Welcome

Rowlett Animal Adoption

Online Shelter

- In Loving Memory -   Captain Michael Allen Cook (9/3/63 - 4/15/06) Mike was a big guy, with an even bigger heart. His career as a Firefighter/EMT for the City of Plano was his life. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do to help someone in need, including abused, neglected or homeless animals. Mike had 4 rescued Chihuahuas of his own, of which he was so very proud.  Thank you, Mike, for EVERYTHING you did to help us and the animals.     Vicki Hill, who founded Rowlett Animal Adoption. She lost her brief, but valiant battle with cancer in January 1997. To honor her memory, our tireless volunteers devote their time and energy to save lives which Vicki valued so dearly.  Rest in peace Vicki.  We love and miss you both so much!

PLEASE HELP THE ANIMALS!!!

We need so many things: cleaning supplies, puppy formula,  a fax machine, digital camera, grooming services, dog collars, baby food-meat and starch - no veggies or fruit, baby rice, vaccines, wormer, pens to put animals in at adopt-a-thons, carriers, leashes, Karo syrup, mineral oil, bowls, treats, food, and syringes. 

We could also use the following; hay, towels, bedding, dog outfits of all sizes and any other items to keep the animals warm during cold nights.

THANKS to all who have donated, every little bit counts!  Perhaps above all, monetary donations are also needed to cover vet bills. They are tax deductible and VERY much appreciated.

Terms of Adoption

We are a non-profit, no-kill, all volunteer Rescue Group. Your new pet will receive its first puppy or kitten vaccines and will be de-wormed. Adult dogs and cats are spayed or neutered and have been rabies vaccinated.

Rowlett Animal Adoption was organized for the primary purpose of saving animals from euthanization and placing them in good homes as well as educating the public on responsible pet ownership and the importance of spay/neuter. Almost all of our animals are rescued from the pound.

Each year, more than 7 million dogs and cats are euthanized in our pounds and shelters. They are the result of unplanned pregnancies in pets who were not spayed or neutered and careless owners who have allowed their pets to roam and breed indiscriminately.

Rowlett Animal Adoption is a "no-kill", non-profit rescue organization, whose mission it is to give these pets another chance at adoption and life. Our reasonable adoption fees cover only direct expenses of pet care. We are all volunteers. Rowlett Animal Adoption has no paid workers.

Our animals are presently in volunteer foster homes until they can find a new family. Their only wish is to know the love of human touch and to give love in return.  Family foster homes ensure well socialized pets and give us an opportunity to assess temperament and personality to make the ideal people/pet match-ups. Enjoy your visit to our site and find the new of your life!

Adoption Policies and Fees

Adoption Policies

All persons adopting animals are obliged to sign an adoption agreement which outlines requirements for the animals care.  Please see the Terms of Agreement link above. 

If the adopting party decides against keeping the animal, the animal will be allowed to be brought back for another animal. RAA does not refund adoption fees but will be happy to work with a family looking for a particular pet.

RAA Adoption Fees

An adoption fee is charged which is based upon whether the animal has been altered or not. The purpose of the adoption fee is to offset RAA’s cost.  Fees vary depending on the age of the animal, whether it is purebred or mixed and whether or not it has been spayed/neutered. 

It is very critical for all pet owners to understand the importance of spaying and neutering. About 80% of all animals put to sleep each year are healthy, adoptable animals, there just isn’t enough homes for them all. It is also very important for pet owners to register their pet with the City and put identification tags on them!
