Our Story
We are a small town organization ready to make a BIG difference! We are located in the town of Brookville, Indiana. We are not the County Pound (although we work closely with them to support their needs for adoption, donations and veterinary care). Our organization is completely comprised of volunteers. The FCHS has no paid staff and we receive no financial support from the state or local government. Every dollar that you donate to the FCHS goes directly to improving the lives of animals in our community! We are considered a rescue, and not an “intake” shelter. The cats that we do house come from the county pound, as well as cats from the community that are sick or injured. It is part of our mission to find the right forever home for every animal that we encounter in our facility!
We are pleased that our shelter space doubles as a site for monthly spay/neuter transports and for adoption events. Our primary focus is to reduce the number of animals born in Franklin County, reduce the number of animals entering the county pound facility, and eliminate the practice of killing healthy animals for convenience. We strive to educate our community and improve the quality of the lives of animals within Franklin County and beyond.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Franklin County Humane Society is a registered 501.c.3 nonprofit organization. Our members are a committed, thoughtful group of volunteers who provide assistance for unwanted, lost and/or neglected animals by providing humane education, veterinary care, and animal rescue. We strive to reduce the number of euthanized (healthy) pets in Franklin County due to overpopulation and to improve conditions for those animals that find their way to the Franklin County Pound. Through donations collected and awarded grants, we strive to provide various support services for pet owners of Franklin County and actively encourage pet population control through spay and neuter.
