One of the biggest fundraisers for the organization that supports the Franklin Township Animal Shelter wrapped up on December 9.
“Santa Paws,” sponsored by Second Chance for Animals, offers pet parents a chance to have their furry, scaley or slimy friend photographed with Santa Claus in time for holiday card and gift creating.
