Franklin County Humane Society
Our Mission
The Franklin County Humane Society promotes animal and human welfare by providing compassionate care for homeless animals and facilitating programs that enrich lives through meaningful animal interaction.
Our History and Community
Since our incorporation in 1981, we have been dedicated to serving the homeless, abandoned, and lost pets in our area. Originally operating as a foster network, we opened our dedicated shelter location in Union, Missouri in 1994 to expand our reach to the thousands of animals who need us every year.
How We Care
We operate as an open-admission shelter, serving as a vital resource for Franklin County and surrounding areas. Our approach combines compassionate shelter care, medical treatment, and life-saving strategies like animal fostering, transportation, and community educational programs to ensure every animal has the best opportunity for a fresh start.
Your Adoption Journey
Adopting a companion is a special, life-changing commitment, and our team is here to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle. We believe in building lasting partnerships, which is why we work closely with you and your family to ensure that you are fully prepared for the joy and responsibility of welcoming a new pet home.
Get Involved
Whether you are ready to open your heart to a new companion or want to support our mission through volunteering or donations, we invite you to be part of our community.
