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.

“Hello, my name is Nala. I am a 4 and a half year old Husky mix looking for my forever person!I am a sweet, sensitive, and loyal soul, who enjoys long walks by the coast, and spending time with the people I love.I am very intelligent if I say so myself, eager to please and always excited to learn new things.But don’t just take it from me, here’s what some of the volunteers at St Francis (aka my best friends) have to say about me:“Nala has the looks of a fluffy bear, the heart of a princess, and the energy of a Tasmanian devil. She’s an absolute joy to spend time with, boasting fantastic recall and a real love for her ball. Playful and full of character, Nala has a cheeky, mischievous side, often charging towards you at full speed before dramatically putting the brakes on at the very last second, like a true teenager testing the limits.Highly intelligent and very motivated by treats, she thrives in training and is always eager to learn. With her fun-loving personality and affectionate nature, Nala is guaranteed to keep you smiling and make every moment an adventure.”“Nala is the sweetest girl! She walks like a princess on the lead, loves a treat and is very trainable. I think she would definitely show her full potential in a forever home because she would be very loyal and loving.”“Nala is amazing on the lead, she has never pulled and her engagement is also really good. As someone who isn’t too used to walking dogs, I never felt anxious walking Nala. I hope she finds her forever home, she deserves it.”So… if you’re looking for a loyal companion, a walking buddy, and a best friend all rolled into one, I could be your girl! It may take me a little time to build trust, but once I do, I’ll be by your side through everything.(P.s I’m not the biggest fan of tiny humans or other furry beings, so I would very much like to be the only dog in the household- so I can receive the full royal treatment I deserve.) Please click on the link below to read more about me, and if you think you could be my forever person do get in touch via the rehoming form… I’ll be waiting for you with a wagging tail. 💙” stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/dog/nala/stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...
