FCHS is a 25-year-old, privately held 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation registered in the State of Missouri. We operate a companion animal shelter in Union, MO, caring for approximately 4,000 animals annually. The mission of the Franklin County Humane Society is to promote humane treatment of all animals and to reduce both pet overpopulation and the resulting euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets through progressive adoption, education, sheltering and spay/neuter programs.
