Who Are We?
Mission Statement:
Take Me Home Pet Rescue is a 100% nonprofit organization committed to reducing the homeless pet population by removing dogs and cats from shelters and other unfortunate situations and having them spayed, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before being adopted to their forever families.
We consists of an ever growing core group of volunteers who care about the welfare of our homeless pets. We are located in Richardson, Texas and survive solely from generous donations and fundraiser's (after fundraiser...after fundraiser!). All of our pets live in our homes. Because they live within the dynamics of the foster families and are introduced to children of all ages and other pets, we find that that our foster cats and dogs are more adoptable as they have already been socialized to live in a family environment.
We have been in existence since April 2008 and have already rescued over 750 dogs and cats from local kill shelters and other unfortunate situations.
All dogs and cats are spayed and neutered before being adopted. These pets also receive necessary medical treatment, vaccinations and are microchipped. In effort to reduce the possibility of the pet being returned, adopters are carefully screened to be sure that the personality of both the pet and adopter are a good match.
Visit "Adoptable Pets" for more information on dogs and cats that are currently available for adoption.

Here are a few of our Junior Volunteers with their foster pets. TMHPR was started by families with children and we want to carry on this tradition though we have grown to incorporate many different types of volunteers.
Someone once asked us, "Why do you work so hard for just one dog?" Well, the answer is simple. It makes a difference to that one dog and the lives that one dog touches. Together we can make a BIG difference to MANY homeless pets by bringing joy into their lives and those lives that they touch.
