Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter
WCRAS is an open admission animal shelter that intakes animals from the unincorporated areas of Williamson County and the cities of Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, and Hutto.
WCRAS accepts all animals from within our jurisdiction regardless of health, age, temperament whether there is space or not. Adoptions and owner reclaims are vital for the shelter to continue to save at least 90% of the animals that enter the shelter. Currently WCRAS has been saving 90% or more for over three years. We only euthanize for medical that no longer have a good quality of life, or for behavior issues that make the animal unsafe to place in a home. WCRAS also relies on donations to pay for all the medical illness and/or injuries that come into the shelter. Without that support, all these animals would have to be euthanized. Thank you for sharing the animals in need of homes and supporting WCRAS!

Walter was brought to the shelter by a member of the public from Cedar Park. He had a severe injury to his foot, and after consulting with vets, it was determined the best thing for Walter was amputation. He's healing up very well now and is available for adoption! All of that is only possible because of your support for our life-saving mission through your donations to #JanesFund.
Support us in the local generosity movement! Participate in a worldwide day of giving and unity, #GivingTuesday, on Tuesday, November 30. @ilivehereigivehere is calling Central Texas to come together to support local nonprofits as they face urgent and increasing need and to take action for good for our neighbors in need. Support us on wilcopets.org. #ilivehereigivehere

#POTW Oreo is one of the many pets hoping to be chosen for our #homefortheholidays🎄 foster program this holiday season. It's simple - sign up to be a foster here: http://pets.wilco.org/How-to-Help, then come pick her up and give her the gift of a warm home 🏠, comfy bed, and extra tennis balls for the holiday season!
If it's a perfect match, you can adopt her at any time. Otherwise, bring her back to us. The program ends on January 3rd, 2022.
All medium/large adult dogs and adult cats are eligible for this program.
As a foster, you can even take part in a brand-new training program - the folks over at @GoodPupApp are now offering customized, affordable, POSITIVE dog training in the comfort of your own home to all of our fosters and adopters! #GoodPup #goodpuptraining

#PetsOfTheWeek 🐶 Who doesn't love an Oreo cookie 🍪? This easygoing older gal, lovingly referred to as Double-Stuffed Oreo here at the shelter, has been waiting a long time for her new adventure to begin. She'd love a nice comfy bed to snooze in; long, leisurely walks where she can take in all the newest sights and smells; and plenty of love and affection from her new adult family.
She's been described as curious, active, and playful; she gets along with male dogs (we always recommend a meet & greet); and she loves car rides, fetch, and fun in the water. And this girl's got smarts - she's been enjoying lots of time training as one of our Honor Roll 'students.' 🙂
Her biggest fan gifted her with an Adoption Angel, so her fee is paid. All she needs now is for you to come begin that amazing new adventure with her! Email 📨adoption@wilco.org to schedule a priority-service appointment to meet this lovely lady.

#PetsoftheWeek
🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIKITA! 🎉
Nikita just turned 7 years old, and we're celebrating all things Nikita. Now, we try not to focus on a cat's looks around here, but get a load of those eyes! They're stunning. Nikita has the best eyes EVER, and we know that's true cuz we took a poll. 😉
Nikita's birthday wish is to meet that special someone who will sweep her off her feet and give her the glorious new beginning she deserves, a home of her very own, with lots of yummy treats, big sunny spots to lounge in, a comfy window perch, and a person who will adore her just as much as she adores them.
Nikita wants to be the queen of the castle 🏰, and she prefers to rule over adults only. This beauty will reward your kindnesses with a life of love, purrs, and biscuits. Email 📨adoption@wilco.org to meet her today!

🔊 Sound on for full purr! 🔊
This sweet little guy, whom we've named Sunny, was found by a Good Samaritan after being hit by a car. 🥺 Sunny suffered from a skull and jaw fracture, jaw dislocation, broken teeth, and multiple abrasions. The emergency vet team quickly noted how, despite such injuries, Sunny had a wonderful disposition. After consulting with us, they went to work to get him on the path to recovery, and just look at him now!
Sunny is recovering very well in a foster home 🏠, is scheduled to be neutered, and will then be available for adoption! This is all thanks to the donations we receive to our medical fund🩺, Jane's Fund. Without it, Sunny's outlook would have been dim.
We've had a lot of medical cases over the past several weeks, and we want to continue to help dogs and cats just like Sunny get well and go on to 🌟happy new futures🌟. Your donations, big and small, help us continue our life-saving mission.
Go to wilcopets.org and click on the big yellow Donate button, then select the medical fund where it asks you to choose a fund. 💸
Thank you for donating!

#AdoptionPupdate 🐶 "In January I adopted Diamond, now named Soka. She took a little bit of time to warm up to me, but now she is the most loyal dog I have ever owned. She refuses to leave my side and is always ecstatic whenever I come home. We go on walks daily, and she always manages to find a stick wherever we go. When I take her to the park, she loves to run around constantly until she is completely exhausted.
"She is very obedient and is now trained on the basics and then some. She doesn’t like baths, but always manages to go head first into the creek at any chance she has. When she first got here, she would not eat. Now, she does nothing else but give me puppy dog eyes when I am eating French fries 🍟 or popcorn 🍿, even though she eats twice a day. She loves to roll around in the grass and is wary of strangers, but once she is introduced she acts like they are a part of the pack. She loves to snuggle while watching tv 📺 and keep everyone in the house up at night while she chews on her bone the loudest she can. 🤣
"Not only is she happy, but she brightens the day of anyone she comes into contact with. Thank you Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, she has found her forever home."
Thank you for the pupdate & thank you for adopting! ❤️
Want to give a dog or cat this kind of life? We've got so many great pets to choose from here, and if you schedule an appointment, you an adopt for just $2 (special applied to all medium & large adult dogs, adult cats, and kittens). Email 📨 adoption@wilco.org to schedule your appointment today!
