Nicholas's Story

Nicholas is one of our Christmas miracle pups; his mother, now named Mia, was saved from the streets at the last minute and gave birth 24 hours later. Rescue changed her life and gave her babies the best possible start, with good nutrition and the best of care. Nicholas is the largest pup in the litter (twice the size of Gianna, his baby sister), and also the smartest. He was the first to learn to sit quietly for a treat and is figuring out house training quickly. Even though he is so young, there is something dignified about him. All he needs is a real, loving home to develop his potential. Nicholas is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations.

St. Francis Rescue, Nacogdoches, TX's Adoption Policy

We believe that the key to a happy adoption is finding the right match between a rescued pet and a new family. Each adoption follows the steps outlined below. Taking time in the beginning helps ensure that things go smoothly when the pet goes to a new home. Potential adopters fill out an adoption application as a first step. If you are interested in adopting, just fill out our online application and we will follow up with you. Our adoption committee reviews the application. If the application shows that we have found a match, we arrange a meeting between potential adopters and pets. It is very important to us that everyone, including pets already in the home, have a chance to interact with the new canine or feline family member. We do a home visit prior to adoption. If all goes well, and everyone agrees that we have found a good match, we finalize the adoption with a contract. It should be noted that an approved application is only the first step; all steps must be followed and the contract signed for the adoption to be considered complete. With the adoption contract, we ask an adoption fee of $175.00 for dogs, $75.00 for cats. All our pets are spayed or neutered and microchipped, free of parasites, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccinations. All dogs receive regular heartworm preventative. We also have our veterinarian do a final examination before adoption and provide veterinary records. On adoption, we give you the next month’s heartworm preventative and/or flea/tick treatment free.
