Hank loves to love to love to love. He is a Casonova of dogs. Having his face as close to his person's is on his top 10 list, and it might just be the top.
He loves dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and breeds. It's a special skill. He loves long walks, chasing the ball, and laying on any comfy surface available to him - especially your lap.
Hank had a difficult start to life, and it continues still - he was pulled from a shelter at 6 months, placed in a foster home, then another foster home, then an adoptive home - his owners now find themselves in a life crisis and he, and his brother from another mother must find new homes. Please let us know if you'd like to meet him.
Hank finds some strangers scary, so we like to give lots of treats, but once he knows your a good guy, you're deep in his circle of trust.
Here's how to adopt 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 $135 for cats. Discounts are available for senior-aged pets.
