Mission

St. Francis Animal Sanctuary is a haven for the care and adoption of unwanted animals in Southwest Mississippi and Louisiana.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • St. Francis Animal Sanctuary's mission is to help the Gulf South become a no-kill region. We rescue dogs and cats directly from euthanasia lists at small municipal shelters, provide housing and medical care, and then place them into adoption programs or rescue transport. In addition, we serve the Tylertown, MS community by offering a safe place for owner surrenders and hosting free vaccine and spay/neuter clinics throughout the year.Through partnerships with organizations across the country, one of St. Francis Animal Sanctuary's core missions is providing relief to areas struck by natural disasters. Since 2024, we've stepped in to save animals affected by hurricanes, forest fires, and floods, often arriving when local shelters have been destroyed or overwhelmed. We take in these displaced pets, provide them with critical medical care, and then place them into our established transport and adoption programs. By giving these animals safety, stability, and the chance at a new home, we help both the communities in crisis and the pets who might otherwise have nowhere to turn.
    Expenses $675,488
  • St. Francis Animal Sanctuary has a transport and fostering program in order to further its mission with limited resources. The organization has 24 acres; however there is limited space due to its no-kill mission. Foster families provide more capacity for SFAS allowing them to help more animals. Certain animals may need to be fostered for a variety of reasons, such as they are too young for adoption or in order to recover after a medical procedure. Foster families provide the love and stability these animal need to be happy and healthy, both mentally and physically. When an animal has been in a foster home, it is more confident and social; therefore, it is able to transition into its new home with ease.St. Francis Animal Sanctuary's transport program has saved hundreds of lives by pulling dogs and cats directly from euthanasia lists at small municipal shelters with little to no funding. Our focus is on large, harder-to-place breeds that often have the fewest options in these facilities. Once rescued, the animals enter our transport network, connecting them with trusted rescue partners across the country. In many cases, these pets are welcomed straight into loving homes. This program has made a measurable impact on the live-release rates of municipal shelters throughout the Gulf South and is a cornerstone of our mission to help the region become fully no-kill.
    Expenses $40,962
  • St. Francis Animal Sanctuary holds adoption days various times a month around its geographic region for select animals. SFAS looks for responsible and caring people to provide rescued animals a second chance at happiness. The organization expects all of the animals to become an integral part of their new family. SFAS has basic guidelines that are considered to qualify a person for adoption. If an individual qualifies for adoption, a legally binding adoption agreement is signed and an adoption fee is remitted.
