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.

Meet Cheslea! She's leaping out of a plane to raise funds for the dogs! 🐶 gofund.me/d85b8ce09"I’m taking on a skydive in Newquay to raise money for St Francis Dogs Home, a charity that does such important work helping dogs in need. I need to raise £300 to allow me to take on this absolutely terrifying challenge and raise money for a cause that I really care about.I’m not going to lie — the thought of actually jumping out of that plane is already making me question every decision I’ve ever made. But knowing I’m doing it to help dogs makes it completely worth it."Can you support her fundraiser?
