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.

Very pleased by experience. Did not know answers to many questions, let alone spell or know what type of cat I was turning in , but staff handled themselves professionally and politely. Glad I live in Richardson. And appreciate the people who work for its residents!

I had a great experience under the circumstances that I was surrendering my beloved pet to be euthanized for old age. Even though I was sad, I was impressed with the new building and that the staff has increased in size. I also appreciated the assistance I received in getting my pet inside building as I had to use a walker for myself. I visited the adoptable dogs/cats section and from my previous recollection of the old building, the animals seem to be in a much more clean, sanitized and secure environment.
