Our mission is to find permanent homes for every pet that arrives at our facility.

Before you go

Adopting from Richardson Rescue

Adoption process

All prospective adopters are required to complete an adoption application. This allows us to verify veterinary references, confirm the spaying or neutering of current pets, and gather personal references. Additionally, we conduct an interview process to ensure that each animal is placed in a suitable environment. The adoption contract, which is signed by the adoptive parent and a witness, stipulates that chaining or declawing of the animal is prohibited and that all medical needs and preventive care requirements will be fulfilled.

Service area
We serve the counties of York, Cherokee, Mecklenburg, Gaston, Chester, Charlotte, Chesterfield, Union, Lancaster, and the surrounding areas.
