In 2013, Last Chance Animal Rescue acquired St.Francis Farm in Carlisle SC. This beautiful 50 acre farm is where we will build our dream animal sanctuary.

Established by Last Chance Animal Rescue Founder Whitney Knowlton in 2013, St. Francis Farm is a companion animal sanctuary situated on 50 acres in Carlisle, SC. This farm is home to approximately 100 dogs and 200 cats on any given day. Annually this location serves to harbor thousands of animals as they embark on their journey to find their new furever family.
Additionally there are many circumstances that may call on us to provide a permanent safe haven when a traditional home isn’t a fit for an animal; whether the reason is medical or behavioral, we believe that every animal has a right to their life. St. Francis Farm enables us to keep our lifelong commitment to those that we have rescued by having a place that they can always call home. There are so many animals that just can’t thrive in a typical “family style home” which is why a place like St. Francis Farm is so important. These are great animals!! They just require an environment that can cater to their complex behavioral challenges and ongoing medical needs.
Our goal is to address these challenges and provide an alternative situation that meets their individual needs including training and socialization as well as full access to ongoing medical care. Our hearts bleed for the senior animals that have found themselves homeless in their golden years, many afflicted with medical problems that make them harder to place. St. Francis Farm is a comforting “home environment” with wrap around porches and big shady tree’s that welcome these old friends and provide the ongoing care that they require until their time comes.
The demand for a facility like St. Francis Farm is ever growing and the possibilities are endless. We envision a sanctuary for both people and animals to connect with nature. To achieve our goals for expansion, and to provide the level of care these animals deserve, we are seeking individuals and organizations who believe in our mission to underwrite the associated costs.

Established in 2013 by Last Chance Animal Rescue, St Francis Farm Animal Sanctuary is situated on 50 acres in Carlisle, SC. Currently, the farm is home to approximately 100 dogs and 50 cats. The sanctuary was created as a safe haven for animals that cannot thrive in a traditional home. We believe that every animal has the right to life, so the sanctuary was born!

The sanctuary specializes in dogs that require an environment that can cater to their complex behavioral challenges. We also have a large number of animals with a wide variety of medical challenges and many senior dogs and cats that prove difficult to find forever homes for.

Our continuing goal is to address these challenges and provide an alternative situation that meets their individual needs including training and socialization as well as full access to ongoing medical care. Our hearts bleed for the senior animals that have found themselves homeless in their golden years, many afflicted with medical problems that make them even harder to place. St Francis Farm is a comforting “home environment” with wrap around porches and big shady tree’s that welcome these old friends and provide the ongoing care that they require until their time comes.

The demand for a facility like St Francis Farm is ever growing and the possibilities are endless. For our future, we envision a sanctuary for both people and animals to connect with nature. To achieve our goals for expansion, and to provide the level of care these animals deserve, we are seeking individuals and organizations who believe in our mission to help underwrite the associated costs.
