Click here if you have lost a petThe NRH Animal Adoption & Rescue Center shelters adoptable pets as well as lost and found ones. If you have lost a pet, please come by the Center to physically see if your pet is there and if they are not - you can fill out a lost report.
The Center is not equipped to take lost reports over the phone and the staff can not tell you for sure if your pet is there or not. Pets come to the Center 24/7. This is why it is so important for you and your family to visit the Center regularly to see if your lost pet is there.
Thank you for helping us get these pets home.

To help us return more pets home, the City of North Richland Hills requires all pets that live within our city limits to be registered with us. The city registration has to be renewed each year. A current rabies certificate and the registration fee is all you need to register your pet with the City. For fee information and to answer additional question, please contact the Adoption Center at 817-427-6570.
The City of North Richland Hills also requires that all cats living in our city be kept strictly inside. Any cat adopted from our Center must be inside cats only. As our community grows, there are more and more dangers to an outside cat. Also in order to avoid damages to neighbors' property, the city requires all cats to be inside cats.
When you walk your dog, please pick up after your pet.
Thank you.
