About St Clouds Rescue
St. Cloud's Rescue is a 501c-3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing care and adoption services for Saint Bernards and other large breed dogs. Our dogs are not "for sale", nor do you "buy" them. They are available to be adopted for a donation. Before they leave our care all dogs are vaccinated, spayed/neutered and on all appropriate heartworm, tick, flea medications. We also do house checks of the potential adopters, check veterinary and personal references and do introductions.
St. Cloud’s Rescue is operated and run by Rosemary Adkins Cloud and her husband, Chuck. St Cloud’s operates without the benefit of foster homes. All the dogs live on the premises in McKinney, Texas. We house between 45-55 dogs at a time.
We rescue as many Saints as we can properly take care of from kill shelters in Texas, Oklahoma Louisiana and even as far away as Alabama and Georgia. We also take surrendered Saints so they do not end up in kill shelters. Our mission is to save as many of these magnificent dogs as we possibly can.
During 2014 we rehomed 64 dogs. We have been rescuing dogs since 2003 and have rehomed over 600 dogs.
We have placed 11 dogs in special need homes with children with autism or downs syndrome.
We use over 80 lb. of dog food a day and have vet bills during the year of over $20,000.
Any donation is appreciated in helping us continue to save the lives of so many animals.
Your donations are tax deductible.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
