Apparently, someone in Nolensville decided that property lines are merely suggestions and that a solo sightseeing tour was an excellent idea. Unfortunately, this four-legged explorer failed to leave a forwarding address, pack identification, or notify the appropriate authorities (also known as their humans).

This dog was found near Rocky Fork Road and Nolensville Road in the Nolensville area and is currently at Williamson County Animal Center, where the unauthorized field trip has officially come to an end.

Recognize this wandering knucklehead? Please call us or reclaim between 11 am - 3 pm Saturday at (615) 790-5590 ext. 13400 so we can arrange a reunion before another questionable life decision is made.

Please share to help us find this dog's family!

The temperatures are dropping, and we've got 10 very good reasons to stay home, get cozy, and cancel your evening plans!

It's Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, and while you may know us for the adorable faces waiting for homes (like Glimmer), there's a whole lot happening behind the scenes at Williamson County Animal Center! Our team wears MANY hats, often in the same day!

Before an animal even enters our care, our intake team works to help families keep the pets they love by offering resources like behavior training. They also work diligently to reunite lost pets with their families and facilitate a crisis sheltering program for Williamson County residents seeking help for substance abuse or domestic violence, ensuring their pets have a safe place to stay during difficult times. Because animal welfare isn't just about helping animals. It's about serving BOTH ends of the leash.

Our community cat coordinator helps manage cat colonies through spay/neuter efforts and even plays matchmaker between barn cat adopters and our spicier felines looking for employment! Our four animal control officers serve communities throughout Williamson County 24/7, while our veterinary team provides medical care for shelter pets AND has performed thousands of spay/neuter surgeries for community animals. Our kennel care and facilities teams work tirelessly to keep everyone healthy, comfortable, and the building sparkling clean. (If you've ever walked through our doors and thought, "Wow, it doesn't smell like an animal shelter!" you can thank them!)

Behind every adoption is a team learning about each animal's personality and needs. We help adopters find pets that fit their lifestyles. If you're a family that loves to spend your weekends indoors, our team of adoption counselors, volunteers and fosters have just the pet in mind for you. If you're on the move and want your pet to accompany you, our team will work tirelessly to find the pet that fits that lifestyle as well.

We are so much more than just a shelter. We are a community partner finding solutions for our citizens and standing in the gaps for the pets they love. If you haven't visited Williamson County Animal Center lately, stop by, meet the animals, get to know our team, and discover all the ways you can be part of something pretty special!

Some dogs run like the wind. Others run like a couple of floppy-eared freight trains operating on very short tracks. Meet Betsy and Bubba, two adoptable low-riders bringing you ALL the flapping ears, bouncing wrinkles, and aerodynamic inefficiency your heart can handle!

Betsy, 7½, is a Basset Hound with soulful eyes and a soft spot for affection once she gets to know you. Her son, Bubba, 4½, is a Basset/Beagle mix who’s also a little nervous around new people. Both have spent their lives outdoors, so they’ll need patient families willing to help them discover the wonderful world of indoor living, including housetraining. Neither has experience with children or cats, and Betsy may prefer being the only dog in her new home.

They may not be winning any land-speed records, but these two deserve a chance to race straight into someone’s heart!

Come meet Betsy and Bubba at Williamson County Animal Center today! We are open until 6pm today.

Meet Mama Jasey (7-years old). This affectionate gal may be vision impaired, but she doesn't let that stop her from enjoying life. She uses her nose and ears to navigate the world and has plenty of love, cuddles, and playful moments to share. Mama Jasey is friendly, devoted, and would love nothing more than to find a family who will appreciate her wonderful personality and help her feel safe and secure. Please give time to introduce to new areas, furniture placement, and other animals. She's already spayed, and her adoption fee is just $50. Come meet this lovely lady at Williamson County Animal Center! We are open from 10am-6pm Monday-Friday and 11am-3pm on Saturdays!

As the sun sets on another day, three furry faces are hoping someone out there recognizes them and can help guide them back home before another night passes.

A little white dog was found near the 4000 block of Arapaho Bend in Antioch, while two cats were found together on Wendron Court in Franklin. (Don't worry, our medical and animal care teams will be taking excellent care of them.)

Somewhere, there may be families wondering where their beloved pets have wandered. If you recognize any of these three, please contact Williamson County Animal Center at (615) 790-5590 x13400.

Please share! Sometimes all it takes is one familiar face, one shared post, or one person who knows exactly where they belong to turn a stray at sunset into a homecoming.

Rainy autumn days were made for cozy blankets, sleeping in, and the gentle sound of raindrops against the window. Just ask Cher, our resident expert in the fine art of doing absolutely nothing. This 5-year-old feline has perfected the fall nap, and she's currently accepting applications for someone willing to provide a cozy place to snooze when the weather turns gloomy. Preferably with complimentary head scratches.

When she's not catching up on her beauty sleep, Cher enjoys chasing feather toys, exploring her catio, and socializing with her feline neighbors. She's friendly, affectionate, gets along wonderfully with other cats, and has impeccable litterbox manners. Whether you're a first-time cat owner or looking to add another kitty to your household, Cher might just be your perfect rainy-day companion. Come meet her at Williamson County Animal Center!

Hey, I’m Gorgonzola! I’m a 2-year-old black brindle mixed breed girl, and while I might be a little shy when we first meet, I promise my affectionate and friendly nature will shine through once I get to know you. At 33 pounds, I’m the perfect medium-sized companion — already spayed and ready for my forever home. With a little patience and kindness, I’ll show you just how loyal and loving I can be. Come say hello and let’s start building our friendship!
