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.

💖 MEET WILLOW 💖This absolutely gorgeous girl is Willow, a 21-month-old Doberman looking for her forever home.Willow hasn’t had the easiest start in life. She was rehomed by her original owners to her current guardians, who sadly can’t keep her long-term.Willow is a healthy, happy and affectionate girl, who will need to be neutered. She is vaccinated. She’s extremely trainable, fast, active and full of fun! She’s both toy and food motivated, very cuddly, and a real bouncy bundle of love.She can be a little anxious at times, but she’s so clever — she can even open doors! With the right training and routine, she’ll soon grow in confidence and learn some manners to play nicely with other dogs.Her ideal home would be:🏡 Adult-only🐾 Only dog in the home (so she gets all the attention she deserves)🚫 No cats or small furriesIf you have experience with large breeds and can offer Willow the structure, time and love she needs, please fill out our adoption application form below and give this special girl the forever home she deserves. stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...
