Zachary is one good
looking guy. This 1-
year-old is high energy
and lacks a lot of
manners. He can get
mouthy when really
excited, but can be
redirected with toys
and treats. He would
do best in a home
with no small kids because of these behaviors.
Zach also has a very high-pitched bark
so you better be friendly with your neighbors.
If you’re ready to support this guy, schedule
an appointment at the Franklin County Dog
Shelter and meet Zachary today.

Raisin is a shy, 5-
year-old pit bull mix.
He is still adjusting to
the shelter, so his
behavior is a little
quiet and reserved.
Once he is in a new
home, Raisin may
relax immediately
and become much
more social, or he
may need a little
more time and patience to come out of his
shell. He is up for adoption at the Franklin
County Dog Shelter.

adoption through

Dogs.

Margaret is a sweet
girl who is about 2
years old. She loves
