St Francis Dogs Home

About MeHi, I’m Ace!I’m a typical Frenchie boy with a huge personality, plenty of sass, and lots of love to give. I love playing, learning new things, and will do almost anything for a tasty treat! Once I’ve made friends with someone, I’m incredibly affectionate and enjoy nothing more than being close to my people, whether we’re out having fun or curled up on the sofa for cuddles. I’m looking for a home that will embrace my cheeky Frenchie charm, continue my training, and give me the love and companionship I thrive on.I am currently in a one of St Francis lovely foster homes who have described me as the best boy they’ve ever had!________________________________________Home CompatibilityChildren: Older children (10 years +)Dogs: Only dog in the homeCats: No catsHome Alone TimeComfortable being left: Can currently be left for short periodsMaximum known duration: 2 hours________________________________________Training and BehaviourCar Travel: Travels well and enjoys going on adventuresRecall: No known off-lead experience.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Tan and White 3 Years (approx) Ref: DC002 Apply now Bailey is a young boy bursting with energy and enthusiasm for life. He’s looking for an active home that can keep up with him both physically and mentally, someone who’s ready for adventures, training and plenty of fun along the way. He’s a very intelligent lad who absolutely loves his food, which makes training both enjoyable and rewarding for him. Bailey thrives when he has challenges to focus on and will benefit from ongoing guidance and support from our Training Leads and Behaviourist as he settles into a new home. Bailey can struggle around other dogs and will need to be muzzled when out in public to help keep him and others safe. For this reason, he’s looking to be the only animal in the home so he can receive the one to one attention he truly needs and deserves. He’ll also need an adult only home, as he can be boisterous at times and forget just how strong he is. Despite this, Bailey absolutely loves people. He’s always happy to say hello when out and about and adores a good cuddle. With patience, understanding and the right guidance, Bailey has so much potential and will be an incredibly loyal, loving companion. If you’re experienced, active and ready to invest time into helping a clever young dog navigate the big wide world, Bailey could be your perfect match. I know how to sit (and lots of other commands too!) I could live with children of secondary school age I can be left alone for short periods I'd prefer to be the only dog in a home I'd prefer not to live with a cat I'm always on the go I love food and treats DOG Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Tan and White 3 Years (approx) Ref: DC002

Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Brindle 8 Years (approx) Ref: DW004 DW005 Apply now Meet Brandon and Rosie, an adorable pair of 8yearold Chihuahua/Staffordshire Bull Terrier crosses who are proving that age is just a number! These bonded siblings are searching for a forever home where they can continue life’s adventures side by side. Although they may be seniors, they are both young at heart and full of personality. Brandon brings the cuddles and zoomies, while Rosie adds plenty of sass, charm, and waggytailed happiness to the mix. Together, they make the perfect dream team. These two are incredibly social and would fit beautifully into many homes. They have previously lived with children and could live with kids of any age. They’ve also happily shared their home with cats before, making them a wonderfully adaptable pair. When it comes to other dogs, they’re total pros. Rosie is a polite and friendly communicator, while Brandon enjoys meeting new canine friends and often looks to his sister for confidence and reassurance. Both Brandon and Rosie enjoy their walks and love exploring the world around them. Rosie does have a wonderfully stubborn side and may occasionally decide she would rather stop for a sniff than continue the walk just yet! At home, they are almost housetrained, can be left alone for short periods, and are happy sharing everything together, even their food bowl. They’ve even travelled on buses with their previous owner and are used to travelling together in a crate. If you have room in your heart and home for twice the love, twice the cuddles, and twice the fun, Brandon and Rosie could be the perfect companions for you. I'm almost housetrained I could live with children of any age I can be left alone for short periods Please adopt me with my friend I may be able to live with a friendly cat I'm small but full of fun I love food and treats DOG Staffordshire Bull Terrier crossbreed Brindle 8 Years (approx) Ref: DW004 DW005

Well what can I say about this poor young lad!Bruno was born May 2021. He is microchipped but that’s it.We were asked by the RSPCA if we could take him on after he had been signed over by his owners who we were told were crack heads!Bruno had never been outside since a puppy so is terrified of everything and everyone. Now safely in our kennels in Cornwall, it is going to be a long and slow road for this poor lad to learn to trust and learn how to be a normal dog enjoying life but we are seeing improvements all the time.Bruno is now fully vaccinated and neutered and is accepting of so many more people and has really started to find his confidence.A very special home needed please.

“Bruno has come on such a long way he loves his walks and a game of football or playing with the hose. Bruno can be nervous meeting new people but if your calm and have cheese he will be leaning in for a head stroke.Bruno does have food aggression over his bowls and treats but only when food is in the bowl but when the bowl is empty his fine for you to pick it up. Bruno would probably benefit in a home with a older female dog.”What can I say about this young man. Born 15.8.18, Bruno is a full GSD we are told! He is microchipped and vaccinated and he is now neutered.The kennels were called asking if they would take him in as he was biting. Of course we said yes, and he arrived at the kennels quite stressed and snappy. Given a chance to settle, he started to trust the staff at the kennels and slowly learnt to trust a wider circle. Basically this poor young man had nervous aggression.Bruno has come on leaps and bounds however and is a lot more confident within himself but still takes time to adjust to new people. No young children for obvious reasons, and working on socialising him slowly with other dogs.This lad will need an experienced home that has dealt with this issue before, and with calmness and normality, he should flourish to be the lovely young man that is hiding inside.Bruno was adopted but sadly has come back to us after 18 months as he feels he is just too much due to his protective nature. His adopter has done a lot of work with Bruno and this is what he says about him:“Guards food a little, especially high value treats. Is much better once he knows and trusts you, but still guards a bit.Great with routine. Very active. Loves to play with balls over most toys. Loves a game of tug of war, but gets a bit over excited sometimes.Brilliant recall now, great off the lead (in quiet places of course). Loves rivers etc. Has a huge thing for big branches – both loose and attached to trees still.Chases squirrels, rabbits etc. Very good around deer now and will not chase them if told no.Started to enjoy some agility – especially climbing. Can get a bit frustrated when learning to climb things etc – watch out as he can mouth and nip a little in frustration sometimes.Generally very responsive to a No command in all situations.I’ve had a dog walker 2 days a week for a year now. He’s great with her letting herself in, and walks very well with her.Sits, lays, paw, kiss for treats (kisses can be a bit teethy sometimes – be warned!)Very well behaved indoors – doesn’t chew anything, no toilet issues (he’s like a camel tbh)Bruno is all about his personal space, doesn’t really snuggle. Loves to lay on the bed but bolts if you get on it. Be wary about him laying with his back to you – if you then fuss him he can get a bit snarley. If he is tired or grumpy he is also quite quick to get snarley.”Things like towel drying after a walk need to be done carefully and with rewards – watch out around his feet – he really doesn’t like that (anything to do with his feet is typically not welcomed).Muzzle him for flea, ear drops etc – that will be a battle.Overall a great, active dog who likes his space.”Do you have the experience for Bruno please who would obviously do well with a ‘job’ to keep him busy.

Bruno is a 7 year old crossbreedNo children or other pets in the home please.This boy is looking for a forever home through no fault of his own.Bruno can be a little nervous at times when people raise their voices, so would like a quiet, relaxed home.Sadly he is not a fan of other dogs when out and about on his lead.He can be strong on the lead when first going out but soon relaxes and settles down to walk nicely.In the home Bruno is a loving loyal dog.All this boy needs is someone that's home most of the time so he won't be left often and willing to give him the chilled out home he needs to relax again.Please note this dog has not been assessed by LCH and due to lack of foster space remains with owner until a home is secured.
