The Richardson Animal Shelter will waive adoption fees throughout August as part of the annual “Clear the Shelters” event. Now in its 12th year, the nationwide campaign, which began in North Texas, helps connect pets with families by offering waived or reduced adoption fees. During the event, the Richardson Animal Shelter will waive fees that normally range from $15-$35, depending on the animal’s age and type.
New owners will still be required to have pets spayed or neutered and vaccinated against rabies if those services have not already been completed. A valid Texas driver’s license or identification card is required, and adopters must be at least 18 years old.
Those who are not ready to adopt are encouraged to consider fostering an animal by providing a safe, calm place until it finds a permanent home.
The Richardson Animal Shelter is located at 1330 Columbia Dr. Operating hours are noon-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and noon-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
