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.

MY HEART ♥️♥️♥️******* please read the whole of his profile before applying ******This is Snuffkin 😍He is a 2 year old Labrador x Spaniel x Collie and is the same size as a small Springer SpanielHe is an absolute delight, likes other dogs, loves to play with toys, great with cats and has lived with 4, helped to raise some kittens and was very patient even when one of them tried to suckle him.He is a chilled, relaxed boy in the house, loves cuddles and great with older, sensible children. He enjoys a busy active home.He feels uncomfortable around toddlers so we are looking for a home with children over 8 who are dog savvy.Snuffkin is very loved, knows a lot of tricks and is only being rehomed due to very sad family circumstances. The family would love him to go to a home where he has people to play with and plenty of fun and activity. He rides on buses with no problem and is an affectionate boy.He will need neutering at the appropriate time.There is only one down side to Snuffkin - he has separation anxiety and cannot be left. He is ideal for a family where one person works from home or where he can go to work with them.Our behaviourist can help with his separation anxiety once he has settled in his new home.If you love Snuffkin and have the perfect home, please complete our rehoming form via this linkIf you fully meet his needs, the rehoming team will be in contact with you within a week or receiving your application stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...

Tomorrow is the Great Western Hotel Fun Dog Show held in aid of our rescue.For those that have attended the show in previous years, there will be a few changes made to take account of the warm weather and the wellbeing of the dogs.The dog classes/judging has been moved to the under-covered outside bar area so that dogs are not in the sun.There will be paddling pools for the dogs to splash around in and lots and lots of water bowls.The whole of the indoors is dog friendly and with all the doors open and being right by the sea, the breeze will keep the inside cool where they can wait until their class, humans can enjoy a cool drink and the stunning views and soak up the atmosphere.There is an amazing raffle, with great prizes so don’t forget to get your tickets.Please if you do come, monitor your dog and take advantage of all the facilities laid on for them to stay cool, however, bringing a dog is not a requirement - come along and join in the fun anyway.If you are unable to attend but want to buy raffle tickets, send me a message and I will sort if for you. ...

He needs calm serenity.He can’t live near a busy road or building works or in a home with a footpath along by the garden.He needs an adult only calm home, with no other pets as he really needs calmness, not because he isn’t good with children, but because the hustle and bustle of family life is too much for him to cope with.. He’s a friendly sweet boy and needs a very relaxing place to live.Ideally he needs a calm retired person or someone who works from home with a nice big garden who understands his need to sit and relax under a shady tree and occasionally have a top speed zoomie then rest.His stress levels are causing him to spin and tail chase so he needs quiet and calm to recover, even just for a short while.If you can provide a zen kinda life with a calm relaxing home, with a large garden please get in touch here...It’s not just Dexter who needs some help with a place to stay, there are others too but for now.. we need to find the really special someone who can step forward and provide even just a short term very calm space for him..CLICK HERE IF YOU CAN HELP stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/foster-application-form/ ...
