The new Williamson County Animal Center was designed in conjunction with Shelter Planners of America for a balance of maximum efficiency for space, maximum function for staff and the best overall experience for the animals. The center has three lobbies for primary areas: adoption, impound and medical. A shelter administrative and enforcement staff of up to 30 will also be housed in the building. A total of 33,000 SF is comprised of a surgery center/medical wing: 3,000 SF (with 12 dog, 32 cat holding kennels), education/multi-purpose hall: 1,300 SF with 100 seats, Indoor dog training area: 1,200 SF, and an outdoor walking trail with a public dog park component.
