Surrender a Pet

We understand that there are times when families must make the difficult decision to surrender a pet. Before you do, give us a call to see if we may be able to provide assistance that would allow you to keep your family together. If you adopted your pet from us, we will always be happy to take them back, regardless of where you live. Otherwise, we can only accept pets from residents of Williamson County.

You will need to schedule an appointment, we will not accept a surrender without one. If you have an adult cat with kittens to surrender, please submit a form for the adult and indicate that there are also kittens. If you have more than one adult to surrender, please submit a form for each pet. It is very helpful if you provide as much information as possible, including veterinarian records.

WCAC's Crisis Sheltering Foster Program provides temporary housing for pets of Williamson County residents who are seeking or receiving assistance related to domestic violence, mental health, or substance abuse.

Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pet helps find temporary foster homes for pets of deploying active duty service members and veterans in specific situations. They also assist homeless veterans with veterinary care and pet boarding expenses.

If we're not able to provide the assistance you need, try this "Shelter & Rescue Finder"

Please call and speak with intake staff if you have a deceased pet or an animal other than a cat or dog that you wish to surrender.

Owner Requested Euthanasia

Unfortunately, there are times that the best thing we can do for our pet is to let them go peacefully and WCAC can help you find comfort through this difficult time.  Euthanasia is available by appointment for $50 and you have the option for cremation.  However, we are not able to invite you to be by your pet's side during the procedure.
