The Franklin Animal Shelter provides a place where Good Samaritan rescuers, Franklin police, and those no longer able to care for pets can turn for help. The shelter provides food, warm beds, needed medical attention, and loving care to the cats and dogs in its custody. The Shelter’s goal is to find loving, forever homes for all its cats and dogs.

The Franklin Animal Shelter is a tax-exempt organization. Tax deductible contributions may be made through FranklinAnimalShelter.com or mailed to PO Box 265, Franklin 03235.
