Featured Pet: Belle
BELLE NEEDS YOUR HELP! Belle was recently attacked and has had a long recovery. She has severe wounds on her two bandaged legs and had to have another leg amputated. She has undergone 4 surgeries so far, a blood transfusion and almost daily cleaning and bandaging of her wounds. She still has a ways to go and her vet bill will continue to grow until she is completely healed. You can make a donation online at: www.hillcrestanimalrescue.org or Mail to: PO Box 3601 McKinney, TX 75070 Belle is a heeler mix; born around August, 2004; she is spayed and current with vaccines, heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Belle is house trained and crate trained; she has good house manners but must be crated if left alone in the house to prevent boredom chewing. She loves attention and wants to be devoted to her person, would love to be where ever s/he is Belle is a high energy girl who needs a job or activity to keep her busy; she would do well with agility or any herding activity . She is initially timid in new situations but settles in quickly and becomes an adoring dog with lots of love and kisses. She gets along well w/ other dogs but should not be in a home with cats or small children because of her enthusiasm for herding.![]()

About Us
We are dedicated to saving as many homeless, neglected and abused animals as possible. All of the animals we take into our foster homes are given medical attention as required. They are current with their shots, heartworm preventive and flea/tick treatments. Each animal is spayed or neutered as soon as she/he is old and/or healthy enough for the surgery. Our dogs and cats are kept in a home environment, use a dog door and live with other dogs and cats in groups that get along together. Our special rescues, lizards, birds other little fuzzy creatures also live in our home. We also have rescued horses and pot belly pigs; although not part of our rescue, we have Texas Longhorns that the other kids think are here for their entertainment. We strive to match pets and people so that everyone is happy. The animals here are part of our family; we hope that one of them might become a part of yours. We maintain a list of people looking for a particular type of pet to join their family and provide a listing service for anyone needing to find a new home for any animal.Adopting A Friend
To adopt a new friend from us, you need to make an appointment to meet the animal(s) of interest. We require that you complete an application for adoption prior to this visit. This helps us determine who might be a good match for your environment and that you meet our adoption requirements. We look at each application based on the needs and requirements of the animal in question.
We have a few strict requirements:
Our adoption fees vary from animal to animal. We use 100% of the adoption fees to offset our rescue expenses. We also appreciate and use 100% all other gifts to take care of our rescued animals.
- We only adopt to people seeking a friend/companion animal.
- Current or previous pet owners should have good vet references.
- Current companion animals must be altered if they are of age unless there is a medical reason for not having done so.
Once your application for adoption has been approved, we will make an appointment to bring your new friend to your home. We ask that all members of your family be present for this meeting. We continue to stay in touch with you to be sure that you, your family and new friend are all doing well and are happy together. You are always welcome to contact us also. If, at any time, you cannot keep an animal you adopt from us, we require that you return the animal to us or that we agree to any new home prior to the animal going to that new home.
New homes are required to pass our application process but no fees are charged.Come Visit Us
