I have had a lot of dealings with BRHS over the years. Most importantly, I adopted two cats from…read morethem. The process was smooth and took just a few minutes. The cats were healthy, had been chipped, and we're up to date on their shots. Nine years later, my girls are still going strong! I have volunteered there as well. Their Kibble Crew works very hard to bag hundreds of pounds of dog and cat food to give away to the community. I can't imagine how much food has been given out. The shelter is always clean. The staff there is knowledgeable and their top priority is the animals. I recommend them every chance I get.

What a lovely safe haven for precious animals waiting for forever homes. Very clean and animals…read moredon't look stressed here. It's smaller than most shelters but that seems to lend itself to less stress & more attention to the animals. They have an adult cat room that is filled with plush beds and outdoor access. On the wall there are magnetic pics of who is for adoption with a professional picture & their name. There is a separate kitten room where the antics are captivating. Dogs are separated far enough away from cats to minimize any anxiety. The staff is very friendly and helpful, willing to give any info they can on a particular animal. I highly recommend this Humane Society if you are looking for a fur-ever companion. They also have a thrift store you can donate and buy an array of great finds from. The store is located in city of Hendersonville

Helpful, a lot of information. Also has lots of referral places for your pet.read more

She calms my son on the spectrum and sleeps with him at night. She has awakened the empath in me and increased my drive/motivation.

Thank you Foothills Humane Society for everything you do!

This organization is completely backwards in regulating adoptions. My dog that had been lost for…read moreover a year showed up on their website, and I was completely ecstatic. I thought it was a miracle. When I contacted them they informed me that the dog was already adopted and they gave me some big story to guilt me into not pursuing the matter further. However we made an agreement that I would get my dog if this adoption fell through (I prayed that it would). The adoption did fall through but the organization went ahead and adopted my dog to another family. When I pursued the matter they told me the previous adopter was a horrible fit but this one was much better giving me another sob story to sway my persistence but I would not budge this time because this was my dog and I knew that he would be best in my care. The organization refused to give me my dog back stating that the dog was now the property of the animal shelter and that I had no rights over the dog. It amazes me that with all the animals that need a home this organization went through so much effort to place this dog when it already had a home to go to and a more than willing owner to take responsibility of him. I was treated with complete disrespect by Patricia Beam who I suppose is the head adoption coordinator. She refused to give me any information or contact information for the board member that was apparently making the executive decisions on my case. When my mother kept pressing her for his name and information she was told that the information had to go through her and then she hung up the phone abruptly. I can't believe the treatment we have received from this organization and I cannot believe that my dog has been forever taken away from me because of sheer incompetence and lack of professionalism. I pray that my dog is with a good family; although, I know he belongs with me. This organization will never receive another donation from my friends and family.

Playground review: it's a super nice space and is designed for ages 2-12. There's a ton of different equipment for all abilities.

My child enjoyed every opportunity to meet animals in a relaxed and educational environment. They have a wonderful playground outside and is free. The animal tour is $10 / adult and $3 for kids. Worth every penny, my kid had never enjoyed animals until this trip. The outdoor animals are in excellent comfort and clean areas. We fed goats and pigs. Then we went inside and saw Guinea pigs, rabbits, and a lizard! Phenomenal educational opportunity!! You do need a reservation for the animal tours and they have summer camp so call Ahead to make sure it's available. Parking is in the lot.

I was not told if any other option and ended up taking two of them in giving me now six cats spending around 1000.00 for vet checks and neuter. Then I saw them GIVING away kittens and other cats that would be around the same ag as my Patches and Tucker. They were taken in the shelter AFTER I asked for help. I have donated my art and money to all the shelters around me and when it was my turn to get help they didn't help me. I suppose I appeared well off financially so they shoved me to the side. They also asked me to write my name and address down so they could send me a card. I never got it. In response they said there was a law that they had to leave space for pregnant cats. There is no such law and when I asked to see the law they told me they were done arguing. Ahd then they told me they were "private" which explains why the shelter is so tiny Filthy and in need of repair. Patches and Tucker are much better off with me but their sister is still out there. So I have to take in the cats dumped on me probably after they were adopted out of the shelter and other people get help? There is something wrong with that

Shame on Teresa from Charlotte for writing a negative review for such a minor issue! Richardson…read moreRescue has and continues to save the lives of many animals and why anyone would try to distract others from adopting and saving an animal is beyond me... Even if her adopted pet did get kennel cough prior to being adopted that certainly doesn't warrant a negative review. Animals get colds and viruses just like people do and it can't always be avoided especially when they are taking in strays and/or uncared for pets. When you adopt an animal you have a responsibility to care for your new pet and should expect to pay for what ever medical ailment and treatment he/she should need immediately following the adoption process. If you can't afford medical care for unexpected medical issues then you shouldn't be adopting a pet. Thank you Richardson Rescue for protecting animals and saving their lives!!! You are special people who are appreciated and valued for the service you provide!!

The owner, Janet, said all emails had been sent out. She said to apply for a second time in case there was some glitch or typo. I applied for a second time on 9/12 around 12pm. Given it was a weekend, she said they would process it Monday or Tuesday. Tuesday, 9/15, I again have zero emails. I messaged her on facebook asking what the status was on my second application, and she said that all emails had been sent out. Again, I had zero emails (including in the spam folder) from them. She apologized over messenger and told me to call the next day between 10 and 3:30 and tell whoever answers the phone that Janet said to apply over the phone. Wednesday, 9/16, I called around 12:40 to no answer and left a voicemail. I didn't receive a single call back, so Thursday, 9/17, I called again around 1:30, to no answer. As of 9/19, he's now been taken off the website, I assume adopted. How can you run a rescue, begging for donations and adopters, yet don't answer people who are genuinely interested. What a scam.
