The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter (WCRAS) is asking local residents to assist in reducing the shelter’s capacity through adoption and fostering, as it reaches an over-capacity status for cats and dogs alike. 

Interested adopters can help the shelter make space through adoption, including free adoptions for cats and kittens with an appointment or $5 without an appointment. Additionally, through Sunday, July 25, 2021, medium and large adult dogs are only $5 to adopt with an appointment or $20 without an appointment. 

"WCRAS counts on the community to lend a hand when we reach capacity, and now is one of those times,” said April Peiffer, WCRAS community programs coordinator. “We are over capacity for both dogs and cats, and we need to make space so we can continue to provide the level of care the community expects for the shelter pets. Adopters and fosters can help us continue our lifesaving mission." 

Residents can see the available pets at wilcopets.org and then send an email to adoption@wilco.org to schedule a priority-service appointment with one of the adoption matchmakers.
