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.

This Service is for Richardson Residents ONLY.

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.

Treated very warmly , professionally, with kindness. Despite fact the dog had a chip and could not be taken in or put to sleep /-I felt the whole staff were extremely supportive— Doing their best to help me and resolve my problems. I still have no solutions—but I found nothing but kindness during my visit!

We brought in our 5 month old French Bulldog in to get microchipped. We were greeted so nicely by the guy who worked at the front desk and we were in and out under 5 minutes. The facility was clean and very welcoming. Highly recommend them to get any services needed for your fur babies!
