About us

Take Me Home Pet Rescue was founded in 2008 to meet the growing needs of the homeless pet population. City shelters were becoming more and more crowded and there was a strong need for a no-kill, foster-based rescue in Richardson, Texas. With the addition of the Adoption Center in 2012, Take Me Home has saved over 3,300 animals with a budget of just $325,000 per year.

Adopting Hope has been a blessing for our entire family. She is as smart and sweet as she is beautiful and obedient. We think she has taught us all to live life to the fullest, not sweating the small stuff like missing a back leg. In fact, she has been such a positive force in our home, within a year we decided we wanted to give another rescue pup a home after all, Hope needed a playmate! After a quick play date between Hope and our soon to be Scout, we quickly knew this was what we were meant to do. Hope and Scout spend their days playing with toys, chasing squirrels, and swimming in the pool; Scout swims while Hope watches. We feel blessed to have adopted two dogs with very different personalities, both rounding out our family so well.

We just recently adopted our 7 month old rescue pup named Lincoln from Take Me Home Pet Rescue. Their foster staff is unbelievable when it comes to their commitment in caring and "rehabbing" these rescue animals. I went to one of their meet and greet after we lost our dog of 13 years and the staff was extremely supportive and understanding about our loss. They were able to make suggestions as to what dog might best fit into our household given our existing dog's challenges and our cat who was an avid dog lover. They matched us up quickly with Lincoln and went above and beyond in helping us and him with the transition to our home.

My husband and I adopted our dog, Gigi, almost 2 years ago from this organization. She was found roaming the streets in pretty bad shape when this rescue took her into their program. They took care of her medical needs and their volunteers worked with her at their center for 3 weeks allowing her to decompress and feel safe. We took it from there but we had a wonderful experience and have since referred neighbors and friends their way. We love our sweet girl!
