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.

THE BEFORE AND AFTER 😍😍😍😩Quite a few people on Saturday asked me if I had some photos of how the kennels looked before the rebuild, so yesterday I sorted them out and here they are along with ‘after’ photos. Quite a difference. We are excited to be able to start using the new facilities this week for the benefit of our dogs. Thank you, again, to everyone who came on Saturday. ... See MoreSee Less
