FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) â Despite having to navigate challenges, 2020 was a historic year for the Franklin County Humane Society.
The humane society has seen plenty of cats and dogs come through the doors. In 2020, 95 percent of them left after being adopted, reclaimed by owners, or transferred to other rescues. That s the first time the outcome rate has ever been that high in the organization s history. That s an extraordinary feat in the midst of the pandemic, said Shelter Manager Kerry Lowary.
