PLEASE CALL THE SHELTER IF IT IS AN EMERGENCY
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: $45

This Service is for Richardson Residents ONLY.

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

The experience was nice and everyone treated us with respect and kindness. Rachel at front desk was rock star handling all my questions, paperwork, while still making sure the front was running smoothly.

From the initial phone call to the actual surrender/euthanasia, I sincerely appreciate the caring, compassionate and respectful manner in which Rachel, Paul, the volunteer gentleman treated myself and my 16-year old dog Bonnie during a sad and emotional surrender/euthanasia on May 20th @ 3:00 pm. Each staff member was attentive and gentle with Bonnie and patient with me. Thank you so much! You make the City of Richardson special. PS: The facility is clean and beautiful.
