Story
Nova is not just a name; but a testament to her resilience as the shining star of St. Francis! This 2-year-old female pit bull mix arrived at our shelter in August, a survivor of severe neglect. Despite her challenging past, Nova has emerged stronger, healthier, and ready to light up a new home with her playful energy.If you're a fan of fetch, Nova is the perfect playmate. Watching her chase after a ball with pure delight is not only heartwarming but also a reminder of the transformative power of love and care.This charming girl has mastered the art of taking treats with gentle precision. Nova's loving personality shines through in every interaction, making her not just a pet but a cherished family member waiting to be discovered.Nova is potty-trained, though we always remind those who adopt dogs who have spent time in shelters or may have dealt with neglect, that they may need a refresher course as shelter life is very different as they adjust to a new home and schedule.Nova has shown compatibility with dogs of similar size during her time at the shelter, however we always recommend a meet and greet as well as a home visit for potential adopters who already have other pets in the home. Each furry friend has their own unique personality, and we want to ensure a harmonious home for all.As you consider welcoming Nova into your home, remember that you're not just adopting a dog; you're providing a second chance for a beautiful soul who has triumphed over adversity.Please visit: Https://www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt for adoption information including the adoption application

Meet Cora. She was brought in as a stray with an injured leg.Sadly her owner never came forward to claim this sweet girl.Cora seems to prefer female humans as she is often fearful of men.She likes to play with other dogs but she can be overwhelming to some.We believe this smart girl will be easily house trained if kept on a schedule as she already keeps a clean kennel during the day.Leash walking is a work in progress but she listens well so with time and patience she will learn this and so much more.We are going to recommend older children as Cora doesn't realize her size and could accidentally knock a small child over.Please complete an application.Cora is waiting.Please visit: Https://www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt for adoption information including the adoption application

Helloooo Ringooo!❤This 1 year old Staffordshire Terrier mix is such a people lover! He always wants attention from anyone he meets, and you will absolutely want to give him all the pets and cuddles. He is too cute!Ringo loves to spend his days here at HSSI playing will all the toys. If you give him a ball, he will be content for the entire day. He is still learning basic commands, mostly not to jump when he's gets too excited! He's getting there, but would definitely do best with a family willing to commit to puppy training.This bulldozer of a guy has been with us for 4 months too long and would love to finally be introduced to a home environment. He has spent most of his life on the streets and then in a shelter with staff who are not able to give him all the attention and affection that he truly deserves. Please help Ringo find a home!Ringo is up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, and only in need of his rabies vaccine. Until he is neutered, he will be available for foster to adopt. He has been through soooo much in his short life and his biggest wish is to ring in the New Year with his new family!All animals must be spayed or neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated before finalizing adoption.

Princess Bella is just that, a princess! She is such a great girl. Princess Bella is good with other dogs but prefers to not be friends with kitties at this time. Princess Bella loves couches and cuddling. She would be fine with a mellow or an active family! She is perfectly content being a couch potato but also would love to go on adventures. At the shelter she was timid and would pancake on the floor in doorways. Now she is a playful more confident dog! She has been in a loving foster home for about a year to complete heartworm treatment (slow kill method). She would love to be adopted into her forever family.

Beautiful brindle Susie is a 2 year old gal who needs a good home! Requirements: 1) Must give frequent belly rubs 2) Must accept that Susie Q is likely to love you so much, she becomes a Velcro dog. She is dog selective. Must have meet n greet with your dog. Her adoption fee includes spay, microchip, vaccines, and heartworm free/on prevention. Come meet sweet Susie! She has been here for weeks with NO interest at all. She tends to get too excited when someone is coming to see her, and it can be a little off putting! But when she calms down, she's so, so, so, sooooo loving! In a different environment, she will be a totally different dog. She really needs out of here. Can you be her hero?April 28, 2024, 7:35 pm

Sweet Gus came to us as a Code Red dog. We are already seeing him settle in and relax a bit. We are so glad we could save his life, but the work has only just begun! Now we need to get him neutered and find him a good home! He gets the zoomies and likes to run! This might be from spending time cooped up in a kennel without any exercise. If you look in his eyes, you can see how sweet and loving he is. Gus wants to share his love and find his forever person. Apply online or come visit during open hours to apply in person. We are open Sat and Sunday 2 to 4 pm or by appointment with an approved application.April 28, 2024, 7:35 pm

Story
Hello, My name is Harrison.Now that my "wheelie" brother from another mother, Luke has found his forever home in Florida, I thought I would see if my people are out there.I'm not one to brag. But, you know, people talk when they think you're not listening. Boy have I heard some things about me! Let me tell you a few:"Harrison is one of the sweetest, most loving dogs I've worked with. He loves to snuggle but is also hell on wheels! (in the best way).""When Harrison is out of his wheels and running around the play yard, he would give Peter Cottontail a run for his money with the way he hops.""Harrison is a lover and very smart. Some of his favorite things are food, outside walks in his chair, food, people, food, attention, food, and the never missing stuffed animal he carries."Now for the boring stuff. November 2022 could have been better for me. I was found in a ditch by a caring soul after being hit by a car. That's when St Francis stepped in to provide my medical care, rehab, and love. Lots of love!!I like most dogs. But, I may be just a tad too interested in cats.Got food? I'll train with you. Remember someone says I was smart. Got kids? I'll play with them. I love little hoomans... As long as I get some exercise. I'm a big boy and without the use of my back legs, I sometimes can't stop once I get going. I could knock little ones down by accident.Got time and patience? This 55 pound, 2-year-old, proud Boxer needs some embarrassing help. You see, I need help to ... ... ... pee n poop. It's not hard to help me. My friends here at St Francis will be happy to teach you, and with practice you'll soon be a pro!I have so much love to give, sometimes I think my heart will explode if I don't get a family of my own. I already have wheels that i LOVE and if you take me home, you get to take those, too.Got questions? Have your people call my people.Can't resist me?
