The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter held Central Texas’ only “Clear the Shelter” event as part of a national campaign. The center had visitors all day July 23 and was able to find new homes for 70 animals, including Chuck, a chow mix who had been in residence the longest.
On the flip side, they also took in 29 new animals so there are still many looking for a family.
Adoption fees were waived for the day and there are still several animals on the Angel Adoption list, meaning their fees have already been paid by a donor.

Staff reports cat adoptions were not as many as hoped; they still have a large number of kittens ready for new homes and encourage residents to stop by for a new house pet, or even a barn cat. Staff are ready to assist you in the perfect choice.
Brianna Peterson of Liberty Hill, pictured above, fell for a tiger tabby kitten on Saturday. She decided she was ready for a new cat after her beloved pet passed away last year.
