🐾 Meet River! 🐾

Three-mile walk? Easy—I’ll still have energy to play! I take treats like a gentleman, ride calmly in the car (even if they scare me a little), and I didn’t bark once. 🎉

I’m a little high-energy in my kennel, but once you get me outside I chill out, play with my toys, and if you’ve got a frog toy? 🐸 That’s my jam!

Foodie-approved: Dunkin’ Pup Cups, Dunkin’ Bacon, Whataburger, and even In-N-Out (plain cheeseburger, please). 🍔 Cool with squirrels, cool with ducks, and ready for my forever family—maybe with older kids who understand I’m still in my goofy puppy stage.

👉 Come meet me—I’m River, your new best friend! 💙🐶

Petco Love and the North Richland Hills Animal Services Center want to hear how your adopted pet has transformed your life in big and small ways. Submissions open on August 11th, 2025, for Petco Love Stories, an annual call for adopters across the county to share their heartwarming and inspiring tales of love about the pet they adopted from their local animal welfare organization.

We want you to brag about your pet and submit your love story to inspire more pet adoptions and help shelter pets find loving homes. Each Petco Love Story entry of a pet adopted from the North Richland Hills Animal Services Center gives us a chance to win a lifesaving investment up to $100,000.

Happy Toe Beans Alert!!

Good Morning!

I was reaching out because I adopted Piquillo (now known as August) back in June, and wanted to share an update!

When I got him, I was told he was the most skittish cat they had. He hid, hissed, and was scared of almost everything. But now, he is the most cuddly, playful, and talkative cat! He loves to curl up next to me and sleep, play with anything and everything, and he loves to meow and chirp all day long!

The transition period to get to this point was filled with a lot of ups and downs, but now, August is super happy and puts on a brave face every day exploring new areas and meeting new people!

GOT WABBITS - WE DO

Pistachio and Pecan are available for adoption. Rabbits can be rewarding pets but are not low-maintenance. While they are adorable and social, caring for them involves specific needs like a spacious enclosure, a balanced diet, regular grooming, and veterinary care. They require significant attention, and owners need to be prepared for the responsibility, including potential costs associated with their specialized care.

Check out https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/rabbits for more information on how to the be best rabbit care taker you can be.

Meet Ace, an older gentleman of the canine variety who may initially come across as a bit of a grump, but don’t let that fool you. Beneath his gruff exterior lies a heart of gold and a penchant for affection.

Ace is a seasoned companion who has seen his fair share of adventures, and while he carries the wisdom of age, he also has some skin issues that are easily managed with medicated shampoos. He thrives in a calm, quiet household where he can relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

Once Ace warms up to you, he transforms into an absolute love bug, ready to shower you with loyalty and affection. If you have a serene home and are looking for a devoted friend, Ace might just be the perfect addition to your family.

* * ADOPTED * *

Amelia is a lovely older lady who is in search of a peaceful and cozy environment to spend her days. This gentle soul appreciates the quiet comfort of a serene home where she can rest and relax. While she cherishes the company of people and enjoys their presence, she values solitude when it comes to the animal kingdom, preferring to be the only pet in the household.

Her ideal home would be one where she can curl up in a warm nook, perhaps by a window with a view of nature, and enjoy the calm ambiance. In return, she offers companionship, warmth, and the kind of love that only a seasoned heart can provide. If you’re seeking a tranquil and loving presence in your home, she might just be the perfect match.

River is a lively and energetic companion! It’s wonderful to see such enthusiasm in a pet, but it’s understandable that a little training might be needed to help channel that energy.

To address River’s love for play and lack of understanding of personal space, consider implementing a structured training routine. Basic obedience commands such as “sit,” “stay,” and “come” can create boundaries and improve communication between you and River.

Positive reinforcement, using treats or praise, can be very effective in encouraging desired behaviors. Additionally, providing plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation through toys or puzzle games can help satisfy River’s playfulness while teaching them when it’s time to settle down.

Remember, patience and consistency are key, and with time, River will learn the balance between fun and respecting personal space.
