Notes from Richardson Rescue

Hi, I’m a 4-year-old Rat Terrier looking for a safe place to call home. The world can be a scary place for me, and I need someone who will be patient, gentle, and willing to give me the time I need to feel safe. I may be shy and frightened at first, but I deserve a chance to learn what it means to be loved. I’m looking for a special person who understands that trust takes time and that the best friendships are built with kindness, patience, and love. Could you be the one to help me come out of my shell? Please visit richardsonrescue.org.

What happens next

  1. Contact Richardson Rescue using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Richardson Rescue, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
