Food for Fosters

We wanted to take a moment to clarify our policy regarding food for foster dogs.

It has recently come to our attention that there has been some confusion regarding the distribution of dog food. In the past, some fosters have received full bags of food from the shelter. However, we have since learned that our food supply is designated specifically for the dogs in our on-site care and is not intended for foster placements.

Moving forward, each foster home will receive a Ziploc bag of food when a dog is placed in their care to help with the transition. After that, fosters are responsible for either providing their own food or obtaining food from our community pet pantry, when supplies are available.

Please note that our community pet pantry is not always fully stocked, so we encourage fosters to plan on providing food for their foster dogs whenever possible.

💜💛We appreciate your understanding and your continued support. Your willingness to foster makes a tremendous difference in the lives of the dogs we serve, and we are grateful for everything you do.💜💛

🚨 Bottle Baby Kitten Fosters Needed Urgently! 🍼🐱

We are in desperate need of bottle baby kitten fosters! Kitten season is in full swing, and we have tiny, vulnerable babies who need around-the-clock care to survive.

Bottle babies require feeding every 2–4 hours, warmth, and lots of love until they're old enough to eat on their own. If you've ever thought about fostering, now is the time—you could truly save a life.

Our team of experienced fosters provide guidance and support every step of the way. Even fostering for a short time can make a huge difference.

If you have a spare room, a little time, and a big heart, please consider opening your home to these precious kittens. Please email us at [email protected] if you're interested or would like more information on our foster kitten program!

Can't foster? Please share this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share increases the chance these babies find the care they desperately need.

💛💜Together, we can give these tiny lives the chance they deserve. 🐾💛💜

💛Foster Needed for Sweet Bubba! 💛

Bubba is a gentle senior boy who deserves the comfort of a home while he waits for his forever family. His back legs are weak, so he's looking for a one-story home where he can rest, relax, and move around safely. A little extra help on slippery floors is all he needs.

This sweet gentleman isn't asking for much—just a soft bed, good meals, and someone to show him kindness. After everything he's been through, we'd love for Bubba to spend his days surrounded by love instead of shelter walls.

Can you open your home to this deserving senior?💜💛

Please email [email protected] if you are interested in fostering or share this post to help Bubba find the cozy home he's been waiting for.

💜💛As always, thank you for fostering with Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter ! 💜💛

Foster Plea for sweet Mr. Abel!

Abel had to get a passport and move abroad (first NJ then Pennsylvania) to make room for flooding victims last July and now that he’s back in Texas, he needs someone to return the favor.

He is a gentle soul who used to live with older kids and a female bull terrier. He especially loves the ladies and is very gentle and calm with the older set like himself but still has a lot of energy. You’d never know his age. He is a perfect houseguest. Say kennel up and he goes right into his crate. He also does a perfect sit, shake, down and roll over. He is sooooo smart. He loves to observe wildlife and rarely barks at them and after a little bit of sun, he loves to take a nap. He has a very shiny chocolate coat that doesn’t shed and loves the water.
Once he gets to know you, he is incredibly loyal and loves to lean into you like a Dane or lay by your feet.

He has been through so much. Do you have room in your heart and home for this sweet guy?

If you are willing to foster Abel, please email [email protected] with your interest.
