Saint Francis Memorial Garden
Saint Francis Service Dogs is founded on the idea that the human-animal bond can be deeply enriching for both human and animal. The bond a person shares with their assistance dog is undoubtedly a special one, however there are many, many people who also experience the richness of a strong bond with their pets.
The Luke Woody Memorial Garden at Saint Francis is being developed as a place to celebrate and memorialize all human-animal bonds. The Garden will provide a peaceful, contemplative environment in which to mourn the loss of loved ones and honor their memory.
Click Here to view the master concept plan for the garden, slated to open in October, 2012. If you are interested in honoring a loved one by supporting the garden, please contact Niki Voudren at: nvoudren@saintfrancisdogs.org for more information.
