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.

Behind the scenes at St. Francis Dogs Home đŸ¶ What you see on social media is just a fraction of the work our charity does. Our team works tirelessly behind the scenes to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in Cornwall. We were recently called to support a young cockapoo who needed to be rehomed. Thanks to our network of fosterers, who are always on hand to help in these situations, we were able to get her straight into a new home for some TLC while we searched for a permanent family. Fast forward two weeks, and this darling girl is now thriving in her new home. Interested in becoming a fosterer?

In his original home, Herbie was chased, dragged, hit with a broom, pinned down, cornered by brooms and unfortunately, he learned that snapping was the way to keep himself safe. Our behaviourist has been working with him since he came into our care and is helping to build his confidence around people.We have to be very careful about the new home we choose for this little guy as he needs very special humans who can understand his needs and provide a home with plenty of space where he can quietly retreat when he needs to. đŸ¶ Herbie is really good on the lead, he has great recall, he enjoys the company of other dogs to play with although he can get a bit nervous of bigger dogs approaching him quickly when he is on his lead but this is something we can work on.💙 He is a very good boy at the groomers and at the vets. We have muzzle trained him just in case he becomes worried there and he happily accepts wearing it while being examined.⚟ Herbie loves learning tricks and training and loves playing ball and retrieving.đŸŸ He is house trained and good being left alone for short periods and is crate trained.The negative aspects of his behaviour are all linked to his past treatment and he needs careful handling at certain timesAfter 6pm, Herbie takes himself off to rest and doesn’t want any interaction. He needs his own space and to be left alone. If disturbed from rest, he can startle and growl, but this is much less now that he is gaining trust in people. If someone leans over him or makes him feel intimidated, he shows clear body language that he isn’t happy and can snap.Although he loves to play with his doggy pals out on walks, he will guard food and people from other dogs in his home so no dogs, cats or children can live with Herbie. He feels more comfortable with gentle calm men and women. Loud or bigger men he is sadly frightened of.đ—Șđ—Č đ˜„đ—Œđ—»'𝘁 đ—Žđ—¶đ˜ƒđ—Č đ˜‚đ—œ đ—čđ—Œđ—Œđ—žđ—¶đ—»đ—Ž đ—łđ—Œđ—ż 𝗼 đ—”đ—Œđ—șđ—Č đ—łđ—Œđ—ż 𝗛đ—Čđ—żđ—Żđ—¶đ—ČLiving with a dog like Herbie may not be easy or straightforward but we are sure the right person who will follow our lead in helping Herbie to continue his recovery is out there. Our behaviourist will continue to work with Herbie for as long as is needed.Humans did this to Herbie and we will not give up on him and we hope that special someone feels the same as we do.If you have the right environment and want to give this young boy his second chance, please complete the application below:stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...
