Please check back for dates and locations.
The North Richland Hills Animal Adoption & Rescue Center will be at the Texas Rangers Ball Park in Arlington for the Texas Animal Shelter Coalition Tail Gate Adopt a Thon on Saturday, May 9, 2009. Many shelters and other animal groups from the Metroplex will be at the Ball Park from 10 am to 4 pm with animals for adoption in Parking Lot E (located at the intersection of Ballpark Way and Road to Six Flags.) The NRH AARC will be there with cats and dogs for adoption. The adoption fee will be $80 for pets under three months of age and $90 for pets over three months of age - this includes the spay/neuter, booster and rabies shot, intestinal wormer and a microchip for identification. All the pets that we will have out there will be ready to go home. For more information, please call 817-427-6570 or visit www.sheltercoalition.com.

The NRH AARC and TCAP (Texas Coalition for Animal Protection) held our first Low Cost Vaccination Clinic in North Richland Hills on April 25, 2009 and was very successful in vaccinating 144 animals and registering 65 NRH pets. The next clinic dates will be on Saturday, September 26, 2009 and Saturday, April 24, 2010 from 10 am to 1 pm. The location is yet to be determined. For more information please contact the shelter at 817-427-6570.
The month of June is the national Adopt - A - Shelter Cat Month. During the month of June the Adoption Center reduces the adoption fees on all cat adoption.

National Adopt -A - Shelter Dog Month is October. All dog adoptions during the month of October will be reduced. Please call our Adoption Center for more information.

The AARC's Injured Animal Fund is money set aside so the Shelter can help strays that are received injured and in need of immediate veterinary care. This fund is supported soley by donations.
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.
The adoption fee for pets under 3 months of age is $80. This includes the pet's neutering, first booster vaccination, a wormer and a microchip for identification.
