Meet Shepard
Shepard is looking for a fresh start and a loving place to call home. At 7 years old and 69 pounds, he's the perfect mix of maturity and fun. This handsome boy has a thoughtful, serious side-but don't let that fool you, he also has a playful streak that shines through once he's comfortable. Shepard is house trained and ready to settle into a home where he can truly relax and be part of the family. He's an all-around sweetie who will make a loyal and steady companion for someone looking for a best friend with both heart and personality. If you're looking for a devoted companion with just the right balance of calm and playfulness, Shepard might be your guy.~~~~~The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter is open every day from noon to 6pm (excluding limited holidays/events).

Adopting Shepard — FAQ
How do I adopt Shepard?
Use the adoption link or contact details on this page to apply directly with Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Georgetown, Texas. Lily's Second Chance lists Shepard to help them get seen — the adoption is handled by that organization.
Is Shepard still available for adoption?
Shepard's listing is refreshed regularly, but availability can change quickly as dogs are adopted. Always confirm Shepard is still available directly with Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter before making plans.
Is Shepard a senior dog?
Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Shepard, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.
Can I foster Shepard instead of adopting?
Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Shepard's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.
What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting Shepard?
Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.
Is Shepard good with children or other pets?
Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter can tell you about Shepard's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
