Read all about Loretta.💕
She is a Staff Favorite & is ready for a home of her own.

Loretta is a beautiful hound with all the best traits of the breed - alert, super intelligent, and friendly all day long! She and Lieutenant Ryan Owens got along great, especially when Loretta sat right down on the bench and shook paws before adopting a noble pose. Loretta has beautiful deep russet coloring, a frosty white bib, and the softest ears in the business. She is three years old, spayed and up to date on all her vaccines. She is heartworm positive, but already treated, and thanks to some generous donors, her adoption fee is waived!

You can meet Loretta at St. Frances Animal Center Monday - Friday, 11 am - 5 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 11 am - 4 pm at 125 N. Ridge Street, Georgetown.

💙 COMMITTED 💙

Georgetown's “Blizzard” of 2025 posed some problems. But our team remains committed to providing care for the animals we love.

In this area, we lack access to equipment such as salt trucks and plows, making it difficult for our crew to report to work. Nevertheless, they persevered, ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of over 200 pets.

We extend our sincerest gratitude to our committed volunteers, Margie, Ken, and Karen, who lent their help and support during this time.

Y’all be safe & Saint Frances Animal Center will
resume adoption & rescue operations as soon as the ice is off the roads.

FOR PETS SAKE:
Please Read this Important Information 🥶

With cold temperatures and wintry precipitation in the forecast, don’t forget your pets! Keep your furry friends safe and cozy this winter with these tips:

🐾 Bring Pets Indoors: Pets are vulnerable to cold temperatures. Bring them inside during freezing weather.

🐾 Provide Warm Shelter: If pets must stay outdoors, ensure they have a warm, dry, and insulated shelter that’s elevated off the ground.

🐾 Protect Their Paws: Salt, ice, and snow can irritate paws. Wipe them clean after walks and consider using pet-safe booties.

🐾 Keep Them Hydrated: Ensure fresh, non-frozen water is always available. Use heated water bowls if needed.

🐾 Limit Outdoor Time: Shorten walks in extreme cold, especially for young, elderly, or short-haired pets.

Keep them warm, keep them safe!

NOT GIVING UP⭐️

Jeff has had so many “close calls” at getting out of the shelter BUT they always seem to fall through.. 😞

HOWEVER, he is NOT giving up! Jeff is a great dog & deserves a ticket out of the shelter.

A little about Jeff:
-He has the markings & the smarts of a Catahoula.
-He loves the water like a Labrador. We don't know if that's what he is - but we do know he's an awesome dog!
-He enjoys hanging out with all of us, exploring the play yard & of course his pool time.

🐾Come meet this cool dog🐾
Available for Adoption or Rescue

THANK YOU ASPCA 🧡

Watching sick little Saints struggling to breathe is heart wrenching. Before now, all our staff could do was administer proper medications & hope.

Now, thanks to a wonderful donation from the ASPCA our clinic has oxygen cages!

Oxygen cages are used in veterinary clinics to provide supplemental oxygen to pets who are having respiratory distress. They are a vital tool to support recovery. Little Saints fighting for air will now be more comfortable & under less stress as the cages deliver oxygen precisely & consistently.

Thank you ASPCA. - you have made our sick Saints & staff breathe a little easier. 🧡
