💙GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME💙

As the saying goes, good things take time, and building a lifelong bond with a new furry friend is no different. Pet parents are often consumed with the initial excitement of bringing a new pet home, but that excitement can fade as a pet experiences the normal challenges of adjusting to a new environment, sometimes leading adopters to return pets to the shelter.

Pet parents should approach adoption with knowledge and understanding that there will be bumps in the road. As you welcome a furry friend into your home, remember that your pet is experiencing a big change. And though adopted pets will come with varied backgrounds and temperaments, pet parents can use the handy 3-3-3 rule as a framework to set expectations and work towards realistic goals for a smooth transition: 3 days for adjusting, 3 weeks for training and bonding, and 3 months for routines and socialization.

As we participate in Clear the Shelters , we ask all our adopters to remember the 3-3-3 rule. We also ask, if you can’t adopt please donate to support our life saving efforts at SFAC.

💙From Chains to Chances💙

Miriam looks like a dog you would see on a national commercial asking for donations - but she is a dog from right here in our community. She has lived a life in chains & suffered more than we will know.

Now, thanks to Final Victory, an amazing rescue group, Miriam has a chance. We are so thankful for rescues like Final Victory who are willling to take the not so perfect ones.

We can’t wait to see Miriam’s transformation & what her future holds.

Today is National Check The Chip Day 🔍

Did you know that microchipping helps thousands of lost animals find their way home each year? But this only works if the information is up-to-date! The American Veterinary Medical Association reports that 1 in 3 pets will get lost, and sadly, only 6 out of 10 microchips are registered.

Microchipped dogs & cats have a significantly higher chance of being reunited with their families. Today, we’re reminding you to Check the Chip!

Call or visit your local vet’s office to make sure your contact information is current. You can also call Saint Frances Animal Center & make an appointment at our Cotton Memorial Veterinary Clinic to have your pet chipped.
#843-546-0780

Remember, microchips are not a replacement for collars and tags, but they can make a big difference in bringing our friends home ❤️

All of our Saints are chipped prior to adoption!

⭐️🐈‍⬛ SMALL CARRIERS NEEDED 🐈‍⬛⭐️

Desi has safely made a 2 day road trip! Her new family & forever home was waiting in Connecticut.

This little kitty was lucky to have a ride from volunteers who provided laps & love. Most of our kitties have to be transported in crates and unfortunately we are almost out!

We would greatly appreciate any new or gently used small crates to safely transport our sweet Saints.

You can bring crates or have them shipped to:
Saint Frances Animal Shelter

Thank you in advance for all your support💙

⭐️ FOSTER & HOME FINDER⭐️

We all know that fostering saves lives. Fosters have the very important role of getting animals who aren’t ready - ready for forever homes. Sometimes the foster even finds the home!!

Puppy Fiona was one of the lucky ones in a Foster that also was a Home Finder.

Here is a note from her Foster / Home Finder :

Well it's official!! Foster puppy Miss Fiona, who is now called Piper, has joined our grand rottie Dakota as a member of the Porter Puppy Posse New York chapter. Pics of our 3 eldest granddaughters( Son Rob and daughter in law Trinas girls)And our middle grandson Alan being " pinned "

🫐 THANK YOU BERRY MUCH 🫐

We had a wonderful event at Winyah Blueberry Farm & a check for $1000 has been brought to the shelter. That made a total donation of over $2100!

Thank you to everyone who came out & supported us that Saturday. A big shout out to all the restaurants & Thomas Cafe. They made wonderful goodies for everyone to sample and donate to try. We had left overs that were auctioned off on Sunday & raised more money. Winyah Blueberry Farm kept up the Saint Frances giving for over another week, hence the $1000 check today.

Along with the check, WBF dropped off some much needed food and went home with a foster! Bayley will be a blueberry kitty until she is ready for a wonderful home. 🫐🐈‍⬛💙

THANK YOU BERRY MUCH !!! Our Saints truly appreciate all you do.

⭐️ CLEAR THE SHELTERS⭐️

Pet owners, we really need your help. We are struggling with record numbers of animals in our care, and many of these pets are entering our doors as litters of puppies or kittens. If your pet is not yet spayed or neutered, we are urging you to make a lifesaving impact by scheduling your pet for this routine procedure.

Spaying or neutering your animal reduces their risk of developing certain cancers and life-threatening infections. Plus, it can improve behavior driven by hormones, such as marking or irritability.

But this procedure is not just beneficial to you and your pet — it also helps address overpopulation at its source, reducing the number of animals who enter shelters. We need our entire community of pet families to come together to make a lasting impact and help us be there for animals in most need of support.

Please speak with your veterinarian to learn more about this service. If you need help accessing low-cost spay/neuter services, you can access our website .org and then call our clinic 843-546-0780 for an appointment.

The puppies below are just a few of the MANY Saints who are available for adoption-please spay & neuter your pet.

You can also help us Clear the Shelters by donating directly to this link:

Luna escaped from her foster home. Trust us, this was NOT the fault of the foster ( so NO negative comments). She was last seen on County Line Rd in Andrews, SC wearing this pink collar.

If you see Luna , she is friendly & may come to you. If you get her please bring her to the shelter in the morning. Any information or sightings can be left in comments.

⭐️ SUNDAY, AUGUST 11th, 2024 ⭐️

We are CLOSED TODAY but we ask you think about this….

Saint Frances Animal Center has more animals in our care than ever before in our organization’s history. Like so many shelters across the country, we’re over capacity and need YOUR help. By temporarily opening your home to foster a pet, you can give them a much-needed break from the shelter, help preserve our strained resources and create space for other animals in need.

You can choose from a variety of foster assignments based on your interests, experience and home environment. Whether you’re available for a few days or a few weeks, every bit of help makes an incredible difference! We provide the training and supplies for each type of assignment and you provide the loving home. There are several types of foster assignments to choose from, including Dog, Puppy, Momma Dog, Cat, Kitten, Medical, Behavior, and Adoption Ambassador assignments.

Ready to make a difference for the animals in our care? Visit sfanimals.org today, complete an application and come help us tomorrow.

💙HOPE UPDATE 💙

We aren’t sure what happened to this sweet cat. When she was brought in she was badly burned & had a front leg so severely injured it had to be amputated.

To make things more complicated - she was pregnant too ( which meant her surgery had to be put on hold). Hope delivered her babies and we are sad to say none of them survived. One little kitty held on for a few hours but in the end wasn’t strong enough.

It has been months but Hope is recovering & is still in our medical unit. Other places would have given up on her but we will not give up “Hope”.

We want to THANK YOU - When we reached out to the community for support YOU helped Hope. 💙

Here are 2 pics - one from the day we asked for help & one of Hope today!

FOSTERING SAVES LIVES 🐾

Instead of being scared and nervous at the shelter, Felix is spending the storm in a wonderful foster home.

Here is a note from his foster :

“This is Felix! (But we’ve been calling him Buddy. ☺️) He is so sweet. Great around our cat and two other dogs. Definitely shy and a little scared of some noises, but have no doubt he would grow out of that in no time with the right family! “

Save Them All

Saint Frances Animal Center is Georgetown County, SC’s only open-admission animal shelter. Taking in 1,500 homeless cats and dogs each year, we focus on making sure every animal who has been lost, abandoned, abused, or neglected has a happy ending to their story. Saint Frances Animal Center cares for, treats, and rehabilitates every animal that comes to our shelter so they can go on to find loving homes. We focus on saving them all.

In addition, SFAC runs a low-cost veterinary clinic that provides full-service, affordable veterinary care and spay/neuter surgeries for families. We believe the love and joy that pets bring to our lives should not be limited by a family’s income. We want to ensure that all pets are neutered, vaccinated, and healthy, regardless of a family’s financial challenges.
