PBSF Dog Rescue

PBSF Dog Rescue PBSF Dog Rescue is a foster-based, all-breed rescue in Louisville, KY. https://linktr.ee/pbsfdogrescue Formerly called Pit Bulls of St. Francis, though.

Francis, PBSF Dog Rescue was founded by Sarah Daniel with the help of some saintly supportive friends and family. In 2013, Sarah picked up two stray pit bulls off the side of the road. She kept them in a friend’s barn until perfect homes could be found. Every day, she prayed to St. Francis, the patron saint of animals, to help find those sweet, sad, skinny dogs loving, happy adopters. Through a se

ries of fortunate events, Simon and CC were adopted by amazing people, and Sarah began rescuing and rehoming more vulnerable dogs. In 2017, the organization expanded its Board of Directors and foster network to allow us to rescue more dogs of all breeds from high-kill shelters and other high-risk situations. In 2021, we changed our name to better reflect that we do not discriminate in the breeds and types of dogs we save. We continue to pray for guidance from St. He always comes through for us.

Ravioli came to us as a stray in September. The information on his microchip was not current and despite papering the area with found signs
his current owner was never located. From the very beginning, it was clear he had once been deeply loved—he was well-mannered, socialized, and carried himself with a gentle, easy charm that made everyone instantly love him.

Before his neuter, bloodwork revealed that Ravioli was in kidney failure. Despite this, the rescue and his foster mom made a shared commitment: as long as his quality of life remained good, he would be surrounded by comfort, care, and love for the rest of his days. And he truly had all that and more for almost 9 months.

Ravioli had the kind of personality you wish every dog could have. His foster mom often told him he was her sweet prince as he was always the best behaved one in the house. He was sweet, always happy, and endlessly affectionate. He adored people, but he had a special place in his heart for children—especially his foster mom’s young niece, who quickly became one of his favorite companions.

He found joy in the simple things: neighborhood walks, time spent hanging out in the backyard, and cozy naps. He had the sweetest little quirks too—happy grunts that made everyone laugh and somehow made him even more endearing.

Ravioli may not have had a long time in this world, but the impact he made was lasting. He reminded everyone who met him what unconditional love looks like, and he left this world knowing he was safe, cherished, and deeply loved.

He was, and always will be, the kind of dog you never forget. We are grateful there are people like his foster mom who are willing to have their heart broken so dogs like Ravioli can know love and happiness however long they can.

Run free our sweet adorable prince 🐾❤️

We are heartbroken to share we had to let Ravioli go. Upon exam, it was found he had an aggressive cancer in addition to end stage kidney disease. The kindest thing we could do for Ravioli was to say goodbye. We remind ourselves dogs live in the moment and since coming to us as a stray 6+ months ago, Ravioli’s moments have been filled with love, fun and living his best life.

We believe Ravioli will be met by the dogs we’ve loved who are no longer with us and some very special humans. Ravioli mattered. May he run free; his paw prints will remain on our hearts.

We want to acknowledge and thank Ravioli’s fosters. Without them he would not have thrived and enjoyed his last few months. They gave him so much ❤️

Our sweet fospice boy Ravioli needs your positive energy and prayers. He’s at Metropolitan Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Service due to sudden bleeding from the mouth. Ravioli came to us as a stray, the person registered to his chip said they rehomed him years ago but couldn’t remember to who. Ravioli has late stage kidney disease but has been doing well until now. We know the reality but we can still hope for a miracle for our sweet boy.

🚨🚨Floof Alert 🚨 🚨

These 2 adorable floofs are looking for their forever homes! 💕

Elton (one with white) and Carlile made their surprise arrival on February 22nd. A few weeks earlier, we had taken in their mom with absolutely no idea she was pregnant. Then one day she started delivering puppies at her foster home and, to say we were unprepared would be an understatement. Adding to the chaos, mom wanted nothing to do with the puppies, so we quickly had to find experienced bottle-baby fosters. It has definitely been an adventure from day one!

Despite their rough start, these boys have absolutely thrived and are truly some of the sweetest puppies. They do great with other dogs and cats, and they’re doing wonderfully with both house and crate training.

We expect them to be large dogs (60+ pounds) and they will likely need regular grooming maintenance. Mom appears to be a herder/husky mix, while dad remains a mystery.

While they are brothers, we will not adopt them out together due to littermate syndrome. They are not bonded and are both confident, happy pups ready to find families of their very own. ❤️
