St. Francis Animal Sanctuary
About this Organization
A message from our Executive Director:
Since I began in June 2024, St. Francis Animal Sanctuary & Rescue has saved over 400 animals from euthanasia in Louisiana and Mississippi - many from high-kill shelters and disaster zones.
We're a small team with big goals: help rural shelters reach no-kill status and become the emergency disaster hub for the Southeast, saving 1,000+ dogs a year.
When disaster hits, animals come to us - but we can't do it without you.
In under a year, we've completed 15 transports to northern rescue partners, focusing on large breeds and overlooked dogs. Every animal was cared for and loved - thanks to donors like you.
When storms strike, we act fast. We take in animals, send back supplies, and show up where no one else can.
One rescuer said a donated generator was air-dropped into an impassable area of North Carolina. That's the difference your support makes.
This GiveNOLA Day, please help us keep saying yes - to the next rescue, the next life, the next chance at hope!
Thank you for standing with us! Thank you for standing in the gap!

Executive Director
