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.

🏠 George is looking for his forever home! (Or a foster-to-adopt home.)George is a 10-year-old Staffy who has come into our care after his beloved owner sadly passed away. Understandably, he has been very sad and unsettled, as he isn’t used to being on his own.He is currently in one of our very kind and loving foster homes, where he has slowly started to find his feet again and is feeling a little happier. Now, he’s ready to find his forever people! ❤️George is a sweet and sensitive soul who loves people and is gentle with everyone he meets. He enjoys following his favourite people around and having a quiet snuggle on the sofa. 🧒He could live with calm and sensible dog-savvy children aged 5+🐶He would need to be the only dog in the home🐱He has not lived with, or been around cats so his compatibility with them is unknownGeorge needs a bit of reassurance in the car as he can be vocal during car journeys, and may howl or whine. He walks nicely on the lead, but he can be fairly strong if or when he pulls, so he would need a reasonably fit and capable handler.He is housetrained, and can be left for short periods of time once he has had time to settle in to his new home. Unfortunately, George hasn’t been walked much recently due to his late owner’s poor health. Combined with his age, this has resulted in some loss of muscle mass in his hind legs. He would benefit from gentle, short but frequent walks initially to help gradually rebuild his strength and muscle tone.George also requires some dental treatment, which St Francis would be happy to cover. After going through a very sad and unsettling time in his life, all George really wants is a loving and understanding home where he can feel safe, secure and cherished, and receive the love and companionship he craves and deserves.If you think you could be the perfect match for George then please complete the rehoming form by clicking on this link:stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/adopt-a-dog-form/ ...

Sometimes we take on dogs that come from very loving homes, but circumstances mean that they cannot stay with their families 💔Willow, the Dachschund x French Bulldog came to us after her relationship with the other dog in the home broke down. We've been working hard to build our foster family network so that we can support more dogs, and thankfully, we managed to place Willow into a foster home whilst we learn more about the type of home and family that she'll need when she's ready for adoption 🐶You can see all of our dogs that are looking for homes by following the link: stfrancisnewquay.org.uk/our-dogs/ ...

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 ...
