The Franklin County Humane Society is a No-Kill Adoption Center located in Rocky Mount, Virginia.

The center opened in 2009 and has since helped to completely change the opportunities available to pets abandoned at the county’s animal shelter. The FCHS Adoption Center works tirelessly to find placement for every dog or cat taken into its care. 

The Adoption Center is a REALLY happy place for its residents while they wait for their forever homes. 

Dogs relax in large Doggie Dens on the lower level. They go outside to exercise several times a day in large fenced areas and enjoy a good game of Jolly Ball with friends. Puppies are housed on the upper level in a Puppy Room with Puppy Pens and an open area for play. There is a Puppy Play Yard for outdoor romps.

Kittens and cats are housed in the Kitten Room and the Cat Room on the upper level. Both rooms have large storefront windows that bring in light and provide visual stimulation. Cats enjoy climbing ladders to perches on top of the Cat Condos.

The Adoption Center also has Animal Food Kitchens, a Grooming Room and quarantine rooms to house new arrivals.

The original part of the building houses Planned Pethood Clinic on the lower level. All Adoption Center pets receive an examination, vaccinations, tests and parasite treatment upon arrival. They are spayed/neutered and microchipped before adoption.

The Franklin County Humane Society is a shining example of what can be done to eliminate the needless euthanasia of abandoned pets to county and city shelters. This is a non-profit group so deserving of the fund-raising efforts behind this Pet Photo Contest.

Please enter your favorite sweetie - cat or dog - and help this wonderful shelter continue its life-saving work!
