An average of 2,500 animals are adopted to good homes and currently almost 2,000 low cost spay/neuter are provided for local residents. Most importantly HSWC provides a safe haven for pets that are lost by residents of Williamson County and Round Rock.
HSWC is andoor shelter and accepts both stray and owner-released animals. Every animal is given an opportunity to be reclaimed or adopted. Over 75% of the Ѕ million-dollar budget comes from donations. Without this support the Humane Society would not exist.
