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.

Our lovely, sensitive boy Dexter has been in foster care for a while now and is absolutely adored, but it’s time to find him the calm, forever home he deserves.🐾 DexterTri-coloured Collie3 years oldDexter would like to be the only male in the home. He may live with an older, calm female dog, but no male dogs please.He is not suitable for homes with cats or children.Dexter is a gentle, sensitive soul who enjoys his own company and can be left for reasonable periods. He gets overwhelmed quite quickly, so an experienced, dog-savvy home is a must.He doesn’t enjoy the hustle and bustle of a busy household and would be best suited to a quiet, calm home with a single person or a couple who live a relaxed lifestyle.He doesn’t always enjoy long walks, but the presence of another calm dog could help build his confidence over time. A good-sized, secure garden is a must, in a quiet location, to help him feel settled and safe.Dexter is a very special boy who will thrive in the right environment, offering loyalty and companionship to someone who truly understands his needs.Please read all of Dexter’s criteria carefully before applying.Experienced homes only will be considered.stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/dog/dexter/#adopt ...

Thank you Bodmin Pets at Home customers! What fantastic support for St Francis with the sale of charity Gift Bags in the Santa Paws appeal. We had a lovely time meeting so many people and dogs. The gift bags have been selling like 'hot cakes' because over the weekend we had special treat for everyone who bought them, with extra goodies inside including our car stickers and home baked brownies or flapjacks for the humans as well as treats for the dogs. Great for gift packing all those hard-to-wrap toys for your pet, every Gift Bag purchased in the Bodmin store directly helps St Francis through the appeal and they are still available.Some of the dogs we met had been in the care of St Francis years ago. Milo is a 14.5 year old JRT who was just 2 years old when he was adopted by his Mum Julia. And, those two gorgeous saluki x lurchers spent some time in St Francis as very young dogs. (My apologies to their proud people - I completely forgot their names!)And big thanks to the staff in Bodmin for everything that you do to help St Francis rescue! ... See MoreSee Less
