Humane Society of Williamson County

The Humane Society of Williamson County (HSWC) is an "open-door" shelter serving the unincorporated areas of Williamson County. We are committed to accepting every stray, unwanted, injured or abused animal, in addition to young, healthy puppies and kittens. This means that animals that arrive at our shelter get a second chance at finding a new home if their owners do not reclaim them. THE HSWC MISSION
The Humane Society of Williamson County (HSWC) is an "open-door" shelter serving the unincorporated areas of Williamson County. We are committed to accepting every stray, unwanted, injured or abused animal, in addition to young, healthy puppies and kittens. This means that animals that arrive at our shelter get a second chance at finding a new home if their owners do not reclaim them.

The HSWC mission:

* Prevention of cruelty to animals
* Extension of humane education
* Reduction of over-population of dogs and cats
* Reunion of lost animals with their owners
* Placement of ownerless animals in good homes
* Promotion of animal welfare through education, legislation, and sterilization

The HSWC, like many open-door shelters, makes room for all animals in need, without condition and irrespective of age, health or temperament. HSWC never critiques incoming animals on their ability to be adopted; we make room for all animals in need. Among the animals that HSWC has placed with loving caring families are elderly animals, animals missing limbs, and blind animals.

Like all shelters, we have limited funds and space for the animals that come to our door. Both "no-kill" and open-door shelters must euthanize for health or temperament problems. Because we accept all animals who come to us, we must sometimes euthanize for space reasons.

Unlike most open-door shelters, the HSWC is a non-profit, 501 (c) 3, charity dependent upon the generosity of donors and contributors for its existence. Over 50% of our funding comes from donations. HSWC is willing and able to care for every animal brought to its door, but only with your help.
