Needing Homes

Teddy is a five year old red and white working cocker spaniel.

Teddy has been in foster since August where he has been having an absolutely wonderful time. He loves long walks, and is quite partial to spending time at the pub with his foster dad. He is really finding his feet and showing his truly affectionate character.

He started off a little stubborn, but is an exceptionally intelligent boy who is very responsive to training and consistency. He is learning to enjoy getting into the car, and is slowly improving his recall.

Before coming into our care, Teddy had a traumatic time at a dog sitters home and not long after, he made his feelings known when a teenager ignored dog etiquette and Teddy snapped at them (for this reason we will not place Teddy in a home with children under 16 years). We have had a behaviourist work with Teddy and his foster family to address this.

Teddy, is a wise boy who doesn't like to have his sleep disturbed, and he loves affection on his own terms. Once he knows you, you will have a friend forever with a wiggly bottom and swinging tail that rarely stops! He might even fall asleep across your lap and use his beautiful eyes to tease an extra treat from you! So remember - Teddy will need time to get to know and trust you. He is not happy to receive unsolicited touch. He is not a dog that will allow you to fuss him and cuddle him straight away - it is imperative that whoever adopts Teddy understands and agrees that contact with Teddy must be on his terms.

Teddy has a skin sensitivity that currently requires daily medication. However, it is suspected that he doesn't need such a regular dose, so with vet guidance this is being reduced on a trial basis. The upside of this is that we discovered that Teddy is rather fond of the vet and will happily allow the most thorough of health checks!

Teddy is currently sharing his foster home with two other working breed dogs and once they decided a pecking order got on well. However, Teddy is also quite content as an only dog where he can have his family all to himself - we think he would actually prefer to be an only dog! And he isn't suitable to live with a cat.

Do you have the perfect home waiting for Teddy, where you can provide him time and space to decompress when he moves in? Where his training can be continued...and he can feel safe enough to be himself and show you the wonderful boy that we have all fallen in love with!?

Simmi is a lovely red working cocker spaniel. She is five years old and her owner is too unwell to care for her anymore.

She is used to other dogs, travels well in the car, she is fully vaccinated and toilet trained.

She has exercised off lead predominantly in a large garden so might need continued lead training.

We had observed that Simmi is a very shy girl. so we are moving her from kennels to a lovely foster home. We hope to spend some time building her confidence.

Enquiries to adopt Simmi are still open, but we want to keep her under assessment for a short while.

Wiggle is a gentle working Cocker Spaniel. He is black with a small white flash on his chest. 

At 9 and a half years old he has lived with the same owner all of his life, but his owner's ill  health means he isn't getting all of the exercise that he needs.

Wiggle is neutered, up to date with his vaccinations  and flea/wormer preventatives. He is used to livestock and other dogs, although he isn't really interested in interacting with them. He travels well in the car, can be left for short periods and has reasonable recall (two blasts of the whistle) although can get distracted as do most spaniels! He was great with the vet at his health check (although he is now on a little diet, but we hope he doesn't hold that against the vet!).

Are you looking for an older chap for short walks and curling up together on the sofa?

Sporky is a chocolate brown and white Sprocker spaniel. He will be two years old in March.

He is a strong dog who has lacked sufficient exercise and training in his youth.

He loves mud, long walks and has been good in the car and at the vet.

He needs a strong and experienced owner who can help him do lots of 'spanieling' and teach him better recall and to not pull on lead.

He is full of potential in the right hands.

Can you give Sporky the forever home he really deserves?

Skye is a six year old liver and white Show Springer Spaniel. She has been surrendered along with her son Hiccup due to family illness.

They are a strongly bonded pair and our hope is that they will be rehomed together.

Skye is a lovely girl who travels well in the car, is house trained, has some recall and will walk well on lead after some initial excitement.

She is used to being the boss and spends most of the time curled up with Hiccup.

Once Skye has been spayed she will be available for adoption with Hiccup.

Hiccup is a four year old black and white Show Springer who has been surrendered along with his mom (Skye) due to family ill health.

Hiccup and Skye are currently in one of our foster homes where they are being assessed.

Hiccup's fur was badly matted and his skin was sore as a result. He was incredibly well behaved for his groom, and is feeling much better as a result. It is essential that his coat is maintained to avoid any future discomfort.

Hiccup is a typical spaniel who loves his food and will settle happily after a long walk. He is walking well on a figure of 8 lead and is ball obsessed. He loves to carry them around and is learning to drop them so you can throw it for him to fetch. His recall has potential, but is very much a work in progress.

He travels really well in the car and is good with older children.

Hiccup and Skye are a bonded pair, so it is our hope that they can be rehomed together.
