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.

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 đŸ¶đŸ’™ #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 ...

After many months of waiting, his forever family finally came along, and since then, it's been a match made in heaven. His owners recently sent this photo they created of him, and of course, a photo of Jack sat in his favourite garden chair đŸ¶Taking on a rescue dog can have it's challenges, but the rewards are beautiful.

SADLY, TESS IS LOOKING FOR HER NEW FOREVER HOME đŸ„ČTess’ Daddy is unable to take care of her any longer. We have had her in temporary foster for a few weeks but we have now been asked to find another loving home for her.She is 10 years old, we think either a Chi Poo or Cava Poo.We are waiting for all her details to be passed to us but she seems in good health save for a little stiffness in her back legs now and again but it doesn’t stop her enjoying her walks and even a paddle in the sea.Our fosterer has given us the following details about her:Tess is a quiet, mild mannered girl who loves a comfy armchair, sitting outside in the garden and her treat ball.She is really friendly with people but we have no experience of her with children.She is looking for a quiet retirement home where there are no cats.She is currently living with another small dog so could potentially live with another older, small dog, although I think her preference would to be the only dog.Moving from her old home was quite traumatic for her and her fosterers did say that it took her a while to settle so she will require patience when she has to move home again. Her little world has been turned upside down so we are looking for someone who will cherish her and give her lots of time and love.If you think you could be the perfect match for Tess then please complete the rehoming form by clicking on this linkstfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...
