The dog house is full at the Franklin County Dog Shelter, and you can help.

The shelter reported they have 300 dogs under their care, and that’s just a few too many. So, they are taking a bite out of adoption fees until Tuesday, April 30, making all dogs that are six months or older $18. They will be open every day this month + will offer extended hours on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Not able to adopt at the moment? Perhaps you can host a sleepover, where you’ll bring home a four-legged friend for an extended period of time. The shelter will provide all the food and supplies you need to make the dog comfortable, and you can always adopt afterwards if (or when) you fall in love.

Additionally, the shelter is in need of large and extra large crates to help rehome bigger dogs. Treats are always accepted, too.
