Those who are thinking about adding a pet to their family have the opportunity to watch dogs at Williamson County Animal Center (WCAC) play together as part of a national event on Saturday, October 7 from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. WCAC is one of 43 animal shelters across the country participating in the National Playgroup Rockstars Adoption event. The playgroup setting gives dogs the chance to show off their true personalities and give potential adopters more insight into which one best fits into their lifestyle.

National nonprofit organization Petco Love is teaming up with Dogs Playing for Life and BOBS from SkechersTM for the events, in which adoption fees are waived at participating shelters like WCAC for approved applicants who welcome a “Rockstar” dog into their home. Rockstars are super social dogs who demonstrate having the behaviors and temperament needed to excel in a playgroup setting. Regular adoption fees apply to all other animals at WCAC: $50 for each kitten, adult cat, and adult dog; $85 per puppy.

Located at 1006 Grigsby Hayes Court in Franklin, WCAC is open Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and Saturday, 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. The shelter closes to the public on Sundays.
