To adopt a cat or dog from St. Francis, you must first fill out an Adoption Agreement form and submit it to a St. Francis volunteer. The agreement form will be carefully reviewed by a director. Only a director can approve or disapprove an application for adoption. We try to get applications reviewed as quickly as possible. If we have problems contacting your references, this will delay the process. Most disapprovals result either from a negative veterinary reference, a "no pets" policy by landlords, or a difference in philosophy regarding the treatment of animals. St. Francis Society is a privately owned, all volunteer organization. We have strict guidelines for adoption approval and our volunteers have the right to refuse adoption applicants based on their own judgment.

Once an application is approved, the adopter is notified and can arrange to pick up their new pet. There are certain items that you must have before we will release the pet. A volunteer will be happy to assist you with shopping for your new friend before leaving PetsMart. You will also receive a copy of the pets health records and a packet of information put together especially for you and the new pet by one of our volunteers.

• My story: My name is Sassy and I am a Two year old sweet little girl who my foster mom thinks is a hound dog mix of some kind. My other family adopted me in June of 2011...saving me from a bad shelter and an even worst fate. Unfortunately my new Dad and Mom had to move out of state to keep their jobs and could not afford to take all their animals with them. I am white with brown spotting like a hunting dog...but I don't like to hunt...I like to curl up with you in bed give you good night kisses and sleep right next to you. I am a little timid at first when meeting new dogs and people...but once I get to know you I am a happy girl. I am crate trained and I have started to learn my basic obedience which I am eager to learn. My new foster Mom renamed me Sassy since I am playing with her 120 lb.. Rottweiler and five other large foster dogs and I try to get the best of all of them! I can't wait to come play with you and then at the end of the day cuddle up in bed and sleep next to you!
