Franklin Co. Humane Society/Planned Pethood Clinic

We are the voice for the voiceless. They all have a story to tell. Whether animals are in need of a home, medical care or people to trust, we do our best to help them. Good Samaritans bring us sick or injured pets on a weekly basis, if not daily. We do our best to help them in our in-house clinic but sometimes they need more help than even we can give, and the costs of sending them to full-service veterinary clinics or specialists have been mounting. Your donations will help with those costs along with helping to keep our shelter open, feeding the animals, staffing the clinic and shelter. 

Planned Pethood Clinic: We opened our low cost spay/neuter clinic in 2000. Our goal at our Planned Pethood Clinic is to stop the needless destruction of healthy dogs, cats, puppies and kittens by reducing pet overpopulation.

 High volume low cost spay neuter is essential to is to reduce the numbers of animals entering shelters and pounds each year. Our affordable spay/neuter prices are subsidized by donations.

Purrfect Treasures: We opened our Purrfect Treasures fundraising store in 2007. Located next door to our Adoption Center, all proceeds go to care for the animals at the Adoption Center.  You will find beautiful new home décor donated by Uttermost and a great "thriftique" shop.

Adoption Center:  We opened our Adoption Center in 2009. Our Adoption Center is a wonderful and happy place that provides a safe haven for homeless pets until they go to their forever homes. Our high visibility location and large windows that fill the rooms with light demonstrate our idea to market our pets in a pleasant setting and encourage you to “adopt don’t shop” for your next pet companion.

Dogs relax on beds in large Doggie Dens on the lower level. We added outdoor kennels for daytime use and the dogs enjoy supervised play groups in large fenced areas, enjoy a good game of chase with den mates or a dip in the wading pools on a hot day. Staff and volunteers walk the dogs on a wooded trail behind the Humane Society.

Kittens and cats are housed in the Kitten and Cat Rooms on the upper level. The rooms have large storefront windows that bring in light and provide visual stimulation. Cats enjoy climbing ladders to perches on top of the cat condos.

The Adoption Center also has Animal Food Kitchens, a Grooming Room and quarantine rooms to house new arrivals.

The original part of the building houses Planned Pethood Clinic on the lower level and staff kitchen, break room and offices on the upper level. All Adoption Center animals have an examination, vaccinations, tests and parasite treatment upon arrival. They are spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Please stop by to visit with the animals! Even if you aren't ready to adopt a new companion pet, our dogs are always happy to get an extra walk and the puppies, cats and kittens love some extra attention.
