No animal should be left behind due to lack of funding.
We're on a mission to ensure animal welfare organizations in our community can say yes to every dog and cat who needs help.
HOWL-O-WEEN was Dog-Gone Amazing!
Franklin's Friends 12th annual HOWL-O-WEEN Dog Walk-a-Thon and Canine Costume Contest was on October 25 - and it was absolutely un-fur-gettable!
We had beautiful weather, a record crowd, amazing vendors, lots of great raffle items, and lots of dogs in costumes! WFTV 9's Nick Papantonis and 98.9 WMMO's Supa Dave emceed and we raised a record $46,000 for local animal welfare!
