Johnson County Animal Shelter in Franklin, IN is a county-run facility that serves as the only all admittance shelter in Johnson County. Their mission is to place each and every animal that comes through their doors, including those picked up by Animal Control, resulting in a high intake volume each year. They have an adoption policy that ensures all animals receive vaccinations, microchips, and are spayed/neutered before leaving the facility, with adoption fees varying for dogs and cats. Interested applicants must meet certain guidelines, such as completing a two-page application, being over 18 years of age with valid identification, and owning their own home or having permission from their landlord. The shelter allows potential adopters to spend time with the animals before making a decision, and they do not place holds on animals. Johnson County Animal Shelter also occasionally has declawed cats available for adoption, but they cannot be declawed for the life of the cat. The shelter operates during specific hours throughout the week, and they accept cash, check, and credit cards as payment.Generated from the website
