Best Practices at Williamson County Animal Center  

     “We are so excited to introduce this facility to the public and showcase the many new ways to partner with us,” says Director, Ondrea Johnson.  “We are looking forward to showing the facility that is a happy place to work, volunteer, and visit as well as sharing the resources for pet owners.”
“I could not be more proud of this new facility that encompasses ideas from staff, volunteers, members of a special task force and community partners,” says Rogers Anderson, Williamson County mayor. “There are paw prints throughout that reflect the dreams, best practices and expertise of responsible pet advocates throughout our county.  It is important to note that this awe-inspiring facility would not have come to fruition without numerous private partnerships and contributions.”
