We are not able to have you in the room before, during, or after the procedure (per state law). You will need to say goodbye in our lobby.

Additionally, we perform communal cremation with the remains – so we are unable to return ashes or release the body back to you for a private burial. You can choose to hire a third-party company to pick up the remains from us and do a private cremation/burial. Most residents that use this service pick “Pet Memories” or “Toothacres”. Please arrange this pickup with them prior to your appointment, as we are not able to hold remains for an extended period of time.

Euthanasia Fee: $25

This Service is for Richardson Residents ONLY.

VALID (UP TO DATE) DRIVER LICENSE WITH A RICHARDSON ADDRESS IS REQUIRED FOR EUTHANASIA.

Not sure the name of the receptionist who helped me but I am so grateful for her assistance, she made sure to ask me if I was ok when I was overwhelmed about surrending my kitten, very professional and seems to handle multitasking very well, she was literally taking care of several customers all at one time, I am so happy to know that my kitten will be adopted to a loving home, very grateful for Richardson Animal Shelter! Thank you!

Rachel was so so kind during a really emotional time for my family and I. This would have been so much more difficult had she not been there to provide emotional support, and show the love that these pups receive on a daily basis.

Many thanks to the kind people at the shelter who helped me when my sweet fur baby had to be euthanized. They did their best to make a sad event as good as possible.
