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.

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.

Say Hello to beautiful Bella 💙We were recently called by the police to ask if we could support this very sweet girl. Bella was found alone in the house with her owner who had sadly passed away. Fortunately we managed to find a wonderful foster family who could help her adjust to a life without her owner, and so far, she's been settling in really well and we hope it won't be too long until she finds her forever home 🐶Could you be one of our foster families who support dogs in their hour of need?

From a bag of bones, to bags of love - Queenie's story 💙Our little fighter Queenie can now put her past behind in the comfort of a loving foster home. As her foster family have said "She has trained us to treat her like the Queen is". Queenie will now continue to recover with her foster family and once her body is ready, she'll be spayed and will never have to endure breeding again.The five puppies are heading off to their new homes this weekend, so look out for updates on those little rascals!Our community of dog lovers pulled together for Queenie and her puppies, raising just enough to cover the cost of her C-Section surgery.💙 Every one of you who donated to her veterinary bills - you collectively made a huge impact🐶 Thank you to the Gerrick Rose Trust for donating an amazing £1,000 towards Queenie and her pups.🙋‍♀️ Our incredible team dedicated hundreds of hours of care, rehabilitation and support to this little family - we would be lost without our amazing volunteers.You can read her full story here: www.justgiving.com/campaign/queenie ...

I’m Tez, I’m a beagle male with a social, friendly personality. I can take a little time to warm up to new people, but once I’m comfortable, I’m a lovely lad! I’ve had quite a lot of life change recently and I am finding all these changes a little overwhelming. I need a stable, understanding home with plenty of stimulation, company and enrichment. I love sniffing and all the beagley things. A home where someone is around most of the time, with plenty of enrichment and a stable routine, would be ideal for me________________________________________Home CompatibilityChildren: 12 years + used to dogs. Tez lives with a 3 year old and has a good relationship with them but we feel he now needs adult time after a period of unrest. visiting children would be fine. Dogs: Tez is good with other dogs. He hasn’t lived with another dog but potentially could with the right dog. He currently has a mix dog walk with a dog walker a few times a week. Cats: Tez has not lived with cats, so his compatibility with them is unknown.Home Alone Time: Tez is currently struggling to be left alone and has isolation anxiety. He has recently started chewing furniture, scratching drywall when left. This may be linked to the significant changes in his home life, including a new baby, a house move, a job change and ongoing renovations. He needs a home where someone can be around to provide company and support. He would suit someone home most of the day or working from home. He needs to not be left currently – Tez will need time to settle and build up home alone time again. Tez can open doors and crates, so secure management will be important.If you are interested in Tez, please fill out the rehoming form on our website: stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...

The Failed Fosterers Club 🐶💙 #fosterdogsThe term Failed Fosterer is no negative here at St Francis, it simply means that someone intended to take on a dog short-term but ended up falling head over paws for them. Doodles here was no different. Doodles was taken on as a temporary foster whilst we searched his forever home, once we found a home, his fosterers couldn't bear to let him go and decided to adopt him instead. Since then, he's lived a life full of devotion, care and love, thanks to his adoring owners.Are you part of the Failed Fosterer Club? If so, please share photos of your pet that accidently became part of your#welovefailedfosterersdfosterers ...
