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.

St Francis spent Sat 5th Sept on Killacourt as part of the Big Market and end of summer event. We met a lot of people and talked dogs, all in glorious weather. A great way to spend the day! We especially featured our gorgeous Nala who is ready and waiting for adoption. She is a beautiful girl who really needs a loving home to call her own, see her details and apply to adopt her though our website page stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/dog/nala/Many thanks to everyone who came to support the rescue, donated and picked up their free car sticker. Also to Cornwall Shop Small and Newquay Town Council Events for giving our charity the opportunity to be there and Michelle Johnson for some great photos! ...
