This document provides an overview of the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter. It discusses the shelter's opening in 2007 and its open admission policy. Intake numbers have been steadily increasing for both dogs and cats. The shelter has had to expand facilities and increase fostering programs to accommodate more animals. Through adoption promotions, increased volunteer support, and innovative programs like Kids-N-K9, the shelter has significantly reduced euthanasia rates while operating on a limited budget. The director emphasizes that maintaining a no-kill status requires diligent policies and daily effort.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

9. Owner Surrenders
Need to Surrender Your Pet?
Animal Shelters should be the last places of resort for dogs and cats – even the
best of shelters can’t compare to a loving home.
Although our vision is to save every healthy and behaviorally sound companion
animal, this is a challenge since all animals are accepted from our jurisdiction
regardless of health, age, species, breed or behavior. There are many
community animals that may need shelter more than one that has a home
already.
We ask that you exhaust all options before deciding to bring a pet to the
shelter.
Do what you can to re-home your pet. Check with family, friends, co-workers
and rescue organizations.
