Sam

Sam is a sweetheart senior who would love a safe and happy place to just hang out. He doesn't ask for much! He would be a great dog for someone who just wants a quiet companion. He doesn't need doggy playmates (he doesn't mind them, just doesn't need them). He wouldn't mind gentle morning walks, but can get by without those too. He has the most beautiful coloring! He needs occasional grooming and more frequent brushing, but he's super low maintenance! Can you be that companion for him?<br/><br/>Note: His breed is not confirmed, it is our best guess based on his very good looks and temperament. <br/><br/>Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria. You must be at least 21 years old. You must live within a 60-mile radius of Richardson, Texas. You must share veterinary records for all pets currently in your home and all pets owned in the last five years. All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered. If you rent your home, you must provide verification that pets are allowed on the property. You must be willing to be interviewed by an adoption counselor, and you must undergo a home visit from an RHS representative.<br/><br/>Apply. You can complete an application at an MTP event or complete it online by either clicking the button below or the “Adopt” button beneath the pet's photo in the listings above.<br/><br/>Phone Interview or Attend a Meet the Pets (MTP) event. This is a great opportunity to meet the pet you are interested in and see if you connect. We hold these events once a month on Saturday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. We post the pets who are expected to attend on Friday evening on our Facebook page. For exact details and locations, view our event calendar. If an event is over a week away, a counselor may contact you for a phone interview.<br/><br/>Home Visit. If all the steps above are completed satisfactorily, we will set up a home visit where you can meet the pet you are interested in again and the pet can meet other pets in the family. We will try to send the foster parent so you can learn more about how the pet is in a home environment.<br/><br/>Complete Adoption. If all feel it is a good match, we will schedule the adoption at MTP or an off-site location. The applicant will need to complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. Our adoption fee is $250 for adult dogs, $300 for puppies (under 1 year) and $135 for cats. Discounts are available for senior-aged pets.
