Franklin Animal Shelter remains open, continues fundraising

FRANKLIN — To protect employees, volunteers, and community members, the shelter will remain open by appointment only until further notice. The shelter will reevaluate its status regularly. The staff will continue to be on premises to ensure proper care of all four-legged guests. Donations are still accepted. 

Woof II: The Tail Continues

Through Monday, Aug. 31, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen Meredith Fine Craft Gallery will host an exhibit titled “Woof II: The Tail Continues,” dedicated to man’s best friend. Ten percent of proceeds for every dog item sold will be donated to Franklin Animal Shelter. League juried artists have created works specifically to honor furry friends. Karen Mitchell has dog-themed, silver jewelry; Dawn Blanchard has dog prints to hang on the wall; and Cheryl Miller offers fabric collages depicting dogs. Commission Michael Updike to hand-carve a portrait of a furry friend in recycled slate tile, or have Becky Sawyer capture a dog’s likeness with colored pencils on polystyrene.
