About St Francis Dogs Home

St Francis Dogs Home is a dog rescue and rehoming centre dedicated to finding loving, permanent homes for dogs and puppies in need. Founded in 1955 by Nancy Bates and fellow animal welfare supporters, the charity was established to prevent unwanted and stray dogs from being euthanised when rehoming was possible. Operating as a charitable trust since 1961, St Francis Dogs Home has focused exclusively on dog rescue since 1999 and now rehomes up to 200 dogs each year. Supported by donations, legacies, and volunteers, the centre provides care, stability, and compassion for every dog until a suitable forever home is found.

Cornwall
SexMale
Age2 years
BreedLabrador X Rottweiler

This handsome boy is Cobi, a 2 year old Labrador x Rottie.He is neutered, and up to date with his vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.Cobi, as one would expect, is a high energy adolescent lad, so we will be looking for an experienced large dog home. He can be quite boisterous so an adult only home, or home with older children is sought.He would like to be the only dog in a home as he’s not a fan of sharing attention!NO CATSHe can be left up to 4 hours. He settles well but doesn’t like to be shut in a room and doesn’t like crates.He is very strong on the lead, and will need an equally strong, capable handler who can keep up with his training!He is house trained, and has reasonable basic commands but needs some work on his recall. He travels well in the car as long as he is not in a crate. He loves to learn and loves his training. He gets very excitable meeting new people, and dogs out on walk, but does calm down after a short time, and with proper introduction.Cobi is a really lovely and handsome boy, sociable and happy. He deserves a really lovely home where his new people will spend a good amount of time with his ongoing training.ONLY EXPERIENCED, CONFIDENT HANDLERS NEED APPLY

Short legs, with a BIG heart- here’s Rubble!Rubble is a 2 and a half year old Bulldog who is seeking a loving forever home/foster home.He is being rehomed through no fault of his own.Rubble is a young, fun loving boy, who is full of life and love. He loves his walks, playtime, and cuddles!He can be a little shy initially towards new people, but warms up very quickly with gentle handling.Rubble can be quite boisterous and bouncy at times, so he would best suit an adult only home, or a home with older children, that can manage his excitement and keep up with his training.He gets on well with other dogs, but can get a tad over excitable, and needs a little helping hand learning all about ‘dog manners!’He is sensitive to loud noises, so will need a quiet and calm household.Rubble can be left for short periods, but does cry a little if left alone for too long.If you are looking to fill a Rubble sized space in your home, and think you are able to offer him the perfect home, please get in touch by filling in the rehoming form.
