St. Francis CARE

Community Animal Rescue and Education was founded in 2006 by a group of animal enthusiasts who wanted to provide shelter for unwanted animals before placing them in good homes. The founders soon expanded their purpose to educate the public about the importance of spaying and neutering pets to minimize the use of euthanasia for population control.

FAQ

Our adoption fees include spay or neuter, microchip, and vaccines up to and including the rabies vaccine. All of our dogs over the age of 6 months are checked for heart-worm disease and will either be started on a preventative or treated for heart-worm disease. All of our adoptable cats are screened for FeLV/FIV.

We prefer Purina One Adult Dog, Puppy, Cat and Kitten. We ask that you avoid foods with artificial coloring.

Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50% of dogs and 90% of cats. Spaying or neutering will help your pet live a longer, healthier life.

Adopt, donate, and volunteer! There are many ways you can help us save lives, whether you are directly involved in the volunteer team or from a distance through different donor opportunities

what we do

Our Mission

We provide shelter and veterinary care to lost, unwanted, and abandoned animals until they can be placed in a kind and loving home where they will be cared for in a safe and humane environment for the rest of their natural lives. We also seek to improve the community by educating the public about the importance of spaying and neutering. This prevents undesired breeding and minimizes the need for euthanasia also by promoting the adoption of animals as pets from pounds, shelters, and animal rescue groups rather than supporting inhumane puppy and kitten mills, which contribute to the problem of overpopulation of domestic animals.

We are a 501c3 not for profit organization, which means we rely heavily on donations from the public to keep us up and running. Our animals need many things to keep them comfortable and happy, and we strive to make sure they are spoiled rotten!
