Community Care Days
Looking for a simple way to give back to shelter dogs? Join us for our new drop-in Community Care Days at the Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center.
These relaxed, family friendly sessions are a great way to spend time helping dogs in our care while connecting with others in the community. No experience needed. Just show up ready to lend a hand.
10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center
During your visit, you will help create enrichment treats, read to shelter dogs, and spend time with one of our shelter dogs. Because this is an open session, you may be sharing the space with other families and community groups. It is a fun, welcoming way to get involved in your community and help make a huge difference in the life of a shelter dog!

• Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 18+ years of age
• A volunteer waiver will be signed at check in
