Krista Hebert promoted to shelter manager at Franklin Animal Hospital

FRANKLIN — The Board of Directors of the Franklin Animal Shelter has hired a new shelter manager to oversee operations starting in January. After reviewing various candidates, the Board has unanimously promoted Ms. Krista Hebert to the position of Shelter Manager. Previously, Ms. Hebert was serving as interim shelter manager while the search was being conducted.

Krista has always had a love for all kinds of animals. In 2017, she began her journey working in animal care as a volunteer. Months later she became a part-time employee, and eventually took the position of animal caregiver supervisor at the shelter. During this time she became very familiar with the policies and procedures required to successfully run the Shelter, making her an ideal choice to step into the role of Shelter Manager.

As Interim Shelter Manager, Krista rallied the Shelter staff to help many animals when a bout of sickness went through the shelter. After much hard work by the staff, many sick kittens were saved and will soon be ready to be sent out to their forever homes. It is this type of dedication that made Krista the clear choice for the role of Shelter Manager.

The Shelter expects to announce that they will again be open to the public.
