Cuteness overload!! Meet Winnie! 🐾💕

Winnie is an extremely loving and active girl who is on her journey to find a family of her own. She is potty trained, walks well on a leash, and is full of love!

Winnie is very gentle with treats and absolutely adores the resident dog in her foster home. She has such a sweet heart, so much love to give, and will make a wonderful companion for one lucky family. 🥹

Best $18 you’ll ever spend! 🤑🧡

Our adoption fees are intentionally low because we never want cost alone to stand in the way of someone giving a pet a loving home. We know that amazing pet owners come from all walks of life, and having a smaller budget does not mean someone can’t provide endless love and excellent care for an animal.

At the same time, responsible pet ownership does include ongoing expenses like food, toys, grooming, and veterinary care. We encourage all adopters to make sure they’re prepared for the long-term commitment that comes with bringing home a new family member.

For just $18, you’re not only gaining a best friend, you’re changing lives ❤️🐾

ADOPTED! Congratulations to Puddle! 💙🐾

When tiny Puddle arrived at the shelter at just nine weeks old, she was dealing with a fractured front leg.

Our medical team jumped into action right away, fitting her with a cast and sending her to a loving foster home where she could rest, recover, and just be a puppy.

Now, nearly two months later, Puddle is healing beautifully and has officially charmed her way into the hearts and home of her new family! We couldn’t be happier for this sweet girl and her happily ever after. 🥹

We are so incredibly grateful for this amazing community! 🧡🐾

Over the past few weeks, students from Greensview Elementary partnered with Toft’s Grandview to sell ice cream quarts and raise money for our shelter dogs.

Thanks to their hard work and the support of our community, they sold more than 400 quarts and raised over $3,000 to help provide food, supplies, and care for the pups at our shelter!

A huge thank you to the students at Greensview Elementary and to Toft’s for supporting our dogs in such a sweet way 🍦💙

“Say ‘Cheese’ and meet Beckett! 🧀😝

4 year old Beckett spent a few weeks in a temporary foster home and absolutely thrived in a home environment. Could you see him in yours?

He’s housebroken, crate trained, and every person he’s met has quickly become his friend, including kids.

Beckett is a sweet boy who loves cuddling just as much as he loves getting out for long walks and zooming around. He’s also had positive experiences with calm dogs at the shelter.

If you’d like to learn more about Beckett, come meet him today at the Franklin County Dog Shelter!”

⚠️ Donations Needed for Our Community Pet Pantry! ⚠️

Our Community Pet Pantry exists for one reason: to help families in our community keep their pets fed during difficult times. Every bag of food on our shelves comes directly from donations by people like you.

Right now, our pantry is running low, and we need your help to restock it so no pet in our community has to go without a meal.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. 🐾

You can shop our Amazon Wishlist below and have items shipped directly to the shelter:

As always, thank you for showing up for pets and the people who love them. ❤️
