Good News for Pet Owners in Georgetown!

Hey Georgetown! If you’ve ever lost a furry friend, you know how heartbreaking it can be. But guess what? The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter (WCRAS) is here to bring some sunshine to your day! In March, they achieved an incredible milestone by reuniting a record 97 pets with their loving families. Now that’s a reason to cheer!

Celebrate with Free Reunion Fees!

To mark this fantastic achievement, the shelter is waiving all reunion fees for this weekend! That’s right—if your pet is currently missing, now is the perfect time to take advantage of their free reclaiming services. Imagine the joy of having your pet back in your arms without any financial hurdle.

Technological Tools Making a Difference

You might be wondering how WCRAS manages to bring so many pets back home. Well, they utilize some pretty nifty technological tools to help reunite lost pets with their owners. One such tool is Petco Love Lost, an image-matching system where you can register your pet’s photo in a database. If someone finds your pet, they can easily match the image and get in touch with you!

There’s also an online visual mapping tool designed to help identify lost and found pets in specific neighborhoods. It makes it super easy for citizens to stay updated on any lost furry pals in their area.

Become a Temporary Hero with ‘Finder to Foster’

‘Finder to Foster’ initiative allows you to temporarily house the pet instead of bringing it directly to the shelter. Not only will you be helping out a lost animal in need, but you’ll also receive a few bonus perks! Participants get free vaccinations, microchipping, and even some trendy T-shirts and pet tags for the furry finders.

Keep Your Pets Safe with Vaccination Clinics

$10 per animal and microchipping for $15. Remember, Tennessee law requires all dogs and cats over six months old to be vaccinated against rabies. Not vaccinating could result in fines, or worst of all, the removal of your beloved pet. Getting your pet vaccinated not only keeps them safe but also gives you peace of mind!

A Shelter That’s Over Capacity!

265 pets, significantly exceeding their usual capacity of 110 and critical threshold of 170. To help with this situation, they are offering adoptions for an unbelievably low fee of just $3.14 this weekend! That’s just a small price to pay for a new best friend!

Visit and Meet Your New Best Friend!

Wilco Way in Georgetown. Pets like Abraham, Sully, and Axis are eager to meet you! Who knows, you might just find your newest family member waiting for you.
