For nearly 15 years, SFPC has been committed to serving the needs of animals and people in our community and strengthening the human-animal bond. Over that time, those needs have evolved, and SFPC has always met those changing needs with a very clear focus: helping the pets who need us most and supporting the relationship between people and pets. Atlanta Humane Society and Remedy share our mission and vision.

This transition will not change our mission and will only allow us to do more.

We are excited for this new chapter and hope you will continue with us on this journey. You can now find us on social at Remedy.

Meet Coach, an 11-month-old puppy whose journey tugged at our hearts. When he arrived at St. Francis Pet Care, his worried owner recounted a familiar fear—she had lost a young dog to the Parvo virus before, and Coach's symptoms were eerily similar.

Thankfully, Coach had received his Parvo vaccine, allowing our dedicated doctors to focus on uncovering the true cause of his distress. After in-clinic treatment and an x-ray, the diagnosis was clear: a bowel obstruction. The only solution? A $2,500 surgery—far beyond his owner's means.

But in times of need, our community rallied. Thanks to our partnership with other clinics, like Community Care Veterinary Specialists, and generous private donors, Coach was able to receive the lifesaving surgery he needed.

His story is a testament to the power of community and compassion. We are stronger when we work together.

This , be a hero like Coach's benefactors. Your donation can transform the lives of pets and their devoted owners, ensuring that financial barriers never stand in the way of life-saving care.

Please join us during and help us keep families together.

Happy Easter! 🐣🐇Hiding treats for your dog or cat to find can be a great Easter activity for your pet. Always supervise your pet during any search activity to be sure they don’t chew on plastic items. REMINDER: Be sure that all chocolate is safely out of their reach, as it is toxic to pets. Supervise children and pets closely to make sure chocolate treats aren’t “shared” with your pet.

We at St. Francis Pet Care wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year and thank you for your continued support! As New Year celebrations approach, we would like to share some tips for keeping your pets safe:

🎇 Keep them indoors: Loud fireworks can startle animals, causing them to panic and run away. Create a calm and secure environment by keeping your pets safely indoors during firework displays. Also remember that fireworks may go off well before and after the holiday.

🎆 Microchip/ place identification tags on your pets: The loud noises and chaos of the holiday can increase the chances of your pet getting lost. Ensure your pet is microchipped and that their contact information is up to date. It's a crucial step in reuniting them with you if they wander off.

🎇 Provide a safe space: Create a cozy and quiet area in your home where your pets can retreat. Close shades and curtains to muffle the sound and sights of fireworks. Put on music, TV, or other white noise to mask the sounds.

🎆 Safe travels: If you're hitting the road, make sure your pet is secured in a well-ventilated crate or restrained with a harness.

🎇 Watch out for debris: After the celebrations, be mindful of potential hazards on the ground. Clean up any fireworks debris, sparklers or other sharp objects that can harm your pet if swallowed or stepped on.

Remember, our companion animals rely on us for their well-being. Let's celebrate responsibly and keep them safe this New Year!! The clinic will reopen Tuesday, January 2nd.

Last year, Deborah, Zoe's owner, faced the heartbreaking loss of her beloved Boston to cancer. Unable to afford care elsewhere, she turned to our clinic for help.

Months later, with a heart open to love again, Deborah welcomed Zoe into her family. 🐶❤️ Little did she know, Zoe would soon face her own scary diagnosis.

During Zoe’s initial exam, we noticed multiple masses on her leg and chest, which were found to be cancerous. It was Deborah’s worst nightmare come true.

Thanks to our volunteer veterinarians and the generosity of our amazing community, Zoe was able to get a complete work-up and underwent a successful surgery. She is now cancer-free and thriving!

With your generous donation, we can continue to help animals like Zoe get the treatment they so desperately need to survive.

When you make a generous gift before December 31, your gift will be doubled - up to $2,000 - thanks to an anonymous donor to support more animals like Zoe.
