Horatio is a handsome gentleman looking for a patient family to call his own. He's house-trained, neutered, and knows exactly how to let you know when it's time to go outside. Once you've earned his trust, you'll discover a lovable cuddle bug who gives the sweetest kisses and even enjoys dressing up in cozy sweaters.

This smart boy is a quick learner who loves walks, puzzle toys, bird-watching, and stopping for pets along the way. His favorite treats? Cheese and peanut butter! When he's ready to relax, you'll often find him happily tucked away in his cozy kennel for a little quiet time.

Horatio would do best as the only dog in a home with a fenced yard where he can run, play, and watch the birds. He can be timid with new people, especially men, and may react to unfamiliar sights and sounds on walks, but he responds well to gentle guidance and is eager to learn. He'll thrive with an adopter who is patient, understanding, and committed to helping him build confidence.

If you're looking for a loyal companion with a big heart, Horatio is ready to reward your patience with endless love, kisses, and devotion. Come meet this special boy today!

The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter is open every day from noon to 6pm (excluding limited holidays/events). You can meet our adoptable animals with the convenience of an appointment or as a walk-in. Appointments can be made by emailing adoption@wilcotx.gov.

In addition to our main shelter at 1855 SE Inner Loop, Georgetown, TX 78626, you can also meet adoptable dogs at our satellite location, the Red Poppy Adoptique, located at 110 W L Walden Dr, Georgetown, TX 78626.

Looking for a fun way to make a difference? Try our Doggy Day Out program! Take one of our pups on an adventure for a few hours-giving them a much-needed break from the shelter while you enjoy some quality time. The program runs at both locations daily starting at noon.

We always welcome your dogs to come and meet our dogs, too! We'll see you soon at either location!
