Tuesday night, the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter took in 44 animals from a cruelty case – 28 chickens & roosters, 9 dogs, 6 ducks and a goose. The shelter was already at critical capacity levels, and this cruelty seizure only further strains their resources, impacting capacity for care.
There are currently 460 animals at the shelter, but officials say there a a number of ways you can help.
First, fostering a medium-to-large adult dog. The shelter will work to find a match for your home, share supplies from donations, and take care of any medical issues that might arise.
Second, adopting. While the animals from the seizure may not be placed at this time, there are plenty of others that can be. All adoptable animals can be previewed at www.wilcopets.org.
Third, donate. Items in need include newspapers, dog kibble, chicken feed and small metal bowls. Go to https://tinyurl.com/WCRAS-Emergency-Response for a list of the items most in need to help the shelter through this crisis.
Fourth, spread the word. Tell friends and family about the need.
The shelter is open from noon to 6 p.m. seven days a week and is located at 1855 SE Inner Loop in Georgetown, Texas.
