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.

THIS IS WINNIE. 🩷🩷🩷🩷 (VIDEO IN COMMENTS)She is an absolutely adorable, very calm and affectionate Doberman x Weimaraner Winnie is 3 years old and enjoys long walks and splashing in the water Winnie needs to find a new home due to not getting on with the smaller and older resident dog.Her devastated family have done all they can to improve the relationship between the dogs but the older dog is too frightened and the dogs are living separately in the home causing both dogs stress and confusion.Winnie gets along well with other dogs on walks and plays nicely with dogs she knows. She is not dog reactive and only has an issue with the resident dog. However, for this reason we feel it is in her best interests for her to be the only dog in her new home as she does love cuddles and affection and would not like to share her personal space with another dog.Winnie is healthy and very fit, she is up to date with her vaccinations and has been neutered.She can be left alone in the home for up to 4 hours and travels well in the car. She is good off lead but is strong on the lead so would need training on this.Winnie weighs 35kg so a suitably robust family would be required with children over 10 years old.She has not been cat tested.Her family are heartbroken as she is a very loved and well cared for girl but they are unable to improve the situation in the home and feel this is the best decision for her.If, having read Winnie’s criteria for her new home and feel that you tick all of the boxes, and you wish to register your interest, please complete our registration form by clicking on this linkstfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...

🐾 Meet Chulo & Stormi – The Sweetest Little Pair Looking for Their Forever Home! 🐾Chulo and Stormi are two adorable Chihuahuas who are as loving as they come! πŸ’• This bonded duo is looking for a quiet, child-free home where they can soak up all the love and attention.🧸 Chulo is a 4.5-year-old male with dark tan fur and a gentle soul. He’s the more reserved of the two but is incredibly sweet and just wants a lap to curl up in.🌸 Stormi is a 4-year-old sandy-coloured female and the more confident of the pair. She's full of personality and loves to play β€” especially tug-of-war with Chulo!🐢 They adore each other, love a good cuddle, and enjoy playing together. While they’re generally happy dogs, they can be a little nervous around larger dogs and may bark at new people β€” but once they know you, they’re all snuggles and affection.✨ They will come neutered, vaccinated, flea- and worm-treated, and are used to being left alone for up to 4 hours.🏑 Although Chulo and Stormi have previously lived with children, we feel they’d be happiest in a calm, adult-only home where they can fully relax and enjoy all the attention. They haven’t lived with cats, and because they love being the centre of attention, they’d do best as the only dogs in the household.πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ They’ve never been off-lead, so will need recall training and ongoing support with their confidence and social skills.❀️ Sadly, they’re being rehomed through no fault of their own. All they need now is a second chance and someone to love them as much as they love each other.πŸ“‹ If you can offer these two a loving forever home, please complete our adoption form here:πŸ‘‰ stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/πŸ“£ Please share to help Chulo and Stormi find their perfect match! 🐾 ...

DEAR SUPPORTERSFORGIVE MY BEGGING BOWL BUT I HOPE YOU WILL AGREE THAT THIS LITTLE SOUL IS MORE THAN DESERVING πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™Alfie came into the rescue this morning with his sister. To say we were shocked at his condition is an understatement.Alfie is a 13 year old Bichon Frise and has been living with his sister in a crate for 12 hours a day for the last 7 years. They both remain together thanks to our amazing foster mum.We rushed Alfie off to the vet as he was crying with pain when he came in. His skin was red raw, his eye was weeping badly and he had fleas - at least that’s what we could see😒😒Our vet has given him pain relief, antibiotics, flea treatment and a shampoo for us to bath him in daily to help his skin.We are most worried about his eyes and the vet has arranged an urgent appointment with the veterinary ophthalmologist on Monday.Alfie has no life threatening condition and we owe it to him to do everything we can to make him as happy and as comfortable as we can. He deserves nothing less having been neglected for a large part of his life. He hasn’t seen a vet since early 2023 so we dread to think how long he has been in pain.He is being loved and cared for by our fosterer who recently messaged to say she was actually crying while she was giving him his first bath because she has never seen skin as red as Alfie’s πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”I have set up a Just Giving appeal to help us pay for whatever medical interventions he needs so if you can spare the price of a cup of coffee to help Alfie, we would be so grateful.We will, of course, keep you updated with his progress. We will know more about the cost of his treatment once he has been to his eye appointment.www.justgiving.com/campaign/helpouralfie ... See MoreSee Less
