We’re thrilled to announce that Friends of Williamson County Animal Center is a proud recipient of a 2024 @pedigreefoundation grant! This year, the foundation awarded over $1.2 million to 96 shelter and rescue organizations across the U.S. and Canada to help find homes for over 77,000 dogs in need.
With our $50,000 grant, Williamson County Animal Center is excited to collaborate with our neighbors, @cheathamcountyanimal and @maurycountyanimalservices. Together, we’ll establish a comprehensive training program aimed at preventing unnecessary dog surrenders. Most of this funding will be used to hire skilled trainers, ensuring that dogs receive essential training at no cost to their families.
We are incredibly grateful for this support, which enables us to continue our mission of keeping dogs in their loving homes and out of shelters. Thank you, PEDIGREE Foundation, for helping us make a lasting impact on the lives of pets and their families in our community.
Thanks to @friendsofwcactn and @waltripcares, and a grant from @aspca to fund Saturday’s rabies and microchip clinic! Over 80 dogs and cats in our community were served!

FRIENDS HELPING FRIENDS FEATURE FRIDAY
Meet Little Boy, a darling 5 year old orange kitty currently at Cheatham County Animal Control. Little Boy needs our help to fix his gums and teeth. Poor buddy needs to get all of his teeth extracted and, as you can imagine, it’s a pretty expensive surgery. SCAMP is going to take care of the bill, but we rely on donations and fundraising to help animals like Little Boy when the shelter budget isn’t enough to cover the need. Best news though is that Little Boy is expected to be just fine and will be able to be adopted by someone soon!

“Life is like a cup of mocha: rich, warm, and full of delightful surprises. Embrace every moment with a wagging tail, whether you’re playing fetch or snuggling up for a cozy nap. Just like a mocha, life is best enjoyed with a little sweetness, a lot of love, and plenty of playtime.” 🐾☕🐶
Meet Mocha
Age 1, Weight: 55 pounds
Good with dogs: yes
Good with cats: no
Good with kids: yes
House trained: Yes
Mocha is a fun energetic girl looking for a family to take her on all their adventures! She is potty-trained, crate-trained, and very respectful in the home. Mocha has done well interacting with children, and she is very eager to please. Mocha loves to run and play but she is equally as happy to snuggle on the couch and watch a movie! She loves her people and wants to be wherever you are. She enjoys car rides, hiking, playing in the creek at her foster’s home, and just lounging with her people.
If you have been looking for a ride or die pup who loves to adventure, this might just be the girl of your dreams!
Mocha is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet her, please fill out an application on our website and we will get it to her foster family.
