Ward off any potential Friday the 13th bad luck by visiting the Pup Meetup from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Friday, April 13, at the Visitor Center located at 400 Main Street in downtown Franklin.

Come with your dog to meet other pups or stop by solo to visit the puppy kissing booth and meet adoptable dogs from the Williamson County Animal Center. For a small donation, step up to the puppy kissing booth at the Visitor Center and instantly make your day brighter. Inside the Visitor Center, in addition to meeting dogs looking for a new home, purchase the children’s book “My Dog Needs Me” from Flowerpot Press for $10, with 100 percent of the proceeds going directly to the Williamson County Animal Center. Donations of any amount to the Animal Center will also be accepted all day at the Visitor Center.
