By the Numbers:

Making a Difference:
Some great news came out of their efforts: 5 cats and 8 dogs were reunited with their families, 1 animal was rescued, and 4 lucky pets found new forever homes through adoption.

What’s Left to Do:
While many animals found loving families, 20 cats and 7 dogs are still waiting at the pound for their forever homes. These pets need our community’s help to find a safe and caring place to call home.

How You Can Make a Difference:

  • Consider adopting one of these wonderful animals and giving them a second chance at life.
  • Ensure your pets are microchipped, licensed, and spayed or neutered to reduce overpopulation and make it easier to reunite lost pets with their families.
  • Provide proper food, water, and shelter—especially with winter in full swing.
  • Report animal cruelty or neglect to the authorities to keep our community safe for pets.

Williston Animal Control is here to help, but they can’t do it alone. To learn more about adopting or supporting their work, contact the department today. Together, we can ensure every pet finds the love they deserve!
