Animal Care Center

A History Rich in Support and Commitment to Animal Harbor



In 2003 FCHS (Franklin County Humane Society) was growing from a local foster-based pet rescue to a stand-alone facility with paid staff and dedicated housing for adoptable dogs and cats. In 2004, Amanda (Mandie) Curty attended a monthly board meeting at Oasis, ready to volunteer! She began eagerly working with board members and shelter staff to raise funds for shelter operations, and was elected to serve on the Board of Directors in 2005. Mandie coordinated remote adoptions, festival booths, and road blocks; designed t-shirts and merchandise for sale; and fostered countless animals before adoption. As Practice Manager at Animal Care Center (ACC), Mandie also quickly became a valuable resource to shelter staff.
