FOSTER FAMILIES are needed for our dogs, especially for Romeo, PeeWee, and Pepper. 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.

Adoption Information

ADOPTION DAYS for dogs and cats are the 1st , 2nd and 5th Saturday of every month at Petco-Cordova at 1250 Germantown Parkway in Cordova .
Hours: 1 pm - 4 pm. Please check times as they may vary.

On the 3rd and 4th weekends, SFARR also has a CAT ONLY adoption event at Petco-Germantown at 7680 Poplar Avenue in Germantown.
Hours: 12:30 pm - 5 pm. Please check days and times as they may vary.

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. E-mail us for a copy of our adoption and agreement forms. We hold the right to refuse adoptions not meeting our guidelines. If you see a pet on our website, call or e-mail and an appointment will be made to arrange for you to meet the pet once you have been approved for the adoption. Meetings are only made 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 spaying/neutering, heartworm testing (dogs), Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids testing (cats), micro-chipping, and routine vaccinations.


SFARR is temporarily full at this time. However, if you have found a pet, please call 901-482-9921 or e-mail us at

St. Francis Animal Rescue & Refuge is 100% dependent on donations and adoptions fees. All animals are in foster family homes, receiving care and attention. New foster homes are urgently needed for both dogs and cats at this time. Monetary donations are needed for vet bills and general care of the animals, as expenses for animal care are high . We are also in great need of donations of flea prevention (Frontline or Advantage) and heartworm preventative (Heartgard or Interceptor).

Please stop by our adoption days and fundraising events to sponsor a pet or make a donation.



Volunteer Recruitment

Adoption days: Volunteers are needed to talk to possible adopters about our animals, handle the dogs and cats while at the event, and to unload and load supplies.

Foster Care: Volunteers are needed to foster an animal (dog or cat) in their home. Many of these animals are in need of socialization and basic obedience training and may have been abused in the past. The length of fostering depends on the adoptability of the animal.

Administrative: Volunteers are needed to help with public relations and fundraising activities.

Dog Care: SFARR needs help with dog care, such as walking, playing with and socializing the dogs, and giving baths.

To help in any of these areas, please call 901-482-9921 or email: stfrancisrescues@comcast.net

All donations are tax deductible. SFARR will pickup any donation.
