City of North Richland Hills Animal Services - North Richland Hills Animal Adoption & Rescue Center
Our Mission
North Richland Hills Animal Services is dedicated to protecting the health, safety, and welfare of both people and animals in our community. We provide services with professional precision, consistently tempered by our deep compassion for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Serving Our Community
As a division of the City of North Richland Hills Neighborhood Services Department, we serve as a safe haven for lost or unwanted pets. Our staff is proud to be recognized at the state and national levels for our commitment to excellence, compassionate animal care, and innovative community programs.
How We Care
We operate the city’s Animal Adoption & Rescue Center (AARC), a facility focused on reuniting lost pets and re-homing animals into loving, permanent environments. Our care is bolstered by a dedicated volunteer team that provides essential support, socialization, and attention to help our animals thrive while they await their forever families. We also utilize a foster network for animals that require extra care or medical attention during their recovery.
A Meaningful Partnership
Adoption is the start of a beautiful, lifelong journey, and we believe in creating successful, lasting matches. By prioritizing professional care and humane treatment, we ensure every animal is ready to transition into a new home. We invite you to visit our shelter, meet our wonderful residents, and find your next best friend.
Connect With Us
Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or simply stay informed, we invite you to join our mission. You can browse our adoptable pets online, follow us on Facebook for updates, or visit our facility on Iron Horse Blvd to see our work in action. We are grateful for every supporter who helps us provide a brighter future for our animals.
