PETS OF THE MONTH FOUND LOVING HOMES
Each month, the Georgetown View spotlights pets from the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter that are in need of loving homes. This year, nine of these longtime lovables have found their new families — from senior dogs to resilient furry friends with missing limbs and a special needs canine.
DAISY DUKE
For Suzanne Young, fostering and later adopting Daisy Duke has been a bittersweet journey. “Daisy Duke has a congenital heart defect . . . one moment of overexcitement could end her life. We focus on keeping her safe and enjoying every day with her. Daisy is funny, playful, loyal, and endlessly affectionate, and she’s taught us to embrace her unique spirit and love her for as long as we can. She truly is the dog we didn’t know we needed in our lives. We knew we couldn’t live without her, so we made it official and adopted her.”
ARCHIE
“Archie has been a great addition to the family,” says Archie’s adopter, who wishes to remain anonymous. “He loves to accompany [me] in my home office. He is also very good with our three boys. They love to play with him and often you can find a kid laying in the dog bed with Archie or the carpet giving him love. We are happy to have Archie around.”
SAMUEL
A young, fluffy-as-a-cloud pup described as a sweetheart by shelter volunteers, Samuel has been enjoying lots of cuddle sessions and strolls with his new family.
PERSEPHONE
A chatty, swashbucklin’ one-eyed feline wonder, Persephone has been regaling her new adopters with tales of her many epic kitty adventures while enjoying many cuddles and attention.
PAWL
A stunning feline with charming tabby-tastic stripes, Pawl has been happy to be a purr-fect companion for his new family and brighten each of their days.
MAGGIE
Despite the loss of her front right limb, Maggie has been a loyal, smart, affectionate, and lively tri-pawed wonder at the shelter and even more so now that she has found her new loving home.
CHASE
A sweet, 11-year-old senior pup, Chase has been enjoying playing tug and going on leisurely walks with his new adopters.
TINKERBELL
Tinkerbell has been embracing her boundless energy and playful antics and keeping life exciting for her new adopter.
COOPER
Cooper has been showing off his smarts, and enjoying many cuddles, at his new home.
“The staff at Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter are grateful to everyone who helps to spread the message about the wonderful dogs and cats who are available for adoption at the shelter,” says April Peiffer, shelter’s community programs coordinator. “Each of these amazing pets have the promise of warm cuddles on a cold winter day, fun-filled adventures when spring comes around, and plenty of love and devotion for all the days in between, and having local media like the Georgetown View share their stories is a boon to their ability to find those loving new homes. We hope you’ll stop in to meet your new best friend!”
