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 itā€™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.Ā  It provides them with regular companionship which is an essential part of rehabilitation.

All of the pups are gaining weight, which is exactly what we wanted to see. After everything Queenieā€™s little body has been through, seeing her puppies thrive is especially important. She was underweight herself, so their progress is a huge positive step for this wonderful mum ā¤ļøQueenie continues to be an amazing mum, and weā€™re keeping a close eye on her as she recovers. She still has a journey ahead, but for now, weā€™re celebrating these little wins. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared Queenieā€™s appeal, sent messages of support or simply followed her journey. Your kindness really does make a difference.Thereā€™s still a long way to go with Queenieā€™s veterinary bills, but today weā€™re taking a moment to celebrate one very special mum and her five precious puppies.

This brave French Bulldog Mum gave birth to 5 puppies ā€” 2 naturally before needing an emergency C-section for the other 3. Her previous owner couldnā€™t afford the care she needed and signed her over ā€” there is no judgement, just a determination to put Queenieā€™s welfare first.Queenie is very underweight, and needed to be on a drip at the vets whilst under close observation. But sheā€™s a strong mother who has been putting her pups first at every opportunity. The lovely veterinary team caring for them have given Queenie and her pups the fighting chance they needed, but it has left our charity with a big invoice to be paid.We need to raise Ā£4,000 to cover Queenies surgery and on-going care and rehabilitation šŸ™ Can you support this young family on #internationaldogday?Please donate if you can, and if you canā€™t, sharing her story could be just as powerful.
