St Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue

10/27/2025

Every single day at St Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue, the heartbeat of our operations comes from one person who keeps it all running smoothly, our Sanctuary Manager, Felicia. 💚

Felicia’s dedication and compassion for the animals in our care are unmatched. Sunrise to sunset, she oversees every detail of our 52 acre sanctuary. From managing daily routines, ensuring every animal receives the love and attention they deserve, coordinating vet and clinic visits, feeding, and so much more. Her hands on leadership keeps our entire team organized and our animals safe, happy, and thriving.

Her work is not easy. It takes strength, patience, and an endless amount of heart. But Felicia shows up every day with a determination that inspires everyone around her. Thanks to her, our sanctuary runs like a well-oiled machine, even when the days are long and the challenges are many.

Please join us in showing some love and appreciation for Felicia, the woman behind so much of what makes St Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue such a special place. 🐾💚

🐾 Sunday smiles start with the best news… QUINTON GOT ADOPTED! 🎉💙

Our goofy, lovable boy FINALLY found his forever family! From zoomies to snuggles, Quinton finally has a place (and people) to call his own. 🥰

We’re so proud of how far he’s come, and we can already tell he’s going to soak up every bit of love and attention he deserves. 😊

Happy tails, Quinton! You’ve officially graduated from rescue life to spoiled for life. 🐶🎓💫

Hey everyone, I’m Quinton!
Thanks to the amazing folks at Jenny Lazo & Associates, my adoption fee is fully covered, because they think I deserve my fairytale ending. 🩵 Contact (985) 630-7627 for a meet and greet or apply at sfas.org

I’m a fun-loving pup with a heart full of love and just a hint of stubbornness to keep things interesting. 😎
I’ve been waiting patiently for my forever home, a place filled with snuggles, laughter, and someone to call my own. Some people say I’m “too old” or “not cute enough,” but I wish they could see what’s in my heart. I’m only a year and a half old, and I have so much love left to give. ❤️
All I need now is someone who will look past the labels and see me for who I really am, a loyal, goofy, loving companion who’s just waiting for his person.
Take a chance on me, please. I’ve been dreaming of the day my tail gets to wag all the way home with you. 🐶💫

Quinton’s Adoption Fee is Covered! 🙌
A huge thank-you to Jenny Lazo & Associates for sponsoring this handsome boy! They saw the amazing dog he is, and we hope his future family does too. 💕 We just need someone willing to look past the surface and see the incredible soul underneath.

Poor Quinton has had it rough. He was dumped as a baby, brought to the sanctuary, and then watched his mom and sister get adopted while he stayed behind. But even after all that, Quinton still holds out hope for his forever home. 💔

You might be wondering why he’s still here, and honestly, so are we. The sad truth? Quinton isn’t “catch your eye cute.” We’ve been told that more than once 😭. And now that he’s a year and a half old, people say he’s “too old.” 🙄
What Quinton lacks in looks, he's more than makes up for in love, laughter, and loyalty. ❤️
He’s playful, laid back, a little stubborn (in the best way), and absolutely adores children. He does great with other dogs too!

Message us or apply at sfas.org for more information or to set up a meet and greet!

🎃🐾 Our Handsome Halloween Hunk is Still on the Hunt for his forever home! 🐾🎃
This goofy boy has been with us for a year and a half, and we can’t believe he hasn’t found his forever family yet! Quinton is the full package:
✨ Playful enough to keep you laughing
✨ Silly and stubborn in the most lovable way
✨ Great with kids and other dogs
✨ Loyal with a heart full of love
Quinton’s only request? No cats please as he’s got a bit too much prey drive for that. 🐱🚫
He’s been waiting far too long for his happily ever after, and we know the right family is out there. Could it be you? 💕
Come meet Quinton and see why he’s impossible not to love. 🐶 Bonus: His adoption fee is sponsored! 🙌
📩 Message us today to learn more about adopting Quinton!

Quinton has waited long enough. He's ready for the family who will see past "just the face" and discover the goofy, loyal, loving dog he truly is.

At a year and a half, Quinton may not win a "cutest dog" contest, but he has something far more special, a heart overflowing with love. He's the kind of dog who will greet you with the biggest tail wags that move his entire body, snuggle up after a long day, and keep you laughing with his playful, sometimes stubborn, personality.

His only request? A cat free home (because cats and Quinton don't exactly mix).

The best part is Quinton's adoption fee is fully sponsored thanks to the amazing, Jenny Lazo & Associates in hopes of finding his forever home.

Message us today for more information and let's get this boy the family he deserves.

This sweet girl was given a second chance. Hopefully we can help her get taken care of.

🐾🐾🐾 URGENT 🐾🐾🐾

Sweet Popsicle is having an unexpected surgery tomorrow. We hope! She has been dealing with a horrible case of happy tail for months and we have tried everything, but despite our efforts have not been able to get it to heal. The fast surgery comes because the vet had a cancellation tomorrow and so we would typically have had time to prepare. Unfortunately, if she doesn’t go tomorrow, it will be a while before she can get in again and it is causing her pain and agitation as she has now began to chew on it.

We need to raise $1000 in 16 hours! Who can come through for Popsicle?!!
