November is Adopt-A-Senior-Pet Month. Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter will give a discount on dogs and cats, 5 years or older. After a $25 deduction, each pet will have an adoption fee of $60. Adoption fees cover basic vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries, and a microchip. In addition, for dogs it will include heartworm screening and for cats FIV/FeLV testing.
“The shelter has plenty of older dogs and cats that need a great home,” stated Cheryl Schneider, Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter’s director. “While puppies and kittens are adorable, senior pets have their advantages. Many of them may already be housebroken and have some basic obedience training. They are generally calmer and better behaved. The dogs are usually past the puppy stage of chewing and digging.”
The
Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter is open Tuesday through Friday from
noon to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The shelter is
located at 1855 S.E. Inner Loop in
