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.

The most devastating decision an animal welfare organization has to face is turning away an animal in need — especially when it’s due to lack of funding. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing life-saving grants for animal welfare organizations and government agencies in Central Florida. With our financial support, these frontline heroes can continue to find loving homes for them, control the population through spay and neuter efforts, and educate the community on responsible pet ownership.

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!
These one-of-a-kind calendars feature 13 real-life pets. Each month was up for grabs at our Unleashed. Uncorked. Unframed. auction — and these are the superstars who won a coveted spot!
Special thanks to Rick Zimmer from Absolute Photography for donating his time and talent to photograph the pets!
$20 suggested donation, plus shipping.
