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.

🐾 Meet Jack 🐾Jack is a 19-month-old Border Terrier cross who is neutered and vaccinated.Jack hasn’t had much early socialisation, which means the outside world can feel quite overwhelming for him. As a result, he is nervous when out and about and currently struggles with severe separation anxiety, so he cannot be left alone at this time.He has never lived with children.Jack has previously lived with other dogs and was fine, however as his anxiety has increased he has become reactive to both dogs and people.Our trainer has spent time with Jack and describes him as a lovely, clever boy who simply needs help with emotional regulation and ongoing training. This is something St Francis will fully support his adopter with.🏡 What Jack needs:• An experienced owner• Someone able to support separation anxiety work• A lifestyle where he will not be left alone• Commitment to training and guidance from our teamJack has so much potential and, with the right person, can truly thrive. If you feel you could offer Jack the understanding, time, and stability he needs, please get in touch.💙stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ... See MoreSee Less

DAY 4 OF OUR ‘MEET OUR FOREVER DOGS’www.justgiving.com/campaign/supportourforeverdogsToday we meet RockyRocky is a 10 year old Rottweiler who came to us via the police. He had spent over a month in a local kennel on a hard concrete floor and was due to be euthanised, We were asked if we would be prepared to take him on, which of course, we were.We immediately put him into one of our brilliant foster homes and very shortly afterwards got him vet checked. He has not had the best life it would seem and his health is not brilliant, having said that, he has improved markedly in his foster mum’s care and, despite some neurological issues with his back legs, he enjoys a short walk, lots of sniffs and meeting up with his new friends.He really is the most laid back guy and has been away on holiday over Christmas, to another fosterer, while his ‘mum’ was away and has quickly won over his his temporary ‘mum’.Rocky is the epitome of what we do. Why we shouldn’t write off a dog just because he is old, slower and has a few medical issues. Rocky still enjoys his life, he is still interested in new things and still brings joy to the people around him. He is absolutely worth every penny we have to find to be there for him for as long as he needs us and we hope you will be there for him too.Please donate a few £££££££s to support Rocky. Whether a monthly donation or a one-off, every penny helps. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏www.justgiving.com/campaign/supportourforeverdogs ... See MoreSee Less

DAY 3 OF OUR ‘MEET OUR FOREVER DOGS’www.justgiving.com/campaign/supportourforeverdogsToday we meet Peggy 🩷🩷🩷🩷Peggy who is now 5 years old, came to us in 2023 due to some behavioural issues. She is a loving girl who gets on well with other dogs, enjoys her walks, loves her training sessions, but she is quite a resource guarder, which is not unusual for a Cockerpoo if they aren’t given proper training and guidance as a young dog. Peggy has lived with her foster mum since late 2023 who has worked tirelessly on her training and has definitely got Peggy to a really good place and there is a very strong bond between them. However, Peggy can be unpredictable in what she finds stressful situations, so we would never be able to adopt her out. Her foster Mum completely understands her and it would be cruel to remove her. So, we gladly keep her as a St Francis dog and would really appreciate your help in helping us to ensure she stays where she is loved and happy and most importantly, understood ❤️❤️If you could donate the monthly equivalent of a cup of coffee to help us keep Peggy in her home, then please click on the link. We really need your help to continue to give these forever dogs what they deserve.Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😂😂www.justgiving.com/campaign/supportourforeverdogs ... See MoreSee Less

DAY 2 OF OUR ‘MEET OUR FOREVER DOGS’ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️www.justgiving.com/campaign/supportourforeverdogsToday we meet Sonny 💙💙💙Sonny was nearly 9 when he came to us in 2023 and although he was loved, his owners faced a relationship break-up and loss of the home. His then Dad tried to keep Sonny with him but conditions weren’t the best for Sonny.So, we took him on and, because of his age and the fact that he is a very large dog and their life expectancy is not that long, we decided to keep him under our wing.His amazing foster Pawrents took him on and he hasn’t looked back. He particularly adores his Dad and I think the feeling is mutual 😂Sonny is on medication for life to help with arthritis and he did have a cancerous lump removed from his leg last year so requires frequent monitoring, but, overall, he keeps very well and has definitely surpassed our expectations - thankfully 🙏🙏🙏🙏If you could donate the monthly equivalent of the cost of a cup of coffee to help us keep Sonny fit and well, then please click on the link. We really need your help to continue to give these forever dogs what they deserve. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏www.justgiving.com/campaign/supportourforeverdogs ... See MoreSee Less

🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷The first little girl we took into long term foster was MAISIE 🌸🌸Maisie is 15 going on 16 years and has been with us since 2022She lives with her fosterer and they are devoted to each other.She has been very healthy, just a touch of arthritis for which she is kept on anti inflammatory meds, and along with her routine vaccinations and flea and worming meds, she has been quite robust.Sadly, a couple of months ago, Maisie developed an ulcer on her eye. She was quickly seen by the vet and put on the relevant medication but just a couple of days later, Maisie has to be rushed to the vets as an emergency and they found the ulcer had ruptured and her eye had to be removed.Despite her age, she coped with the procedure, adapted to having only one eye and has bounced back really well.She is a happy little girl, enjoys her life and her food 😂The procedure cost the charity over £1600 so, as you can imagine, this is a huge bill for us.Routinely, Maisie’s vet bill would be around £250 per yearAny donation either monthly or a one off would help us to keep giving Maisie the life she deserves 🩷🩷TO SUPPORT MAISIE PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINKwww.justgiving.com/campaign/supportourforeverdogs🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ...
