Celebrating 40+ Years of Compassion
For more than 40 years, Saint Frances Animal Center has served as Georgetown County’s only open-admission animal shelter. Caring for thousands of dogs and cats each year, the center provides critical services including low-cost veterinary care, community outreach, foster programs, and adoption services.
All proceeds from the Endless Summer event will directly support the shelter’s daily operations. This includes funding for food, emergency medical care, vaccinations, spay/neuter services, and rehabilitation for animals in need.
“Together, we can help Saint Frances Animal Center continue its mission of saving lives and finding loving homes for the animals who need it most,” said Marguerite Barr, chair of the annual Tails of Hope fundraiser which started in 2023 as part of Saint Frances’ 40th anniversary.
