Fostering or adopting a pet during the Christmas season is a heartwarming and compassionate way to celebrate the spirit of giving. By opening your heart and home to a furry friend in need, you not only provide them with a second chance at a happy life but also contribute to the creation of lasting holiday memories. As you welcome a new companion into your life, you embark on a journey of companionship and unconditional love, creating a bond that transcends the holiday season and lasts a lifetime.

Williamson County Animal Center (WCAC) will help you find your best Christmas gift. They are currently accepting applications for holiday fosters at adoptwcac.org/259/Become-a-Pet-Foster. The WCAC foster coordinator will reach out to those interested in opening their homes and once approved they would pair you with your holiday foster as well as supply everything needed to care for the pet. Christmas fostering pick-ups will begin December 21^st and drop offs will be January 2^nd. If you are interested in adopting a pet this Christmas, WCAC residents who adopt a pet between December 20^th - 23^rd are eligible for free Christmas morning deliveries by the WCAC volunteer elves. What a special way to celebrate the holidays! Here are some of the precious pets available at WCAC. Give them the best gift this holiday season by opening up your home and showering them with the love they deserve.

Bella is a seven-year-old pup that is as unique as a snowflake and wants to be the only animal in the home. Bella will amaze you with how polite and well-behaved she is. She knows sit, stay, down and come/here. She has a great love of humans and she has been gentle and kind with children at the shelter.

 

Big Red is a seven-year-old friendly large hound with a hound nose that is always on duty. He could locate a Christmas ham in a snowstorm in no time flat. An ideal home for Big Red would be one with no children and as the only dog in the home – because he just wants all of your attention!

 

Sitka is four years old and a leash walking pro. He knows basic commands, loves chasing balls, tug-of-war expert, and an enthusiastic playmate with other rowdy dogs. Just like a reindeer - who doesn’t quite remember their strength when landing on rooftops - Sitka might not be aware of his own power! For this reason, he’d prefer a home without small children.

 

Winston

Winston is a jolly seven-month-old FeLV-positive feline with snowy white feet and twinkling gold eyes. He embodies Christmas magic year-round and will dance like a sugar plum fairy for cat toys! Winston needs to live in an indoor setting, where he can be the solo star of the household or cohabitate with fellow FeLV companions.
