As the year winds down, this is your last chance to make a 2025 tax-deductible gift — and change a life before tomorrow at midnight.
Every dollar you give helps our shelter pets receive medical care, training, enrichment, safety, and the second chances they deserve. Your generosity fuels ongoing spay & neuter clinics, microchip and rabies clinics, our Paw Pantry program, and so much more that supports families and pets across Williamson County.
If you’ve been meaning to give, now’s the moment. Let’s end the year strong… and start the next one with even more hope.

Highlight: Our Digital Adoption Frames Program
Meet Ralphie Mashed Potato (formerly Bolt)! After waiting 57 days at the shelter, his life changed in an instant—all because someone spotted his photo on one of our Digital Adoption Frames while sitting at the bar at Chuy’s.
They were so charmed by his sweet face that they didn’t even finish their meal… they headed straight to the shelter and adopted him on the spot. Today, Ralphie is living a life filled with love, couch snuggles, and the family he always hoped for.
Stories like Ralphie’s are exactly why our Digital Frame Program exists. These screens help pets get seen by thousands of community members in local businesses—boosting visibility, increasing adoptions, and giving overlooked animals their long-awaited chance.

Big thank you to for choosing Friends of WCAC as the recipient of their test drive incentive!

Through this campaign, they raised $1,530—and went the extra mile by purchasing toys, leashes, and beds for our adoptable pets, along with much-needed food for our Paw Pantry.

We’re incredibly grateful for community partners who don’t just talk about doing good—they do it. Turns out, a test drive can take you straight to making a difference.

While many pets are curled up inside enjoying cozy homes, others are facing the cold with no warm, protected place to rest.

Our Pads 4 Paws program is dedicated to giving outdoor dogs and cats the insulated shelters they urgently need during winter’s harshest weather. These shelters offer warmth, safety, and a sense of security — often the only refuge these pets have.

If you’re able, we invite you to share some holiday warmth with pets in need.

Your gifts help us provide life-saving shelters and ensure more animals stay safe and warm throughout the season.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

Wishing you a safe, warm, and peaceful holiday season from all of us.Jo

Day 24 of our 31 Days • 31 Ways your donations impact our community ❤️🐾

Today, we’re celebrating you—our donors, supporters, volunteers, and followers who pour so much love into the animals of Williamson County all year long.

Because of your generosity, pets received medical care, full bowls, warm beds, second chances, and forever homes. Our programs grew stronger, our outreach expanded, and our community became a kinder, more hopeful place for every animal who needed help.

Your support is the heart behind every wagging tail and every grateful purr. We couldn’t do this work without you.

As we wrap up the year, we’d love to see the joy you helped create.
📸 Post a photo of your pets enjoying the holidays in the comments! Let’s fill this season with the happy faces that make all of this worth it.

From all of us at Friends of WCAC: thank you for making this year brighter for our animals and for our community.

Day 23 of our 31 Days, 31 Ways Your Donations Impact Our Shelter

Today we’re celebrating the incredible volunteers who keep our Franklin and Fairview Paw Pantry running strong. These are the folks who show up rain or shine, donate countless hours, lift heavy bags with light hearts, and make sure our neighbors and their pets have what they need.
We truly couldn’t do it without them! Their dedication is the backbone of this program and a gift to our entire community.
Thank you for giving your time, your energy, and occasionally your lower back… all in the name of helping pets stay with the families who love them.

Meet Penny Adams—our staff pet photographer, content creator, graphic designer, and all-around creative force behind the faces you fall in love with.

Thanks to donations made to Friends of WCAC, Penny has the professional camera equipment, lighting, and computer she needs to bring out the very best in every adoptable pet. These tools help her capture personalities, brighten shy eyes, and showcase the charm that might otherwise be missed in a kennel.
Her photos don’t just look beautiful—they change lives. A great portrait helps animals get seen, get shared, and get adopted faster. And when Penny works her magic, the right family often discovers their new best friend with a single glance.
Your donations help Penny capture the personalities that spark connections. Thank you for turning snapshots into second chances.

Training that changes outcomes.

Because of donations to Friends of WCAC, our shelter has an Indoor Exercise & Behavior Training Room—a climate-controlled space where progress happens, rain or shine.

• Shelter dogs get daily exercise even during bad weather
• New dogs are behavior-tested to understand their needs and build a training plan
• Dogs learn basics like sit, stay, down, place—small skills with big impact
• Volunteers receive training to confidently work with behavior challenges
• Adopters get hands-on guidance from our on-staff dog trainer, giving them tools for success at home

That last one? It’s huge. Training helps prevent dogs from being returned to the shelter by setting families—and their pets—up to thrive together.

From rainy-day enrichment to second chances, this room turns patience into progress and donations into lasting change. 💙

Day 20 of our 31 Days • 31 Ways your donations make a difference! 🐾📸
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, Friends of Williamson County Animal Center has purchased field cameras that are transforming our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts.
These cameras give us a much clearer picture of feral cat colonies. We may receive a report of three cats, but once a camera is set up, we often discover there are actually seven. With this technology, we can better understand colony behavior—when they arrive, how they interact, and whether they’ve already been ear-tipped and sterilized.
Another huge step forward? Remote monitoring.
By connecting traps to motion-activated cameras, we no longer have to spend hours waiting on-site. Instead, real-time alerts let us monitor traps from anywhere, saving time and increasing efficiency while keeping cats safe.
These tools allow us to manage more cats humanely, accurately, and effectively than ever before.
Thank you for helping make this progress possible!

Day 19 of our 31 Days • 31 Ways your donations impact our shelter and community

Today we’re celebrating the local businesses that help shelter pets get the spotlight they deserve! Thanks to your donations, Friends of WCAC has been able to purchase Digital Adoption Frames—and these incredible businesses proudly host them in their restaurants, shops, offices, and gathering spaces.

Each frame showcases adoptable pets in real time, helping them reach thousands of eyes every week. That visibility leads to more meet-and-greets, more adoptions, and more second chances for animals who might otherwise be overlooked.

To every business that partners with us by hosting a digital frame:
Thank you for opening your doors—and your screens—to shelter pets. Your support truly helps change lives.

Together, we’re making sure every pet gets seen, and every story has a chance to become a happy ending.

Thank you!
