Rehomed

Enquiries are invited from those who have already completed CAESSR's full vetting process for Merlin.

Merlin has a full tail and is 18 months old. He is an English Springer Spaniel, liver & white and an absolutely wonderful dog. He has been surrendered through no fault of his own.

Merlin is toilet trained, travels well in the car when secured with a harness/seatbelt, and walks very well on a ‘figure of 8’ lead. He will walk at your side plus wait at the kerb before crossing, and even enjoys to jog alongside you.

He loves other dogs, but being an adolescent he is still learning to understand when the other dog has had enough of his bouncy nature. He has never been off lead, so currently has no recall. However, he will do most things for a treat or a ball so there is scope for him to learn. He is used to being allowed on furniture and will choose a dining chair over the floor! He is currently in foster and has already encountered a horse, a few noisy motorbikes, pheasants, and cats. He responded really well to them all.

He has had a vet check where he was as good as gold, and was given a clean bill of health. He is fully vaccinated and has had flea/wormer preventative.  

We will not place Merlin in a home that has any unneutered bitches resident or visiting.

Merlin needs an experienced owner who is around most of the time (he is used to somebody being home full time). His new family need to have the time and patience to guide this strong adolescent and continue helping him reach his potential.

Lola is a chocolate and tan working cocker spaniel and is five years old. She has been surrendered due to a change in circumstances at home.

Lola is a lovely dog who needs continued training to improve her lead walking and listening skills! When she first came into our care she had some very tight matts in her fur that caused her some pain which we have addressed.

She is toilet trained and has had experience of living with another spaniel, and living a mix of indoors and outdoors.

She has not been tested with cats.

She is currently in a foster home with many other dogs and has fitted in well. She loves to be fussed and is happy to share with the other dogs.

Lola finds car travel a little over exciting and will require a crate to travel safely.

Do you have the drive to help Lola improve her lead walking and recall?

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!?
