I am doing this page for any NO kill Shelter that I can find that someone on CARE2 can get me information for I would like everyone to help get the word out that these beautiful angels need all the help they can get. With the economy the way it has been, they have not gotten the donations they have needed, please read about them and all the beautiful work they do through the different links that will be posted on this page.
St. Francis Animal Rescue Center They are the only no-kill, cage-free animal shelter in the county and it would bea tragedy if they had to close their doors. They are a 501c3 non-profitorganization, every donation will be tax deductible. If you'd like moreinformation, please contact the director Charlene G. Rodriguez at (803)554-9930 or email her at stfrancisanimalrescue@yahoo.com.

On March 21, 2009 someone broke into the St.Francis Animal Rescue Center and smashed in three exterior doors. Once inside, he terrorized the cats to such a degree that twelve of the most timid kitties ran outside through the smashed-in doors. They were able to find eight of them. Damage to the structure is estimated at over$1300.00. Or go to the following link to find out more : http://stfrancisanimalrescue.chipin.com/st-francis-animal-rescue-center
Straydog is a "lifeboat" (and sanctuary) for rescued dogs. A vacant spot in a kennel is an empty seat in our "lifeboat," so, if you're interested in adopting a dog, see our website "Dogs for Adoption" link, or call to inquire about dogs you may have seen recent photos of but who may not yet be included in our "Dogs for Adoption" link. And please continue to support us. We will continue to row this "lifeboat" to shore, dropping off rescued dogs into the arms of good adopters, and we will continue to fill the space left vacant by each adopted dog with another desperate homeless dog for as long as we are able to hold on (financially). We believe that the example of our sacrifice (and the example of the sacrifice made by the people running all other no-kill shelters) must be publicized to wake people up and make them aware of the necessity to SPAY and NEUTER their dogs (and cats) so that homeless dog (and cat) rescue "lifeboats" will no longer be necessary.
As I have said before this page is not about me,,, I am just someone who at the moment can not give any finacial help or even volunteer for them. I live to far away so I have come up with the idea of Word of mouth or in This instance word of cyber space, I figure the more I get their information out to the public then maybe they will get the help they need. The only link I have with this organization is that they touched my heart with their vow that " All StrayDogs are Lucky Dogs Now " Their continues sacrafices and willingness to go without so the animals they help can have a beautiful and loving place to live.
There are those who can give finacially,
Those who live closes enough to volunteer,
Those who can do neither and Those are the ones that irriate everyone else who can but don't till they do.
What Gives Me Hope
Watching all the beautiful success storeis that come out of Straydog.Inc
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
I would make sure that all the No Kill Shelters had all the help they needed.

ST. Francis Animal Rescue Center Who We AreThe purpose of The St. Francis Animal Rescue Center is to rescue unwanted, abandoned and homeless cats in the York County and South Mecklenburg County areas and care for them until we can find them homes. We are a no-kill, cage-free shelter that provides food, housing, veterinary care, immunizations and spaying or neutering for the animals in our care. We strive to find good, loving permanent homes for the almost 100 cats that currently reside at the shelter.
