Shelter FAQs

FCHS is a smaller, privately run non-profit organization dedicated to serving the homeless, abandoned, and lost companion animals in our area. We operate an open-admission animal shelter, refusing no animal in need, and providing the possibility of adoption for these unwanted animals. We strive to reduce pet overpopulation through promoting spaying and neutering and altering all pets adopted from our shelter, and we return lost pets by researching ownership and providing better identification.Franklin County Humane Society Union Missouri Like many small shelters, we receive no state or county tax support and no funding from other humane organizations or the United Way, nor are we related to the St. Louis Humane Society. While we receive fees and occasional donations for surrendered animals, we are dependent on private donations from our community. It costs about $1,200 per day to keep our doors open! We serve Franklin County (75%), but also 13 other counties because there are no other open-admission shelters in our immediate area. We make a huge impact in east central Missouri.
We serve Franklin County, Missouri as well as 13 surrounding counties. We have and will adopt pets out to other areas, however we do not ship our pets, they must be picked up in person.
