Cozi came to RHS from the Mesquite Shelter on January 2, 2018, and gave birth to six adorable puppies on January 10 in foster Julie Summer's home (Binny, Cinnamon, Cloud, Cowboy, Cozette, and Train). Julie fostered Cozi and her babies until they were ready to be separated, then Cozi went to stay with Mark and Kathy Shada. While…

Carlie came to RHS from the Balch Springs Shelter in February 2016.   She was fostered by Pooch Hotel and then by Julie Malcolm and family, was adopted in June 2017, then returned to RHS in May 2018. When Carlie was returned, her foster family immediately welcomed her back with open arms and, in time, Carlie convinced them…

Handsome Siamese kitten, Saffron, was adopted this afternoon! He joins a small family and will have another cat, (Dobby) and a dog named Charlie to play with.  His new mom is undecided as to whether to keep his name or change it; they'd like to get to know him a little before making a final…

Affectionate little beagle, Luka, was rescued (along with her sister, Lotus) from a backyard breeder in Oklahoma.  Long-time RHS supporter/volunteer/adopter Ed Spencer found out about the situation and asked RHS to step in.  Ed and Mary adopted one of the male beagles immediately, and females Luka and Lotus were brought into the RHS program.  It…

Sweet, funny Emerson was adopted today!  He is Tilley's pup, although at 6 months old, he's already larger than his mom and sister, Kodiak (who was adopted recently as well) and he's still growing!  It seems like only yesterday he was a chubby, round little fur-ball, but now he's a big, handsome boy. Emerson joins a…

We had another special double adoption today - the last of Cozy's pups, Binny and Cowboy, decided to stay together as permanent members of their foster pack!  Their foster mom, Amber, said they never intended to keep both pups (since she already has a young dog AND a teenager at home!) but they're so bonded…

Muffin came to RHS with 6 other kittens back in May 2016 ("Kitten Palooza"), just a little gray puff (pictured in front of the purple wall). That was over two years ago, so you know this girl was picky! She had so many lookers, but she turned them all down because she knew that she…

Tilley's baby girl, Kodiak, made it official today, staying for keeps with foster Meghan McGee! Meghan has been fostering since she was a little girl with her mom, Stephanie Hickey. Stephanie and Meghan fostered Tilley, Emerson, and Kodiak until the puppies were weaned. Kodiak's brother Emerson and his foster mom Andie stopped by to wish Kodi and Meghan …

Senior Brussels Griffon Chewbacca went home with his two new dads Saturday afternoon. He also has a live-in uncle, so he will spend very little time alone. The family is also interested in fostering! Chewbacca came to RHS from the Richardson Animal Shelter in April, surrendered by a family who had had him since he was…

Today we had a special adoption.  I say it’s special not because it’s my foster (although, let’s be honest, it may play a tiny role) but because she had very special needs that caused us to worry she may not find her forever home, or at least not for a very long time.  You see,…
