Our Services

What We Do

The rescue sector has changed massively since the Coronavirus pandemic, creating a huge impact on dogs, and their owners, whether it’s through the lack of socialisation from the many lockdowns, or behavioural issues, including separation anxiety, from having become used to owners working from home. We recognised that more tailored support and help was needed to ensure we can find dogs the correct and best forever home and we launched our fostering model in November 2022. We work with trained and experienced fosterers to look after, and rehabilitate, its rescue dogs in their home until they are ready for rehoming, through using dedicated experts and behaviourists.

Find out more about fostering with St Francis on our dedicated Fostering page.

Fostering

Our Fostering Scheme

Housing dogs in foster homes offers so many advantages over kennels.  It provides them with regular companionship which is an essential part of rehabilitation.

In one hour, our incredible supporter Paige will start trekking 3 mountains in 24 hours to raise funds for our dogs 🏔️🐶 Can you help her reach her £400 target, and maybe even stretch it to £500? gofund.me/68ca0322cPlease read Paige's beautiful story and why she's taking on this challenge:"Helping dogs in need is an absolute big passion of mine. My family and I were absolutely blessed to have both Hodor and Bella in our lives. I do not have kids myself but they made my heart fuller than I ever thought possible. They showed me what a real selfless unconditional love is. They were always there; when I had a bad day at work or I was feeling sad, they always knew and would always be there to greet you excitedly at the end of the day. They just knew how to make you smile. Their larger than life personalities cemented themselves as much loved family members. In particular I miss Hodor's little grumbles when he was hungry and Bella had a very loud confident bark like she knew she was the princess of the family that would get what she wants. Regardless, they cared about their family and they loved us as much as we loved them. We as humans truly have a lot to learn from dogs. Sadly, our Hodor (or Hodie Cauliflower as I liked to call him) passed away a day after his 11th birthday on the 3rd March 2026 after being poorly for some time. He was a very stoic boy and a little fighter. He has left a massive hole in all of our lives and he will be greatly missed forever. He really was one of a kind and I can not express how deeply we all loved him. It is still very raw for all of my family and of course for Bella who misses her brother. My family are giving her extra cuddles as we speak! I can only speak for myself but the thing that helped me was to reminisce over photos, videos and the many happy memories that we shared together. Hodor and Bella were seldom left alone. All they knew was love from the many family members and friends they had, not just in Cornwall but all across the UK. They had many adventures and many many walks in a lot of beautiful places across the UK. It warms my heart to know that they had many people that loved them. This is why it absolutely breaks my heart to know there are dogs out there who have absolutely no one or have been through such heart break and abandonment. I can not fathom it. All dogs deserve to know what it feels like to be safe, loved and to know what it is to have a home. Dogs are very special and I was blessed to have Hodor in my life and of course, our little Bella who still blesses us today. If I can help just one dog, then I would be so grateful. To Hodor and Bella, I just want to say thank you for choosing us to be a part of your pack. This is for you. ♥️"Link to fundraising page: gofund.me/68ca0322c ... See MoreSee Less

“Hello, my name is Nala. I 'm a 5 year old Husky mix looking for my forever person!stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/I am a sweet, sensitive, and loyal soul, who enjoys long walks by the coast, and spending time with the people I love. I am very intelligent if I say so myself, eager to please and always excited to learn new things. But don’t just take it from me, here’s what some of the volunteers at St Francis (aka my best friends) have to say about me:“Nala has the looks of a fluffy bear, the heart of a princess, and the energy of a Tasmanian devil. She’s an absolute joy to spend time with, boasting fantastic recall and a real love for her ball. Playful and full of character, Nala has a cheeky, mischievous side, often charging towards you at full speed before dramatically putting the brakes on at the very last second, like a true teenager testing the limits.Highly intelligent and very motivated by treats, she thrives in training and is always eager to learn. With her fun-loving personality and affectionate nature, Nala is guaranteed to keep you smiling and make every moment an adventure.”“Nala is the sweetest girl! She walks like a princess on the lead, loves a treat and is very trainable. I think she would definitely show her full potential in a forever home because she would be very loyal and loving.”“Nala is amazing on the lead, she has never pulled and her engagement is also really good. As someone who isn’t too used to walking dogs, I never felt anxious walking Nala. I hope she finds her forever home, she deserves it.”So… if you’re looking for a loyal companion, a walking buddy, and a best friend all rolled into one, I could be your girl! It may take me a little time to build trust, but once I do, I’ll be by your side through everything.(P.s I’m not the biggest fan of tiny humans or other furry beings, so I would very much like to be the only dog in the household- so I can receive the full royal treatment I deserve.) Please click on the link below to read more about me, and if you think you could be my forever person do get in touch via the rehoming form… I’ll be waiting for you with a wagging tail. 💙” stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...
