Animal Services will do their very best to help find your animal, although it is the owner's responsibility to stop by the shelter and check to make sure their animal is not at the shelter. Service officers check lost reports and report found animals here on this website when a new animal is brought into the shelter. Staff scan for microchips and make every effort to contact owners that have a tag on their animal.

If you are missing an animal, be sure to visit the Richardson Animal Shelter at 1330 Columbia Dr., Richardson, TX 75081 or call the shelter at (972) 744-4480

Found-Now at the Shelter are Pets in our care while we are searching for the owner. Lost pets eventually go up for adoption if no owner calls us, come in, or post a lost report.

Stray Cats or Dogs without identification (Collar w/tags or Microchip) are held for 3 - 5 Days depending on the circumstances.

 Stray Cats or Dogs with identification are held for 5-10 Days depending on the circumstances.

 Please keep a collar with tags or microchip that has your up to date contact information to increase your chances of your pet getting reunite.

** Be mindful that there are other shelters in neighboring cities and your animal may have been taken to one of those shelters.
