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.

PLEASE DONATE TO HELP US FUND KLAUS’ RECOVERY 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏WE NEED £3,000 TO COVER HIS TREATMENT SO FARPLEASE READ HIS STORY 🥲🥲🥲🥲www.justgiving.com/campaign/klausmedicalbillKlaus came in to the rescue in a pretty horrific condition although the extent of which was not immediately apparent.Please do not judge the previous owners. This was not intentional neglect. Klaus is 5 years old and came in very skinny, with extreme muscle wastage on his back end, his fur matted so tightly against his lower body that it was difficult for him to move freely without causing himself pain and toileting was difficult as he was actually weeing through the mats. From the front view he looked ok and was smiley and eager to be friends with you. Once in the kennel his digestive system was all over the place, he was happy to be petted front end but didn’t like us touching his back end. He hated going to the vets, which did not bode well for getting him checked out and we had no chance of grooming the mats out and making him more comfortable.We let him settle into his new surroundings for a week or two while we decided the best approach, finally deciding on a complete general anaesthetic to get rid of the old fur on his rear, x ray his hips to make sure there was nothing of concern and take full bloods while we were at it. Bless him, we had to fully drug him just to get him to the vet before they could give him the pre-meds, but eventually he went off for his procedure.It wasn’t long before the vet was calling us to say the X-rays had shown there were some foreign objects in his stomach that shouldn’t be there, likely toys that he had chewed and swallowed, and had probably been there some time, so we had to make the immediate decision to open him up to remove them. Some hours later, we collected him and returned him to his kennel. He took such a long time to come round that our staff practically slept with him until he finally stirred in the early hours of the morning. It has been a while getting him to eat again but we are starting to see the old Klaus and now that the operation site has healed, we are now doing physical therapy to attempt to get some muscle back and to help him gain some weight.He is the loveliest boy and has quickly become a firm favourite at the rescue but we know we aren’t there yet with him - he has a way to go.We now have to find the money to pay for his unexpectedly large medical bill which was in excess of £3,000 so we have set up a JUST GiVING appeal to help us cover this. Being a completely independent charity, we do not get any funds from anywhere else so appeals and collection tin shaking is sadly what we have to do.The photos show him on the operating table, the fur they shaved off him to remove the matted mess, in his kennel waiting to come round from the anaesthetic, his first trip out into the paddock with his buster collar on and what he should like like xxxxPLEASE HELP US TO HELP KLAUS - HE IS SO DESERVING. HIS LIFE SO FAR IS NOT WHAT YOU WOULD WISH ON ANY DOG ♥️♥️♥️www.justgiving.com/campaign/klausmedicalbill ... See MoreSee Less
