As Friars are Advocates of Canine Rights. We also help return lost dogs to their owners.

If you find a dog, we have a chip reader available.

We now have three rescues. One is currently trained as a Service Dog for PTSD, and another is in the process of being trained as a Diabetic & PTSD Service Dog for our friars, and finally, we have an emotional support dog all trained by one of our friars who is a Certified Dog Trainer. Most importantly, our fur babies are members of our family, well-loved & cared for.

Dogs, who give us their complete love and loyalty, should not be denied the most basic of needs, such as Security, Food, Water, Shelter, Warmth, and most importantly – Love.

While some people have dogs for such use as service & working or guard dogs, we believe one four-legged furry friend(s) should be loved as a Member of the Family, and if you are not going to do this then don’t bother to get one, because they look at us as a member of their pack – their family. And Yes, even a working dog needs love, proper attention, and special care.

We also do Animal Blessings Once a year on the Feast of St Francis (Oct 4th):
