Meet Our Board 

The Franklin County Animal Shelter’s Board of Directors is responsible for providing leadership and strategic direction. The Board is comprised of local individuals committed to the cause of sheltering homeless animals until they can be placed into loving homes. Board positions are unpaid and on a volunteer-basis, and several members have full-time jobs outside of their Board duties, so each member truly serves the shelter as a labor of love. We greatly appreciate their efforts on behalf of the shelter and all of our furry friends!
