A Thursday morning news release said the collaborative effort is assisting Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Georgetown with temporary housing for more than 50 dogs and cats in need.
The pets, formerly long-term stay pets in Williamson County, will only be in San Antonio temporarily. They will be transported to “pre-identified receiving shelters in northern states this weekend, where they’ll be placed for adoption,” the release said.
ACS said the transfer was made at the request of the Georgetown facility, which will fill the open space with animals taken in from impacted flood zones.
For the animals arriving in San Antonio, the volunteers can expect to help with:
- Assembling transport kennels
- Walking and caring for incoming pets
- Assisting with kennel duties
- Lead support for emergency response
ACS still needs volunteers for the following timeframes:.
- Thursday, July 10 from 12 - 4 p.m.
- Friday, July 11, early morning, time TBD
Prospective volunteers can sign up here.
