The partnership was made possible thanks to a grant from the Petco Foundation.
The pilot program between WCRAS and Jail To Jobs is set to run for twelve weeks. If the program is successful, the shelter hopes to continue its partnership with Jail To Jobs. The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter strives to do all we can to place dogs and cats on a path to a new life. It only makes sense to partner with a program that extends that mission to humans with the same ultimate need, said WCRAS Shelter Director Misty Valenta. A special thank you to the Petco Foundation for providing the funds to begin this partnership. This partnership will transform countless lives.
