🍂 Meet Autumn – Waiting for Her Forever Family Since September 2024! 🍂 This sweet girl has been with us since last fall, patiently waiting for the right family to call her own. Autumn has a gentle soul and so much love to give! 💕 Here’s a little about her: ✨ Great with kids! She’s been around children from babies on up and does wonderfully. ✨ Dog-friendly! She gets along with most dogs but hasn’t been introduced to cats yet. ✨ A bit shy at first. While she may be cautious around men, she warms up quickly to women and forms strong, loving bonds once she feels safe. When Autumn first arrived, she was a little scared and stressed. But with patience and care, her true personality has blossomed. She loves going on walks or runs, enjoys car rides, and adores affection. 🐾 While she’s still figuring out how fun toys can be, she’ll happily trade playtime for cuddles and love. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will reward your patience and kindness with endless devotion, Autumn is ready to be your new best friend. 🏡 📍 Autumn is waiting for you at Franklin Animal Shelter. 📞 603.934.4132 Let’s find this sweet girl the home she deserves! #AdoptAutumn #ForeverHome #AdoptDontShop #LoyalCompanion

🐾❤️ November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month! ❤️🐾 Meet Sophia, a sweet and gentle 7-year-old kitty who is looking for her forever home! This beautiful girl is spayed and up to date on all her vaccines. Unfortunately, Sophia was surrendered due to her diabetes, but don’t let that worry you—she’s a loving and affectionate companion who just needs a little extra care. Sophia may be a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, she’s calm, cuddly, and loves spending quiet time with her favorite humans. She visits the groomer every three months to keep her looking fabulous and prefers a calm environment, as loud noises can make her a little nervous. Having been an indoor cat her entire life, Sophia is litter-trained and ready to bring joy to your home. Managing her diabetes is simple—she handles her insulin shots like a champ! In return, you’ll be rewarded with endless snuggles and purrs that will melt your heart. Help us give Sophia the loving home she deserves during her golden years!

🐾 Thunder’s Success Story! 🐾 We love getting updates from our adopters, and we couldn't wait to share this one! 🥰 Thunder, one of Panda’s kittens, has truly found his perfect home. His new family shared that he has helped their “spicy” girl Luna become an absolute lovebug, and now these two are inseparable! 💕 Even though the dog might be a little annoyed that Thunder and Luna have claimed the crate for themselves, we’re sure there’s still plenty of love to go around. 🐶💛 Here’s to Thunder for helping spread all the love and for finding his forever home! 🏡💖 #adopted #fureverhome #happyendings #Thunder

Meet Belle, a strong-willed and independent feline who's ready to find her forever home! Belle has had quite the journey, starting with two homes in her first week with us, and now she's been in our care since June, growing healthier and more confident each day. Belle is now fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped—completely ready to settle into her new life. She’s a cat who knows exactly what she likes: attention on her terms, a good scratching post to keep her claws sharp, and plenty of cozy spots to retreat to when she needs her alone time. Belle would do best as the only pet in the household; she prefers to be the queen of her domain without any dogs or other cats around. Belle is looking for a home that can provide her with the love, patience, and understanding she deserves. If you think you could be the perfect match for Belle, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s find this lovely lady the forever family she’s been waiting for!5
