Saint Francis Service Dogs 2025 Annual Report

2025 Annual Report

PARTNERS PAWS AND Empowering and transforming the lives of people with disabilities - one dog, one person, one family, one community at a time A Powerful Connection

Jamie and Gizmo

Just like each and every one of the nearly two hundred partnerships created since Saint Francis Service Dogs began its work almost thirty years ago, the story of how Jamie and Gizmo became a team is special and unique. But while each team’s path is different, there are so many of the same threads – commitment, trust, and hope for a truly life-changing connection - that run through every Saint Francis journey. For Jamie, all of those things were realized when he met Gizmo during their matching interview last year. Jamie says, “He came over to me, put his paws on my leg and licked my face. That

is where the connection started. He knew he could trust me and I could trust him. I could see it in his eyes...he was like ‘hey, you want to be friends?’”

A message from Cabell

As I write this letter to you, we are locked in a wintry grip of sleet, snow, and freezing temperatures. I gingerly pick my way across my frozen yard. The dogs can’t run and play like they want to because it is too slick, and they are not in the least bit pleased with the bathroom situation outside - frankly, it is too slippery for all of us. In spite of these conditions, Saint Francis chugs along. There is always someone on site, so our dogs in the kennel are still fed, watered, and exercised. We tend to our staff cat, Moo Moo, scrape the driveway, and de-ice the sidewalks. Those who can come in to help, and those who can’t carry on from home to keep our work moving forward. Our volunteer puppy sitters graciously extend their time with the dogs they are sitting if they can, and our volunteer puppy raisers and inmate puppy raisers carry on their puppy training with virtual support. Board and staff meetings retreat from in-person to computer screens. We adapt, and the work goes on. Whenever the regular pattern of life is interrupted, it quickly becomes apparent how fortunate we are at Saint Francis to have you. Our volunteers are quick to lend a hand, our donors always ask how they can help, and our staff go to tremendous lengths to support our work and each other. All of you are the magic that makes this place hum.

I recently heard that James March, a Stanford University professor, said that leadership is a balance between poetry and plumbing. The poetry is the vision, and the plumbing is the practical work of an organization. You need both to make an organization successful. I don’t know of anywhere else where the poetry and plumbing feel so closely intertwined. As we look forward to our 30th anniversary, our vision of empowering and transforming the lives of people with disabilities feels as compelling as ever, and our way of doing that – with these beautiful, generous, capable dogs – is as hope-filled and energizing as it has ever been. In this Annual Report, you will get a good look at the plumbing of Saint Francis in our financials, key metrics, and charts. You will also see the poetry in the words of our partners and the stories of our dogs. As I sit with dogs at my feet, all bundled up in front of my computer, I am very clear on this: None of it works without you. Our volunteers, donors, partners, and staff are the key to the poetry AND the plumbing of Saint Francis Service Dogs. I am so grateful for your belief in our mission and your support of this spectacular, uplifting, life-changing work.

A Powerful Connection continued from cover

After easily integrating Gizmo into his full and busy professional and personal life, that initial connection has become even more powerful. “We are really close. It’s just a boy and his dog. We spend all of our time together. He travels with me all across the country, and he is always very closely connected to me. We rely on each other. He relies on me to get him through crowded situations, and I rely on him for the help he provides me,” says Jamie. Because of the highly specialized training Gizmo received at Saint Francis, Jamie knows his partner is always there to give him the physical support he needs. That sense of safety has in turn given Jamie more confidence and independence while navigating everyday life with a disability. “I have seizures. Part of his response to a seizure is that he can go get help for me either through the ‘Help’ command or he will bark until someone comes to assist me,” says Jamie. “He also can put pressure on me with his paws or be right next to me so I have something to hold and ground me through the seizure and the recovery after.” It is that constant connection - the power of their partnership - that has made the biggest impact. “I was very reliant on people to be around me to help me when I needed it. Gizmo is now that person. He is my person. He is there. He is always there,” Jamie says. In their time together as a team, the feeling of budding friendship he noticed at their first meeting has become a fixture in Jamie’s life. Gizmo, whom Jamie describes as incredibly smart and capable, can also be quite the goofball. He brings laughter and a sense of ease to the people he interacts with, making life for Jamie just that much more fun. Jamie says, “He brings a ton of joy into our lives. There is always a smile on my daughter’s face when he is around.” With each step forward together, Jamie and Gizmo’s connection deepens - building on the commitment, trust, and hope that have been part of their journey from the start. Looking ahead to the future, it is filled with possibility and the quiet certainty that they are stronger side by side.

“We are a team. There are so many challenges that I don’t understand that I am sure I will face. But, Gizmo will be there with me, and I am confident that we will be able to work through any challenges together.”

A PUP’S progress

meet Minnie!

Hi, Everyone! Ivy here! As you know, I am in the Breeding Program. I still don’t know what that means, but I love it! I am hanging out with my friends, going on walks and jogs, and generally having a great time. Eventually, when I come into heat again, things will happen. I will go on a trip and meet a new dog. I love trips! I love new dogs! After the trip, I will have puppies. I love puppies! I do not know the logistics, but I am not the sort of dog that gets bogged down in details, and Cabell says all my friends at Saint Francis will be there every step of the way. I will tell you all about it when I know more. In the meantime, there is not much to report, so I wanted to introduce you to my half-sister, Minnie, who will take over the column until my life spices up again. Here’s Minnie!

Ivy

ivy

Hi, I’m Minnie! At first, I thought my puppy raiser had a fascination with a certain cartoon mouse, but it turns out my name is short for “Minnesota,” where she’s from.

I was born in October and spent 8 weeks in a whelping home with my mom, Beatrice, and my brothers and sisters. We had it made! But, then it was time to go somewhere else to live. And guess what? My mom lives there too! Small world. I think my siblings would be jealous if they knew that I got to be with our mom, so I haven’t told them. She doesn’t have as many rules as I do. She gets to be up on the couch and the bed, so I think I should be able to do that too. My mom keeps saying something about having “paid her dues.” If someone would loan me the money, I would like to pay my dues and get on that couch! So far, I’ve been to the park, to a Saint Francis fundraiser where some people drew pictures of me, and I get to go to work with my puppy raiser at Saint Francis. They call this “socialization,” but I can’t pronounce that, so I just call it fun! I get to see some of my siblings once a week too! A lot of the time, we just yell at each other across the room and try to play with each other, but I guess we’re supposed to be learning stuff. I am learning a few things, like how to do a good sit, how to come when I’m called, and - this one is really important to my puppy raiser - how to go to the bathroom outside. My puppy raiser keeps mumbling about something called “mopping,” but I just ignore that. She’s funny when she mumbles. All in all, I’m a happy puppy! I don’t know what’s ahead of me, but I know that I’ll keep learning and growing and playing and trying really hard to remember to go to the bathroom outside. That one always gets me.

Volunteer Spotlight Beth Shearer

Saint, Ace, Axl, Beatrice, Poppy, Knox, Gus, Greta, Rumour, Sally, Joie, and Salem…

Beth says, “We never really had a passion for anything. I mean, we had hobbies and things we enjoyed doing, but I wouldn’t say they were passions until this. It was almost like a revelation for me. I was talking to someone about Saint Francis, and it hit me - this is my passion.” Their connection to Saint Francis became even more meaningful to Beth when Dennis was diagnosed with cancer. During his illness, the Saint Francis dogs in their care were small and steady sources of light. When Dennis lost his battle in early 2024, Beth knew she would carry on the work they had come to love together. Just this past fall, several of the dogs they had opened their home and hearts to graduated alongside their new teammates. For Beth, those moments make it all worthwhile. “I just can’t say enough about what Saint Francis does for the people they serve. It has made me so aware and made me realize I can do something to help someone else. It is a little part that I play in this role, but I do feel that it is important,” Beth says . “But really, I am benefitting from it too. It is nice to feel like I am a part of something. I feel so welcomed by the Saint Francis family. And it is a family. It truly is.” “That is the power of these dogs,” says Beth.

Beth and Joie

To most, that collection of names wouldn’t mean much at all. But for Beth Shearer, they are woven into the fabric of her life. They are all little hearts and souls she has brought into her home during her more than 16 years as a Puppy Sitter for Saint Francis. Beth has poured so much love into each dog in her care - trusting that every goodbye was the start of something greater. “With every dog you think - it can’t be better than this - and then it is,” Beth says. It all started after Beth and her husband Dennis moved to the area from New Jersey. Just by chance, they ran into one of our volunteers with a Saint Francis Service Dog-in-training and were intrigued. Dennis made a visit to Saint Francis, and the rest is history. “Puppy sitting was a perfect fit for us. We both believed in the mission wholeheartedly and knew we wanted to help,” says Beth. They quickly became regular Puppy Sitters - even adopting one of our Career Change dogs, Axl, who became their treasured pet for many, many years. What began as a simple willingness to help and a great way to get their puppy fix had grown into something much deeper.

Celebrating Our Past The History of Saint Francis Service Dogs

The Saint Francis Story 1996 Saint Francis Service Dogs is founded in Roanoke County 1998 Saint Francis places its first fully trained service dog 2000 Saint Francis hires an Executive Director and transitions to a professionally run organization 2003 Saint Francis moves its operations to the former Lakeland Stables property 2007 Saint Francis becomes the first service dog organization in Virginia to be accredited by Assistance Dogs International 2010 Saint Francis moves into the newly built state of the art kennel and administrative building 2011 Saint Francis launches its facility dog program and places its first facility dog 2015 Saint Francis places its 100th service dog 2021 The Draper Woody and Jo Lynn Draper Pavilion is completed 2026

With 2026 upon us, Saint Francis Service Dogs is preparing to celebrate a remarkable milestone later this year - 30 years of empowering and transforming the lives of people with disabilities. As we look ahead to what the future holds, we are also reflecting on the journey that brought us here and honoring the dedication, compassion, and community that made it possible. It all started around the kitchen table of our founder, Carol Willoughby (pictured below left). Carol lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis and had experienced the life-changing impact of a professionally trained service dog. Inspired to make that same independence and support possible for others navigating life with disabilities, Carol, along with co-founder, Sherri Spell, officially formed Saint Francis Service Dogs in 1996 as an all volunteer, non-profit foundation. The tremendous need for the specialized support that comes with a service dog quickly became clear, and Saint Francis began to grow. Within just a few years, a strategic decision was made to hire an Executive Director and Training Director, marking the organization’s transition from a volunteer effort to a professional organization. In 2002, with the generous support of donors who believed in our mission, Saint Francis purchased the 18-acre property that remains our home today. Since those early days - beginning with the first Saint Francis Service Dog placed in 1998 - we have gone on to place nearly 200 expertly trained service and facility dogs, each one changing lives in ways both seen and unseen. Behind every single partnership is a unique story of increased independence and new opportunities. Now, as we prepare to celebrate how far we’ve come, we do so with excitement and purpose. With continued innovation, the loyal support of our donors and volunteers, and an unwavering commitment to our mission, we know the future holds even more possibilities - and that our work is far from finished.

Saint Francis Service Dogs will celebrate its 30th anniversary

Bye Bye Barn

The big, old barn on our 18 acre property has been many things in many different lives. For a large part of its existence, it was central to the area’s equestrian scene as home to Lakeland Stables - where American Saddlebreds were often shown in its indoor riding ring. When Saint Francis Service Dogs purchased the property in 2002, the barn took on a new life - hosting fundraising events, puppy class, and advanced training sessions. For many years, it also served as the stage where we celebrated our new service dog teams at our annual graduation ceremony.

As our facility grew and we built more suitable places for our daily operations, the old barn became a storage space - settling into its final role. After years of quiet deterioration, demolition was the only feasible option. Over just a few days in January of 2026 as our staff watched with fascination, a crew quickly and efficiently brought it to the ground. Parts and pieces have been recycled to go on to live new lives, and the ground has been cleared and landscaped - making space for what lies ahead for Saint Francis Service Dogs.

Staff Spotlight Kari Grim Philanthropy Manager

One of the unique things about the staff of Saint Francis Service Dogs is the many and varied paths we each took to end up here. Kari Grim’s winding road to her role as Philanthropy Manager started with the study of song and, perhaps unexpectedly, led to a love of spreadsheets. For those of us who are lucky enough to work alongside her, we know that it is that rare blend of creativity and precision – part pragmatism and part passion – that brings perfect harmony to everything Kari does. Kari’s path shifted while working towards her Master’s Degree in Music Education. She realized the life she had envisioned for herself since she was 11 years old might not be the one she was meant to pursue. Taking a leap of faith, she stepped into an entirely new career, landing a role as a development assistant for a non-profit organization that provided music lessons to children at no cost. “I quickly learned the many hats you must wear at a small nonprofit, and everything kind of clicked for me,” Kari says. “I have never met a spreadsheet I didn’t like; I love synthesizing data and looking for patterns; I enjoy graphic design and writing; I have been known to throw a mean party; and most importantly, helping people, especially on a granular, community based level is something I am very passionate about.”

Kari’s multitude of talents coupled with how deeply our mission resonated with her made her the perfect fit to join the Saint Francis team in 2019. Kari says, “Over the last six and a half years, I have personally gotten to know our partners, our volunteers, many of our donors, and my fellow staff members have become some of my best and dearest friends. It is a great honor and joy of my life to work with the many donors and supporters who believe in this mission. Ensuring that we are good stewards of their generosity and belief in us is a great privilege.” Kari clearly sees the way every piece and every person - each donor, volunteer, partner, and puppy - play a distinct and essential part in something larger than themselves. It is a kind of orchestration that she helps bring together to create something beautiful. “I get to see each of these puppies grow up into smart, capable dogs. I get to meet incredible people who are looking to build fuller, more independent lives for themselves or their families. I get to see the transformation that happens when a dog finds their purpose and a person gains stability, choice, independence, and more. I get to help people make a tangible impact in the lives of these people and dogs through their own generosity and support. It is breathtaking, and I still can’t believe I get to be a part of it.”

Kari’s dogs - Ella and Louie Louie recently passed after a long happy life with Kari, her husband Nathan, and their daughter Charlotte.

Donor Spotlight Our Monthly Donors

Everything we do at Saint Francis Service Dogs is powered by the people who believe in our mission and who show up every day in so many different ways to help us achieve it. Among them is a special group whose steady commitment helps ensure our life-changing work can continue not just today, but well into the future. They are our cherished monthly donors – The Saint Francis Friends Club. It started small – with just a few people who took the initiative to set up their own automatic monthly giving through their bank or manually setting up a payment through PayPal. In 2019, we made it official, creating the Friends Club to honor their commitment and make it easier for others to give in the same way. The response was inspiring. In its first year, our Friends Club grew to 24 members, generating more than $5,000 in support. Even more meaningful? Nineteen of those original members are still giving faithfully today. Fast forward to now, the Friends Club has turned into a powerful force for good. With 87 members giving every single month, their contributions totaled over $47,000 last year. We are on track to increase that to over $50,000 in 2026 – money that goes directly to helping us place our exceptional dogs with the extraordinary people we serve. Whether the monthly donation amount is that of a cup of coffee, a Netflix subscription, or a larger gift, each of our Friends Club members plays an essential role. Monthly giving helps reduce the administrative costs of processing individual gifts while providing financial stability for our mission, programs, and services with their ongoing support. To our loyal Friends, thank you for being partners in our work. Every month, you are helping us change lives - one dog, one person, one family, one community at a time.

Thank you to our cherished group of monthly donors.

From our dog walkers to our volunteer puppy raisers and sitters, to the members of our Board, we would not be able to continue our mission without the tireless efforts of our volunteers.

The journey from puppy to partner would not be possible without the invaluable support of our family of donors, grantors, and corporate partners.

1241 donors

167 volunteers

Whether a part of our Program Staff, who work directly with our dogs, or our Philanthropy or Administrative staff, who ensure the efficiency, functionality, and feasibility of our programs, our mission would not be possible without our dedicated team.

The men in our vital Prison Pup Program at Bland Correctional provide round-the-clock care, training, and love for our puppies in their first year.
