new people!

Gorgeous Lorelei was relinquished to Collin County Animal Shelter extremely pregnant. Knowing she was very young, RHS took her in so she could have her kittens in a loving and safe environment. Little did we know the next day she would become a mother to five babies!! She was the best mother any kitten could ask for, although she was very inexperienced. Now her kittens have grown into small cats looking for their forever home and so is Lorelei! She has the most silky soft silver-gray coat that you’ll just want to pet. She absolutely loves human attention, but can become over-stimulated sometimes, so she needs to be in a home with a family that has experience with particular kitties. She has lived with a few dogs and decided they are not her speed, but she would do well with a quiet, passive cat as she is very dominant.  Sadly, momma cats are often left behind and have to wait months if not longer to find their perfect home. Please consider adopting this young-adult little girl; she will make someones home so very happy!! Lorelei is spayed, up-to-date on all recommended vaccines and has been microchipped. She uses scratching posts appropriately and is litter box trained. ALL ADOPTERS/FOSTERS MUST LIVE WITHIN 60 MILES OF RICHARDSON, TX.

Maris is a playful young adult. She enjoys climbing on cat trees and playing “Queen of the Mountain” on the top shelf. She enjoys head scratches when it is time for her breakfast or dinner – she’s quite food motivated. She will need an experienced adopter as she is extremely cautious around people. She can startle easily, so she will do best with an understanding family who will work with her while she acclimates to her forever home. She is a beautiful girl who loves to be petted once she is settled. She loves to play with other cats and will do well in a home with other pets. Maris is up-to-date on all vaccines, she is spayed and microchipped, litter box trained and eats both wet and dry food. If you are reading this, we are still accepting applications on this pet.
