No animal should be left behind due to lack of funding.
We're on a mission to ensure animal welfare organizations in our community can say yes to every dog and cat who needs help.
Our 2025 Calendars are now available!

HOWL-O-WEEN was Paw-some!
Franklin's Friends 11th annual HOWL-O-WEEN Dog Walk-a-Thon and Canine Costume Contest was on October 26 - and it was pup-tastic and spook-tacular!
Even though the stage and bleachers were flooded by Hurricane Milton, we had a great crowd, beautiful weather, amazing vendors, sought after raffle items, and lots of dogs in costumes! WMMO's Denise Ryan and her pup Rusty returned to emcee and we raised over $42,500 for local animal welfare!
Join us at our Unleashed. Uncorked. Unframed. Gala
Our gala is a magical evening filled with gourmet cuisine, exemplary wines, spectacular live and silent auctions, and a private art sale. We anticipate more than 250 animal lovers will don their finest cocktail attire, and come together to support our cause and local animal welfare on May 10, 2025.
