The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter saw a new record in January 2023 for the number of lost animals who were returned to their homes.
“The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter (WCRAS) is celebrating an extraordinarily successful start to the year – 95 animals were returned home during January 2023,” according to Williamson County, TX. “That is the most lost dogs and cats ever returned to their loving homes in a single month.”
There are several ways lost animals can make it back home to their families including owners using collars, tags and microchipping, and ensuring all contact information is up to date, as well as checking area shelters frequently if a pet is lost.
Additionally, if someone does find a lost animal, the shelter recommends checking the area immediately where the animal was found for their families, as most pets are found within a few blocks of their homes.

“As the only shelter solely devoted to the lost dogs and cats in our jurisdictions, we believe that the very best outcome for each lost pet is for them to return to their home, back with their families who love and care for them. Plus, the more we reunite lost animals, the more we can help the dogs and cats who truly need new homes. We love seeing lost pets reunited with their loving families and are so happy for the 95 families who were made whole again in January,” said Misty Valenta, animal services director.
