Free dog and cat food

Residents of Williamson County can get free dog and cat food at the Paw Pantry, February 19, 2021 from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Williamson County Animal Center (WCAC), 106 Claude Yates Dr. in Franklin, TN. The monthly program for neighbors in need of pet food is sponsored by the Friends of Williamson County Animal Center (FOWCAC).  Red Collar Pet Foods, Inc. of Franklin generously donated 2,000 pounds of cat and dog food to be distributed during the two-hour event.

Touchless, drive-through delivery will be provided in the parking lot of the shelter, and recipients must show proof of Williamson County residency. There is no pre-registration required, and food will be distributed for two hours or as the supply allows.

The Paw Pantry is designed to ensure that no pet owner is forced to give up their dog or cat due to lack of food. Shelter director Ondrea Johnson is eager to provide this service. “We know that there are people in our community that can’t afford pet food right now,” she stated, “and we are pleased to be able to be a local resource for them.”

Williamson County Animal Center is located at 106 Claude Yates Dr., next to Franklin High School.  For more information, call 615-790-5590, ext. 8547, follow the shelter on Facebook or go to  www.adoptwcac.org.
