Discuss, consider and take apropriate action on an agreement with Best Friends Animal Society and the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter.

Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter has been selected to participate in the exclusive Return to Home Challenge, with investment opportunities. The Return to Home Challenge is specifically focused on tracking lost/stray dogs in response to the new finding that, nationally, there has been a 26% regression in dog Return to Home since 2019. 

The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter is guaranteed a $1,000 grant, if we complete the following:
Beginning September 1, try two operational changes for 30-days
Distribute pet tags provided by Best Friends in partnership with PetHub 
Share community education resources across our social media channels and website
Report how it went and share our data, starting October 1

If we see an increase, even just one more dog reunited with their family for the month of September 2024 compared to September 2023, we will get $1,000 and be in the running for one of five $10,000 grants!
