St. Francis Society Animal Rescue

Adoptions


To adopt a cat or dog from St. Francis, you must first fill out an Adoption Agreement form and submit it to a St. Francis volunteer. The agreement form will be carefully reviewed by a director. Only a director can approve or disapprove an application for adoption. We try to get applications reviewed as quickly as possible. If we have problems contacting your references, this will delay the process. Most disapprovals result either from a negative veterinary reference, a "no pets" policy by landlords, or a difference in philosophy regarding the treatment of animals. St. Francis Society is a privately owned, all volunteer organization. We have strict guidelines for adoption approval and our volunteers have the right to refuse adoption applicants based on their own judgment.

Once an application is approved, the adopter is notified and can arrange to pick up their new pet. There are certain items that you must have before we will release the pet. A volunteer will be happy to assist you with shopping for your new friend before leaving PetsMart. You will also receive a copy of the pets health records and a packet of information put together especially for you and the new pet by one of our volunteers.

  • My story: I am young, happy go lucky and quite handsome as well. I was adopted three months ago but something happened and I found myself wandering around my foster family’s parking lot late at night, my foster Mom tried very hard to find my first owner, but to no avail. So I am looking for a forever loving home again. I love my foster home and their older dog Ruben, when I first saw him I knew I was going to be OK. My foster Mom takes me swimming, running and wrestling with other dogs at the puppy park which I love very much and need because I have lots of energy. I also can be very mellow, I love to cuddle, I am smart and a quick learn. I love going on walks with my foster Mom and foster dog Ruben; on our walks I love saying hi to everyone and just think life is great. My foster family is very devoted to me and will make sure I only go to the very best of forever loving homes. If you are that family I can’t wait to meet you. I did try and chase a stray cat (I'm sorry) but I might learn to be good with them. I want to be good... so thats a start. Not recommended for home with children under the age of 10 yrs old by the SPCA Please do not phone. You must email or click on the site if you want me. No phone calls. Do this right for me, ok?
