SPRINGER SPANIEL RESCUE

Registered Charity Number 1068811

If you are interested in giving a home to one of our dogs please contact our re-homing co-ordinator via telephone.  To ensure that we find the right homes for our dogs we need to have a detailed discussion regarding the suitability of both the dog and the home and so cannot take such enquiries via email.

Buddy

Poor Buddy, we can’t decide if his behaviour has caused him to have lots of homes (he’s had 5 or 6 that we know of) or whether the fact that he has had lots of homes has caused his behaviour (it’s a chicken and egg situation).  When he is unsure of himself he gets very grumbly and to some people may appear quite aggressive, however he has never bitten and hasn’t ever shown any sign that he would.  The people that know him well just ignore him and carry on with what they are doing and he is soon happy again.  Most of his homes were before he came to us and on the one occasion we tried to re-home him he came back the first time he growled.  We had explained his situation in detail with the prospective owner and told them that he had had so many routines and homes he would take a while to settle in – they said they realised that and would give him all the time he needed, this didn’t happen and he came back at the first hurdle.   What he needs is a home where he is going to be given a chance and plenty of time to get used to his new routines and where someone is willing to work around problems until they are sorted.  We are all convinced that given the chance he will make a wonderful pet. And he gets on with other dogs.

Fudge

Fudge is a four year old working cocker who is very loving and good with children and dogs.  However we are almost certain he is deaf and because of this he has almost non existent recall.  Added to this he is an escapologist and likes to hunt so will need a very secure garden and unless taken walking in a secure area may need to be kept on an extending lead to ensure he is kept safe.  He is definitely not a dog for a novice. 

Moss

Moss is a dog with issues and will need a male only home with someone who has extensive experience of dogs (preferably problem ones).  Although our policy is that our dogs are to live in Moss needs to be living out (in purpose built warm housing of course).    he's quite friendly and loves walks etc.  However when in a home environment he can be unpredictable and sometimes aggressive.  He needs to be kept active and stimulated so would need a home where he can be given loads of time.  He isn’t a dog to enjoy cuddling and stroking (unless on his terms) and wouldn’t be suitable to go to a home with children, but may enjoy the company of a bitch (though would have to be kept separate at food times).  We can of course provide a much more detailed account of his life should you feel that you may be able to offer him a chance

Bracken & Lucy

Bracken & Lucy are 6 year old sisters, they are spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and are looking for a new home as their owner no longer has the time to give them that they require.  Bracken is quite boisterous and may inadvertently bowl over small children so we would suggest they go to a home with older/no children.  We are ideally looking for a home where they can both go together as it may distress them to separate.
 

Sam

Sam is a 12 year old entire male who has come into kennels due to the arrival of a new baby.  He is very active for his age and in good health.  He is looking for a home either alone or with a bitch.  He likes the bitches quite a lot so will probably need castrating despite his age.

Coco

Coco is s liver & white 9 year old and has mostly lived out, he is nice natured but can be boisterous with children (& loves to eat footballs.  Until recently he has lived with a male Labrador.  He is a little overweight but this is probably due to the fact that he has a thyroid problem, this is controlled by medication and because of this Coco would qualify for our foster scheme.

Angel & Ben

Angel & Ben are described as Angel, small and bossy, Ben larger and obedient.  They are used to children but have not met many other dogs or cats.  They are both neutered and used to travelling and the grooming parlour etc.  They are a good natured pair who are devoted to each other and will need to be homed together.

Reggie

Reggie is three years old and is looking for a new home because his current man of the house works away and the lady does not have time for both him and her 3 year old daughter.  He isn’t a perfect dog but could be given time and exercise.  He does not like to be left and will initially whine/moan, the neighbours say this stops after a few minutes and he does bark at people coming/passing the house. He can be a little nervous and although is happy for people to come to the house if they knock at the door and are then invited in, he does not like it if people just walk straight in.  He is very friendly and loving and is good with children, he just adores swimming.
