⚖️🐾 Saturday at St. Francis Animal Shelter: It’s Weight Check Day! 🐾⚖️
Every Saturday, we make sure all our furry residents are on track with their health by doing weight checks! Maintaining a healthy weight is key to their happiness and long-term well-being—plus, it helps us tailor their diets and exercise plans. 🐶🐱💪
From the tiniest kittens to the biggest pups, every pound counts! This little routine helps us catch any health changes early and keep tails wagging strong.
Healthy pets = happy pets = happy hearts! ❤️🐾

Did you know that we offer low-cost vaccines as well as nail trimmings in house at the shelter?! A few treats, a little peanut butter, and a whole lot of loves goes a long way! Eric and Bear had their DHPP and Boardatella vaccines today and Bear plus three kitties got their nails trimmed today. We are so happy to be able help put our furry friends 🐾

🐾 Hi friends, it’s me—Daphne! 🐶💛

I love hanging out in the lobby, greeting everyone who comes through the door, and yes… I do claim all the comfy chairs as my throne. 👑✨ But as much as I enjoy my lobby visits, what I really want is a family of my very own.

Could you be the one to give me a chance and take me home? I promise endless love, loyalty, and plenty of cozy chair cuddles. 💕

🚨 Important Notice: Animal Surrenders 🚨

Due to illness within the shelter and limited space, we are currently experiencing a minimum 2-week wait on all animal surrenders.

We understand this may be difficult, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we focus on keeping the animals already in our care safe and healthy. 💙

If you need to be placed on the surrender waitlist or require resources in the meantime, please contact us directly—we’re here to help however we can.

Thank you for supporting us during this challenging time. 🐾

Hi! My name is Jake.

I’m an adventurous, sure footed, (a little slow moving) 18 year old shaggy black dog. At about 1 am Thursday morning (8-28-25) I snuck out of the Pole Creek Cabin, a few miles up the road from South Fork Lodge on the Buffalo side of the Big Horns. I am friendly, so could’ve gotten tired and hitched a ride. But am also a very experienced free roamer at my home in the Black Hills of South Dakota. My loving family is very worried about me being lost/hurt… and our 1 night sleepover now turning into 3. So any reports or sightings would be extremely appreciated! The Sheriffs office, all local neighbors, forest service, and lodges have been notified so please reach out to them with our lack of cell signal. We plan to stick around and keep searching the surrounding forest until any news has been received. Thanks for helping me try & get home! 🐾🌲

*WE NEED HELP NOW*

This little guy is Pesto. This sweet boy developed a severe eye infection and despite our best efforts, he recently had to have his eye removed. This is just one example of the care provided to homeless pets in our facility.

Over the last three months, versus the same time frame in 2024, our donations are down over $7000. We are struggling to pay our bills.

While we remain committed to providing food, shelter, and veterinary care to our animals, we need your help now to continue.

Would you consider becoming a Monthly Megastar? Our monthly megastars commit to a monthly donation, as low as $10 a month, to help ensure funds are available to provide care. In return, you’ll be the first to know about any puppies or small dogs we receive before we announce them to the public. To sign up as a Monthly Megastar, please visit our website listed below.

If you can’t commit to becoming a monthly megastar, one time donations in any amount would be awesome! If you’d rather donate goods, please check out our wish list on our website.

Thank you so much!
