ADOPTION EVENTS are typically the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Saturday of the month at Petco at 1250 N. Germantown Road in Cordova. However, all dates are subject to change due to scheduling conflicts. Please feel free to call 901-482-9921 to confirm the event, for more information, or to set up a private meet and greet with a particular pet.
FOSTER FAMILIES are urgently needed for our dogs and cats. If you can be a foster, please call 901-482-9921 for more information.
Fostering is a good way to help our rescue, and it also helps our dogs and cats become more socialized and become better pets. Volunteers are needed to foster a dog or cat in their home. Many rescues are in need of socialization and basic obedience training. Many rescue pets have been abused in the past. The length of fostering varies. Some animals are adopted out more quickly than others, as it often depends on breeds available and health issues of the dog or cat. The more foster families we have, the more animals we can help! If you cannot foster, St. Francis also needs help at adoption days. Volunteers talk to potential adopters about our animals, handle the dogs and cats while at the event, and help set up the event.
Fenced yards of at least 6' are required on most adoptions, and we make local adoptions only, as a home visit is required
prior to approval of adoption. Vet references and/or personal references are also required before approval of adoption. Email us for a copy of our adoption application. We hold the right to refuse adoptions not meeting our guidelines. If you see a pet on our website, call 901-482-9921 or email SFARR and we can schedule a meet
and greet once you have been approved for adoption. Meetings are arranged at local pet stores, parks, or your home, as we do not allow visits in the foster homes. The adoption fee is $95 and includes FOR DOGS: spaying/neutering, heartworm testing and treatment if necessary, rountine vaccinations, and micro-chipping, and FOR CATS: spaying/neutering, Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids testing, and rountine vaccinations.
All of our pets listed online are available for sponsorship! Please call 901-482-9921 for more information. If you are interested in doing a fundraiser for St. Francis, please call us or email us at St. Francis Animal Rescue & Refuge. We have had several children do fundraisers for us at school and at birthday parties (they ask for presents for our dogs and cats instead of themselves). Anybody can help our rescued animals!
