Pets of the Week
Adoptable pets looking for a fresh start
Here are our Pets of the Week, a small spotlight on animals who are still waiting for the families they deserve. Each of these pets is currently available for adoption through the Franklin County Humane Society, and each one has a story, a personality, and so much love left to give. Some have been waiting longer than others, but all are ready for a fresh start. If one of these faces speaks to you, you can learn more about the adoption process and how to apply on our adoption page.
Sissy
Talk about a perfect family dog! Sissy is a 9 month old black labrador mix that loves everyone, walks great on a leash, and is up for any adventure. She’s a gorgeous dog who sports a shiny black coat with glossy white highlights. Sissy has no interest in bothering cats either.
Missy
Missy is a sweet, lovely, whip-smart dog who would make a fantastic family pet. She’s 9 months old and a highly trainable labrador mix who just wants to please her people. Missy is great with other dogs and not interested in cats. She does well on a leash and just needs a family of her own to play with.
Loretta
Talk about a sweetheart. Loretta is a 6 month old labrador mix with a stunning black/brindle coat. She’s great on the leash and small enough to easily go anywhere with you. She’s always smiling and sweet. She also gets along great with other dogs and doesn’t even notice cats.
Gerald
Gerald is a gorgeous 6 month old Labrador Retriever cross with a rich, chocolate coat. He’s sweet, great on the leash, and loves other dogs. He’d make an excellent companion for any family and always has a smile on his face. Plus, he’s medium-sized and super easy to travel with.
Sam
Scrappy and Sam are 5-6 yr old best friends who have grown up together. Scrappy is a Dachshund mix and Sam is a JRT mix and both are friendly, happy guys. It’s not mandatory they be adopted together but if someone would, we’ll waive the adoption fee for one of them. These boys are house trained, crate trained and walk well on leash. They like other dogs, kids and even cats. These middle aged pups would be great for someone who doesn’t want to go through the puppy stage and would enjoy having well mannered companions.

Breeze
Breeze is a 1 yr old Lab/Shepherd mix and he’s such a good boy. He is friendly, does well with other dogs and children. He met our office kitty without incident. He’s good on the leash, but still need some basic training. Breeze has also done at least one “beach day” with a volunteer where he was amazing and well mannered. He’s a super smart dog who just wants his own human (s).
Shelby
Shelby is a one year old Lab mix and is full of life! This beauty loves her walks and the people who walk her. Shelby would do best in a home with active people and an opportunity to run and play. She is a climber so a securely fenced yard is a must. Shelby would be a great candidate for any dog sport, including obedience or even dock diving. She sits on command, too.
