St Francis Farm Animal Sanctuary

St Francis Farm Animal Sanctuary In 2013, Last Chance Animal Rescue acquired St.Francis Farm in Carlisle SC. This beautiful 50 acre farm is where we will build our dream animal sanctuary.

Established in 2013 by Last Chance Animal Rescue, St Francis Farm Animal Sanctuary is situated on 50 acres in Carlisle, SC. Currently, the farm is home to approximately 100 dogs and 50 cats. The sanctuary was created as a safe haven for animals that cannot thrive in a traditional home. We believe that every animal has the right to life, so the sanctuary was born! The sanctuary specializes in dogs

that require an environment that can cater to their complex behavioral challenges. We also have a large number of animals with a wide variety of medical challenges and many senior dogs and cats that prove difficult to find forever homes for. Our continuing goal is to address these challenges and provide an alternative situation that meets their individual needs including training and socialization as well as full access to ongoing medical care. Our hearts bleed for the senior animals that have found themselves homeless in their golden years, many afflicted with medical problems that make them even harder to place. St Francis Farm is a comforting “home environment” with wrap around porches and big shady tree’s that welcome these old friends and provide the ongoing care that they require until their time comes. The demand for a facility like St Francis Farm is ever growing and the possibilities are endless. For our future, we envision a sanctuary for both people and animals to connect with nature. To achieve our goals for expansion, and to provide the level of care these animals deserve, we are seeking individuals and organizations who believe in our mission to help underwrite the associated costs.

Sapphire — The epitome of “mommy I want a puppy for Christmas”. Sapphire is the ideal gal for someone who has been longing for a puppy to call their own. At approximately 5 months old, this black labrador retriever mix’s jolly personality develops more and more each day. She is very friendly and open to interaction with anyone she comes in contact with. She is suitable for any type of home environment; whether you have other dogs, cats, children, or are by yourself, as long as she has someone to play with she is happy. Despite her puppy-like liveliness, she also knows when it is time to settle down, and becomes the ideal snuggle buddy. Pay close attention to her when her needs have been met; you will see the corners of her mouth tugged into an appreciative, content grin that lets you know she is grateful for your care

🌈🐾 In Loving Memory of Tiger 🐾🌈
Today, with heavy hearts, we said goodbye to our beloved Tiger as he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. At 17 years old, he was a testament to resilience, love, and the enduring spirit of our furry friends.
Tiger spent his golden years surrounded by love and care at St. Francis Farm. Though his journey here began with uncertainty, he quickly became a cherished member of our family and touched the lives of everyone who met him. He was always eager to see Whitney Knowlton walk through the doors as she is the one that truly SAVED Tiger in his younger years.
Tiger's favorite days were spent basking in the sun, enjoying belly rubs, and savoring special treats. He had a gentle soul that reminded us daily why we do what we do—to give animals like him the love they deserve.
Run free, sweet boy. You’ll forever be in our hearts. 💔💖
Thank you to everyone who supported Tiger's journey. Your kindness ensured he lived a life filled with comfort and love until his final day.

🎄🐾✨ A Christmas Miracle for 9 Amazing Dogs ✨🐾🎄

Dear Friends,
This holiday season, we’re wishing for a Christmas miracle — a warm home and loving hearts for 9 incredible dogs who have been patiently waiting for their forever homes. Like Santa's 9 reindeer, each one of these pups has a unique story, boundless love to give, and the ability to guide your family toward joy, companionship and of course a little sparkle.

Each of these dogs has something special to offer:
🐾 A goofy grin to brighten your mornings.
🐾 A gentle paw to hold when times get tough.
🐾 A wagging tail to remind you that love is unconditional.
These loyal companions have endured so much yet remain hopeful that their forever home or a foster home will find them.
📅 This Christmas, let’s rewrite their stories together. Open your heart, your home, and your arms to one of these amazing dogs. Let their love guide your family, just like Santa’s reindeer light up the night sky.
🐶❤️ They’re waiting, believing, and dreaming — and with your help, this Christmas will be the one where they finally come home.
Let’s make this holiday one to remember for our 9 furry friends. Together lets spread the word for them, we can create a miracle. ✨

✨🦌 Sirius: A Bright Star Ready to Shine in Your Home🦌✨

Like the legendary star he's named after, Sirius lights up every room he enters. This one year old Lab Retriever mix is as brilliant as they come—smart, playful, and full of love. He’s already mastered the art of sitting (though he adorably plops right onto your feet!) and is a fetch enthusiast who’ll keep you entertained for hours with his boundless energy and charm.
Sirius is searching for his forever home or a foster family to guide him through his journey—much like Rudolph finding his way in the night sky. Will you be the guiding light for this incredible pup?

Our Story

St. Francis Farm, established by Last Chance Animal Rescue in 2013, is a sanctuary situated on 50 acres in Carlisle, SC. There are many circumstances that may call on us to provide a safe haven when a traditional home cannot meet an animal’s needs; whether medical or behavioral, we believe that every animal has a right to life. St. Francis Farm enables us to keep our lifelong commitment to those that we have rescued. The sanctuary specializes in dogs that require an environment that can cater to their complex behavioral challenges. We also have a large number of animals with a wide variety of medical challenges and many senior dogs and cats that prove difficult to find forever homes for.
