Story
Meet Toto!Toto is a sweet, older gentleman who loves nothing more than curling up in your lap or snoozing in his bed. Despite his age, he still has a playful side and enjoys having fun with his stuffed animals. His happy little personality is sure to bring a smile to your face!Due to his age, Toto has some weakness in his hind end. He still likes to get up and move around, but long hikes and stairs aren’t the best fit for him. If your home has steps, he’s small enough to be carried in and out with ease.Toto recently underwent major surgery and has recovered beautifully. To stay healthy, he’s on a special urinary diet, which helps prevent bladder stones from returning. He doesn’t mind sticking to his special food, and it keeps him feeling his best. He prefers going potty outside but wore potty pants indoors during his recovery period. Now that he’s feeling better, he’s ready to find his forever home where he can enjoy his golden years in comfort and love.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt. It doesn`t obligate you, but it is the first step. We don`t get to all of the inquiries but respond to all applications. Thank you for choosing to rescue!

Story
Randy is a spunky 8lb little guy and loves men and boys better then women. He can sit and say please ; he is working on taking things nicely and doing well with daily practice. He walks nicely on a leash. Randy would do best in a home with one other dog, he likes the company of a pack but not required and with someone that is home more than away. He prefers like to sleep on a fluffy dog bed or a blanket. Once he puts himself to bed he does not like to be disturbed by anyone. He has done well in his foster home with going outside to use the bathroom.

Story
Meet Biscotti! Biscotti is a 1 year old 20 lb handsome pup with a heart of gold—but he takes his time showing it. He’s wary of strangers and isn’t a fan of loud noises or sudden movements, so he’s looking for a calm, patient adopter who understands that trust isn’t built overnight. Once Biscotti feels safe, he’s a loyal and loving companion who enjoys quiet moments and gentle affection. He does great with other dogs knows sit and is potty trained and loves to play with toys especially fetch. Because of his sensitive nature, he’d do best in a home without small children. If you’re willing to give him the time and space he needs, Biscotti will reward you with a lifetime of love and devotion. Could you be the one he’s waiting for? To meet Biscotti, please fill out an application!   Application available at https://www.pawsofloverescue.com/adoption-application.  Adoption fee of $275 includes neuter/spay, microchip, heartworm testing, deworming, vaccinations, and other necessary procedures.  Applications without a phone number will not be processed.Applications can be found online at www.pawsofloverescue.com, under the adopt tab.  We require an approved application before a meet and greet is set up.  March 24, 2025, 11:13 am

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##
