Happy Toe Bean Alert!!!

Hello NRH shelter team,

I had the privilege of becoming Hanson’s mom on September 1st, 2023. I wanted to give a happy tails update to mark a little over two years together. I adopted him a few months after moving to the DFW area, now I cannot imagine my life without him.

In our time together, Hanson has proven himself to be a world class traveler, a favorite at the vet clinic, and all around good kiddo. Watching him blossom from the day I first brought him home to now has been such a joy. The one thing that has remained the same is the snuggly, purring at maximum volume kitty who I met that sunny September day.

Hanson loves his blankies, squeezy treats, and snuggles with his family and friends. Crinkly toys and basking in the sunshine rank high on his list too. He was meant to be a young woman’s cat, and I am so lucky to be his person.

Thank you immensely,

Abandoned puppies in need of help.

A month ago we had a litter of puppies left outside our door in a tote. No note, no available information and all the puppies had ringworm and hairloss.

The North Richland Hills Animal Services Center has been at capacity in our dog rooms for sometime now. These puppies have now doubled in size thanks to volunteers and staff making sure they have plenty to eat, weekly medicated baths and daily oral ringworm medication. We would love to give them their own space to continue to grow and heal, but that is just not feasible currently.

We are now calling our animal community and private dog placement groups for help. If you are able to foster one or two to continue their ringworm treatment and to give them some extra TLC until the ringworm has cleared up, please email us at [email protected]. If you are with a 501c3 that is able to take one or a few into your program, please email us at [email protected].

Thank you everyone for you continued support.

Here is another Terrier friend of ours. Jamison came to Animal Services in May of 2025. Very active and very loving. Come by for a visit with him and see if he would be a match for your family.

Here is more terrier trivia for you:

American pit bull terriers need sufficient physical activity every day to help prevent problem behaviors from developing. Proper training and socialization also are a must to make your dog a good breed ambassador, as the breed is often wrongfully stereotyped as having poor manners and being unruly. Fortunately, grooming is a fairly easy task for this breed.

Harley is a young 6 yrs old lady who has a lot of energy to share. She came to us a stray in March of 2025. Yes - March!!

Many people turn away from her when they see that we have her listed as a Pit Bull Terrier. But did you know: The modern American pit bull terrier can trace its roots back to England in the early 19th century. Breeders crossed bulldogs and terriers to create spirited, courageous, and athletic dogs that were gentle with their family.
They became multipurpose working dogs—driving livestock, going on hunts, protecting property, and engaging in other duties. Plus, they were family companions. Besides being companion dogs, they also can make excellent service and therapy dogs, police and military dogs, search-and-rescue dogs, and more.

We hope that someone will give her a chance. Come by for a visit and a chat. Let her show you what a great dog she is.

Hurricane season is here, and we want to make sure you and your pets can weather any storm! ☔🐶😺

September marks National Disaster Preparedness Month, and it's critical to stay prepped and ready to go at a moment's notice. Longtime ASPCA supporter Rachael Ray notes some key tips that she and her pup, Bella Boo, use to stay prepared during disasters. Items like familiar foods, blankets or toys from home can make all the difference during these overwhelming situations. Emergencies can be scary no matter what, but having a set plan and bag packed can help quell unnecessary anxieties.

We're so thankful to have a supporter like Rachael Ray, who has provided a $400,000 grant through the to support disaster response and relief efforts 🧡
