Gordon is approximately 8-10 years old and is a chocolate working type cocker spaniel. He has come to CAESSR as he was found wandering and as he was not microchipped, he couldn't be returned to his owner. Gordon seems to be a friendly dog who is clean in his kennel. He is a fit dog apart from having dirty ears that are being treated. He is looking for a loving home. Gordon pulls a bit on the lead and will need to be taught to walk in a straight line.

Ollie is a 7 year old liver & white springer. He has lived in his home since a puppy. There are four children in the home and the youngest child is younger than Ollie. Recently, Ollie decided that he didn't want to come in from the garden and his owner grabbed his collar and was bitten on the hand. Ollie has never bitten before but because the family have a young child, they feel that he needs a new home. Ollie is quite submissive when meeting other dogs. He hasn't lived with a cat. He pulls on the lead. When off lead, his recall is good and he won't loose you. He travels well in the car and can be left home alone for short periods.

Coco is a 5 1/2 year old liver & white springer. His owner now has a back injury and is unable to give Coco the exercise that he needs. He is a beautiful boy with a lovely personality towards people. He is good with the owner's young nieces and nephews but hasn't lived with a cat. He pulls on the lead and is best walked using a harness. He has been off lead to run on the beach and returns when called. However, the owner says he shadow chases - he possibly watches the seagulls. The owner says he also shadow chases in the kitchen. He is a clever dog and can open doors. He can be left home alone for short periods and he travels well in the car.

Since coming to CAESSR we have found that Coco is fine with female dogs but can be aggressive towards some male dogs. The problem could be solved with training. He will need experienced owners.
