Williamson County Animal Center Puts Twist on Black Friday Sales

FRANKLIN, TN — Looking for something dark and furry for the holidays? Williamson County Animal Center should be a stop on the big shopping weekend.

On Friday, Nov. 25 and Saturday, Nov. 26, the shelter will have a Black Friday and Saturday adoption event, with no-fee adoptions for black animals (or even an animal with any black markings) and all cats. Otherwise adoptions will be $20.

November is also Senior Pet month, and there is no fee for any adopter over 55 years of age or for senior dogs, those six years and older.

Black cats and dogs are often among the last animals adopted out of a shelter.

“Black cats and dogs deserve the same wonderful life that other animals do,” shelter director Laura Chavarria said. “But, they are often the last ones adopted. This after-Thanksgiving event has become a shelter tradition, and we always get a great response from the community.”

All pets adopted from the Williamson County Animal Center are spayed or neutered and have all required immunizations.

The shelter at 106 Claude Yates Dr. in Franklin will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 25 and Saturday, Nov. 26. The shelter will be closed on Nov. 24, Thanksgiving Day.
