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##

Story
Here’s a sweet adoption bio for Cashew:     ---   Meet Cashew! This tiny 4-pound Maltese may be small in size, but he’s overflowing with love and sweetness. Cashew is a total lovebug who wants nothing more than to be your constant companion—your little pocket pup who goes everywhere with you. He rides great in the car, is crate trained, and is working hard on potty training in his foster home.   Cashew has been through a lot. After suffering a serious injury, one of his legs had to be amputated—but don’t worry, he doesn’t let that slow him down one bit! He hops along happily, keeping up with the other dogs like a champ. His resilience is just as impressive as his affectionate nature.   Because of his tiny size, Cashew needs a home without small children to keep him safe. What he needs most is a family who will shower him with love and never let him feel alone again. If you’re looking for a devoted little buddy who will melt into your arms and follow you to the ends of the earth, Cashew is your guy.

Meet Gianna, a sweet two-year-old Maltese mix looking for her forever home. Gianna is crate-trained, gets along well with other dogs and cats, and doesn’t mind children over the age of 8. She's a great car companion, riding calmly during trips. Though she may be a bit shy when first meeting new people, she just needs a patient home that can offer her the time and space to adjust. Are you ready to open your heart and home to this gentle girl? Gianna is crate trained but not fully housebroken at this time.

He is very loving, cuddly and playful.    One of his favorite things to do is collect all the benebones in the house and line them up on his dog bed demonstrating impeccable spacial skills!    To meet Bruno in person visit us at www.dsda.org/adopt and submit our online adoption application.  ADOPTION FEE Covers: Core vaccines plus Lepto and Flu, all boosters, microchip, dewormer until clear fecal test & spay or neuter when completed by a DSDA vet partner plus any necessary medical care.  All dogs are on flea, tick and heartworm prevention and you receive the following month's preventatives complementary with your adoption!  * Adoption Fees: Puppies (12 months and under) - $325  Dogs (over 12 months) - $275  Qualifications for Adoption:  No dog is alike and each dog has different requirements based on breed, age, energy level and life experiences.
