PETS OF THE MONTH
Shady and Simba's owner had too many animals. They are three years old and altered. 
We like kids and dogs. We give kisses and are both very loveable. Our owner had to give us up due to the cost to maintain us.
EVERY PET ADOPTED RECEIVES THEIR FIRST BOOSTER AND THEIR RABIES VACCINATION IF THEY ARE OVER THREE MONTHS OF AGE, AN IDENTIFYING MICROCHIP, WILL BE SPAYED/NEUTERED, AND DOGS OVER THE AGE OF 6 MONTHS WILL BE HEARTWORM TESTED.

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.

ADOPTION CENTER EVENTS & UPDATES
Pet Link
The NRH Animal Adoption & Rescue Center is offering an alternative program to increase the adoption of animals from the Center. This program began at a local nursery with a card table full of information about adoption animals and also notebooks with pictures of the current animals available for adoption. As individuals began looking through the information and the adoption rate began to increase, employees and volunteers began looking for other ways to advertise these adoptable pets.
PetCo in Watauga, Texas was a prime location for our volunteers to set up every other Saturday for adoptions. The Center's volunteers have made a significant difference in providing these pets with good homes. Since beginning in January of 2003, we celebrated out 100th adoption in October 2003.
Adopt-a-thon
Our Annual ADOPT-A-THON/WALK-A-THON helps raise money for the AARC Expansion Fund by walking with your pet along the 1.5 mile course. This event will kick off at 8:00 a.m.. Please contact the shelter at 817-427-6570 for information on how to sign up. T-Shirts, refreshments and prizes will be in abundance!

Pet Photos with Santa
December 13, 2007 is when Santa Claus comes to visit the homeless pets at our Adoption Center. While he is here, Santa offers to have his picture take with pets for a donation. Your pet can have their photos taken with the him for a donation of $7 for the first sitting, $5 for each additional sitting and $2 for each additional print of the same pose. All proceeds from this event benefit the Shelter Fund.

WHO ARE WE?
- Rescue unwanted animals

- Return pets to their homes
- Re-home pets in loving, protective homes
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.
