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.

WE ARE SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE CONSTRUCTION WORK HAS NOW STARTED TO PROVIDE NEW KENNELS ON OUR SITEThe drone photos show the work well in progress. All the old buildings are coming down apart from our training barn which is the large brown building at the end of the site (shown in the first photo, bottom left). This has been a long time in the planning but to know that in a few months we will have the use of brand new, bespoke kennels for dogs coming into our care is very exciting.Although the lack of kennels has not stopped us rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming dogs thanks to the amazing fosterers that volunteer for us, the new kennel facilities will mean that we can do so much more.A huge thank you to Gregor Stevenson has kindly agreed to provide regular drone footage so that we can share the progress with you. Thank you to Bayly Builders Limited who are the main construction company and to ARK Architects? who have, and still are, guiding us through the process ... See MoreSee Less

BONNY IS SEEKING A SPECIAL HOME AND HOOMANS πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™Please read the text below carefully as Bonny has specific requirements.Bonny is a 6year old Golden Retriever female. She is looking for a rural home where she doesn’t have to come into contact with too many dogs. Unknown dogs are her nemesis and, although our behaviourist has worked with her so that she can now pass a dog with little reactivity, we are never going to get her comfortable around them.In every other way, Bonny is the sweetest girl. She loves people, amazing with children, (NO CATS OR OTHER PETS THOUGH) she needs to be the only pet in the home. She settles well, can be left for up to 4 hours with no problems. Toilet trained. Needs minimal walking - she would rather have a lovely sized garden to play in. She adores cuddles and snuggles in any shape or form πŸ˜‚β€οΈIf you are looking for a retriever that you can take to cafes and off lead beach walks then Bonny is NOT the girl for you but if you are a homely person who loves the company of an affectionate dog that enjoys spending time with you, where you don’t have lots of dogs passing your house, are happy to leave her at home when you go to busy places, then Bonny is the girl for you.If you have a Bonny type home then please apply on the link below stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...
