I have tried to reach this place through email for over an year. Not one response. Who runs that department . I have hard alot of stories over the years about stray cats being saved from reproducing. So I thought i mite get alittle help . I have 9 cats that come here to my home and others around help care for them. I can not afford vet bills for this many and they need a professional to catch them. If some one would just help maybe there would not be so many adoptions for the pets ... Im willing to feed the ones i have but more added to the family is just to much for us to handle
...I am not at all happy with the results i have gotten from the Franklin county humane society Of Missouri ... you Could at least respond
This is Yoshie, a "snowshoe Siamese" that I adopted on August 9 from your facility. He is now about 6 months old. I changed his name to match that of hockey star, T. J. Oshie (say it fast) and call him "T.J." He is very smart and has learned to "fetch" and sit up. I wanted to send you his photo to show you how his seal point coloring is developing on his back. He is still a bit rambunctious for me, but can be very sweet when he wants to be. Sleeps with me on my bed unless I toss too much. He's had his booster shots. His mom - Linda SansSouci
I would strongly recommend not donating to this organization. The woman that runs this Humane Society is unprofessional and insensitive to people, I fear how she treats pets. She made my children cry the last time we were there because of her mean spirited attitude. I would not waste my money.
Review from Guidestar
I have recently started volunteering at this wonderful shelter and have been amazed by the other volunteers and staff who work so hard to keep the doors open and take care of so many animals especially in this awful economy. The shelter only operates on donations and struggles to maintain its operations from week to week. I have adopted many animals from this shelter long before I started volunteering there and they are the best pets I have ever had. the citizens of our area take this shelter for granted and I wonder what will happen to all the homeless animals in our rural county if they are forced to close.
I've been a volunteer at Franklin County Humane Society for 4 years and I watch how hard our animal shelter struggles. We are supported only by donations from the public; and that's all we have. I see the love in each employees eyes when they take in and care for the homeless animals. I volunteer on the Wine Whiskers and Wags benefit and each year it amazes me how an idea can come together and present one of the best events of the year. It is hard to watch an animal be put down because they are not adopted; but a wounderful experience when you find a home for homeless animal. Our shelter needs a lot of things but it is one of the best shelters I have seen.
The very best pet I ever had came from these motivated, caring people. She was a tiny surrendered dog, and the staff knew she would not do well in a kennel with big dogs, so THEY called ME because they knew I would provide a perfect, quiet home for a dog like her. FCHS is not just a shelter. It is a matchmaker! Who could ask for more?
Their main focus is to the animals and their welfare. I have seen animals that have come in under less desirable circumstances. They are immediately seen by medical staff and their needs cared for. The best and most wonderful part is when these animals are ready for adoption. Even better is when they go to their forever home. The smile on the animals faces (and trust me there is one) when they go home is the best feeling anyone can have. To see them come in looking awful and in a few short weeks turn around and be adopted to a family. Priceless.
