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.

🐾✨ The Power of Fostering: A Heartwarming Story ✨🐾

A few weeks ago, a wonderful group of volunteers from North Carolina visited St. Francis Farm to meet some of our animals and lend a helping hand. Among the many stories, one stood out that truly shows the magic of fostering. 💙

A caregiver at the farm had been trying to find a local foster for two sweet Aussies, Hank and Merle. But she hadn’t found the right person—sometimes, you just have that gut feeling when something is meant to be. 🙏

Leah arrives, one of our amazing volunteers. She spent some time with Hank and Merle, and it didn’t take long for her to fall head over heels in love! 💕 Anyone who knows the Aussie breed understands how unique and special they are.

After a few days of chatting and making arrangements, Leah decided to take the leap and foster Merle. And let’s just say, we were all over the moon with excitement for both of them! 🎉

So far, things have been going wonderfully! Merle is thriving in her new foster home, and she even has a playmate to keep her company. 🐾

This is just another beautiful example of how fostering saves lives and creates magical new beginnings. A big THANK YOU, Leah, for opening your heart & home to Merle! ❤️

Introducing Princess Oatmeal:

The sweetest, shy lap dog looking for lots love. This gentle soul is as sweet as they come, though she’s a little shy at first. With a bit of patience and a whole lot of love, she’ll blossom into your most loyal companion. Once you’ve earned her trust, she’s all yours – a total lap dog who adores snuggles and showing off her favorite sweater.
She’s looking for a foster home or, even better, her forever home. If you’ve got a quiet home and a big heart, she’ll be your perfect match! Let’s help her find the perfect cozy, patient loving home she deserves.

Meet Ava 🐾

Ava came to us from a heartbreaking hoarding and abuse case through our local animal shelter. Despite everything she’s been through, she’s showing us just how strong and resilient she is. ❤️

We’re still unsure about what’s going on with her back legs. X-rays didn’t reveal any broken bones, and our vet has recommended laser therapy along with continued care at the farm to see if we can help her improve. So far, so good—she’s making slow progress, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed! 🤞

Ava has already stolen our hearts, and we’re committed to giving her the best shot at a happy, healthy future. To help accommodate her needs, we’re looking for a few items that would make her journey a little easier. If you’d like to contribute, we’ve put together an Amazon wishlist with everything she needs.

📦 Amazon Wishlist Link: [https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/25H82HHN3W02R?ref_=wl_share

Thank you so much for your kindness and support—Ava and all of us here appreciate it more than you know! 💕

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. 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.
