Updates:
- Our Grand Opening on November 5th was a great success–a big “Thank You!” to everyone involved!
- Over 212 animals have been adopted or fostered since the shelter was unofficially opened in the beginning of March – an average of 30 per month!
- All the adopted animals have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
- We’ve installed new PAWS signs on the building, new fencing, and new lighting in the animal play area.
- At the moment the shelter is completely full–so if you are interested in either adopting or fostering a furry friend, let us know ASAP!
Thanks again to our many fine volunteers! You have really contributed to our community.
Mac Glaess, Board President, PAWS of Franklin County, 11/6/2025
