We are a municipal Animal Shelter for the City of Richardson. We handle dogs and cats primarily, but do occasionally have birds, reptiles, rabbits and other small animals available for adoption. We also provide very limited wildlife rehabilitation for critters found in Richardson, Texas. We usually work with orphaned squirrels, rabbits, opossums, raccoons, and ducklings.

The Richardson Animal Shelter is an open adoption facility and we welcome everyone to visit us. We encourage interaction between our visitors and adoptable pets.
The adoptable animals look forward to daily visits and socialization by our volunteers and visitors. The Richardson Shelter is passionate about rescuing, protecting, and relocating pets to new homes. The shelter has received three Texas Animal Control Association’s “Humane Educators Award “ for its community involvement and education activities.
