Who would like to ring in the new year with kittens?

We have a gray and white kitten named Kate McCallister and a bonded pair of kittens named Peppermint and Cranberry who will need to be adopted together.

Williamson County Animal Center is open today until 6pm, but if you are interested, we recommend coming in as soon as possible. These littles won't last long!

Sock got to spend Christmas in a loving foster home, and we learned so much about this awesome boy! His foster said:
“We were lucky enough to have Sock for Christmas. He is eager to please and enjoys being close to his humans. He is house trained, sleeps in his crate, walks well on leash, and checks in often off leash. He spent time on our farm running freely and also explored downtown Franklin like a champ! We love him!”
Sock is now back at the shelter and ready to find his forever family. If you’d like to meet this affectionate, well-mannered adventurer, stop by tomorrow from 10am–6pm!
✨ It’s also the FINAL DAY of our $25 Operation Silent Night adoption special — the perfect time to give a great dog a great home. Come meet Sock!

College Grove residents, do you recognize this cat?

This poor guy has had a pretty stressful week. A citizen was parked on Falls Ridge Lane for the day, and when they later headed toward the 840 on-ramp, they began hearing noises from their vehicle. Sadly, this big black cat fell out from underneath the wheel well area of the car.

He was understandably shaken and a bit banged up, but he is now safe and on the road to recovery.

With our recent cold snap, it’s not uncommon for cats to seek warmth in car engines or wheel wells. This fella was not wearing a collar and is not microchipped, but he is neutered, so we believe he belongs to someone. He’s a large, well-fed-looking cat who doesn’t appear to have missed many meals.

If you live in or around College Grove and recognize this black cat—or know someone who may be missing him—please help us spread the word.

📞 If you recognize him, please call (615) 790-5590 x3400. We are open until 6pm today and from 10am-6pm Wednesday.

Important reminder: Always take a moment to bang on your car hood and check around your wheels before starting your engine, especially during colder weather. That quick step can save a life.

Sharing this post could help reunite him with his family. Thank you for looking out for our community’s pets.

Bo is soaking up his holiday vacation and giving us some AMAZING feedback to help him find his future family! His foster shared:
“Bo’s profile says it’s unknown how he is with kids and cats. My kids are 16 and 13 and he’s great with them! We had a friend visit with a 6-month-old baby and Bo was very curious, but after ‘the sniffs,’ he was incredibly gentle. As for the cat, he truly doesn’t care at all — so I’d confidently say he’s good with cats! We haven’t had the chance to see him around other dogs yet, so we can’t speak to that. He is completely housebroken and definitely lets you know when he needs to go potty! It has been SO great fostering Bo!”

Bo is proving to be such a polite house guest, and this kind of real-life experience is exactly why holiday fostering matters. Not only are our dogs enjoying a cozy break from the shelter, but we’re learning important details that help match them with loving homes.

Most of our foster pets will return this Friday–Monday, unless their foster families decide to adopt. And that’s totally up to them — no pressure at all. Opening their homes, loving these dogs, and sharing what they’ve learned is already a priceless gift, and we are so grateful.
Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s keep cheering Bo on!

UPDATE: All puppies have been ADOPTED!

Meet Holly, Jolly, and Merry!
These three puppies are brand new to our adoption floor and ready to start the New Year in loving homes.

📍 Williamson County Animal Center
Open today from 10am–6pm

Right now, adoption fees are just $25 for all adoptable pets with approved applications through 12/31. If you’re thinking about a puppy, we wouldn’t suggest waiting long—these cuties are sure to find homes quickly.

Meet Jake & Betty — a bonded pair looking for a soft place to land, together.

Jake and Betty were found navigating the big, bad world on their own. They were wearing collars but had no ID and were not microchipped, and despite our best efforts, no owner was located. What they did have was each other—and that bond has been their constant source of comfort.

These two are on the shy side and truly blossom in calm, predictable environments. Recently, they’ve been spending time in our offices where they quietly share the couch, sticking close and finding reassurance in one another’s presence.

Jake (2 years old, 33 lbs) is the more affectionate of the pair. New places can feel overwhelming at first, but once he warms up, his confidence shines—and he’ll happily soak up belly rubs and cuddles.

Betty (5 years old, 24 lbs) is gentle, reserved, and steady. She’s a calming presence for Jake and clearly feels safest when he’s nearby.

Together, Jake and Betty would do best in a quiet, low-traffic home with a patient adopter. Stop by Tuesday between 10am-6pm if you would like to meet them! We will be open for business!

New Year’s Eve reminder: please microchip your pets and keep them safely inside—fireworks may be fun for people, but to pets they can feel like World War III. We’ll chip any pet for $15 (10am-4pm) No appointment necessary. For more information, please visit: www.adoptwcac.org

This dog was found on Del Rio Pike near Magnolia Drive in Franklin, and guess what? THEY remembered where they live about as well as some remember passwords. If you recognize this pup, come claim your dog before they start New Year’s resolutions without you.

Now about those New Year’s fireworks… even the bravest pets can panic and bolt when the sky starts booming. Let’s not start 2026 with everyone frantically searching neighborhoods.
🐾 Bring pets inside and create a calm space
🐾 Make sure they have ID tags
🐾 Microchip them—and make sure your info is updated! If you’ve moved or changed your number, please update your chip registration so it actually helps get them home quickly.

📍 Need a microchip? We’ve got you covered!
We’re happy to microchip any cat or dog for $15
🕙 10am–4pm

By the way, our center is open today, but most of our animals will be in holiday foster homes until 1/2.
📅 Open 12/29 and 12/31
🚪 Closed 1/1/26
Let’s start the New Year strong, Williamson County—keeping our pets safe, loved, and home where they belong

After spending last Christmas and Thanksgiving in our shelter, our sweet Max is finally enjoying a well-deserved holiday break in a loving foster home—and it’s everything we hoped for.
His foster family shared:
“Max has been a joy to have. He loves being outdoors and spends a lot of time in our backyard running freely or just hanging out on our deck. We’ve enjoyed a few trips to the park and neighborhood walks and he does really well on the leash. We’ve been teaching him to fetch his ball with treats and he’s doing great. He’s a sweet cuddler at night before bed and he’s great at singing.”
We couldn’t be happier seeing Max soaking up comfort, love, and adventure during his holiday vacation. All of our pets are enjoying their foster “vacations” through 1/2, and we are incredibly grateful to our foster families for opening their hearts and homes. Not only do they give our animals love and joy, but their feedback also helps us learn more about each pet so we can find them the perfect forever family.

Ruth is soaking up every minute of her holiday vacation and her foster family says she is the sweetest and most loving girl ever! She loves nothing more than pressing her head into you and snuggling right into your lap. Despite her age, she’s still full of fun energy—she enjoys toys, fetch, walks, car rides, and of course… cuddles!
Ruth has also been doing great around the resident cat. She was pretty excited at first, but has settled down so much and continues to be very gentle and curious. Her foster family says she brings them so many smiles every day.
We love seeing our pets enjoying their holidays in foster homes, and Ruth will be relaxing and loving life through 1/2! Stay tuned for more updates on our amazing pets!

Rue is absolutely living her best holiday life in foster, and her foster family can’t say enough great things about this amazing girl! She’s been enjoying walks, runs, epic toy time, and lots of backyard wildlife entertainment. Her favorite place is proudly guarding the bird feeder from the window seat… which used to belong to plants, but honestly—who needs plants when you have Rue?
She’s polite in the kitchen, doesn’t counter surf, doesn’t steal food, and is a total cuddle bug when it’s time to relax. She has adored all the attention from her foster family’s kids, happily soaking up love, snuggles, and a good wrestling match before heading to bed each night completely tuckered out.
Her foster summed it up best: “She’s just the bestest girl and will make someone a wonderful family pet.”
Our animals are enjoying their holiday vacations in foster homes until January 2nd, and sweet Rue is soaking up every moment. Stay tuned for more happy updates like this!
