St. Francis Day Pet Blessings & Adoption Event

Events

Service Opportunities

On Sunday, October 4, we celebrated the feast day of Saint Francis, patron saint of animals and the city of San Francisco, with pet blessings and an adoption event with Rocket Dog Rescue!

We had a lot of fun with our four-legged and two-legged neighbors, and we raised several hundred dollars for Rocket Dog and for Full Belly Bus, which provides care without conditions to San Francisco pet owners who are working to prevent and end their homelessness. Everyone who donated to either organization was entered into a raffle for some fabulous prizes from Dog Gone Good, Alpha Dog Lodging, and Wags On Polk.

We were also able to send our guests home with sweet treat bags, thanks to our friends at Bow Wow Meow and Full Belly Bus!

We hope to host more events with Rocket Dog throughout the year. Most of the sweet pups who were part of the St. Francis Day event are still waiting for forever homes, so check out their website and help spread the word.
