For the entire month of August, the Richardson Animal Shelter is again participating in the annual “Clear the Shelters” event. Now in its 11th year, this nationwide campaign that began in North Texas helps connect pets with families by offering waived or reduced adoption fees. During Clear the Shelters, the Richardson Animal Shelter will waive adoption fees (which range from $15-$35 depending on age and type of animal).
Note that new owners will still be required to have pets spayed/neutered and vaccinated for rabies if it has not been done so already. A valid Texas driver’s license or ID is required and new owners must be age 18 or older.
Those who are not ready to adopt are encouraged to consider fostering an animal by providing a safe and calm place until they find their forever home.
The Richardson Animal Shelter is located at 551 N. Plano Rd., adjacent to the main Shelter facility while construction is taking place.
