Needing Homes

We have an ever changing number of Spaniels in our care. The old and young, alike, are not immune from searching for that special someone to look after them.

To view a dog you must first make an appointment through the Homing Team.

 


TWIG

Twig is a black 8 year old working cocker spaniel.  He has a lovely nature and is constantly happy, with a very waggy tail.  He loves the outdoors and enjoys snuffling around when he goes for walks. He loves to run in the snow and his recall is good.  He is friendly with other dogs and is used to doggy day care. Twig gets excited when you try to put his lead on and will twirl or roll over. He loves human interaction and will snuggle up against you. He enjoys toys - especially a ball or something he can carry in his mouth. He is food orientated and will eat quickly, so a slow feeder is helping him learn to chew rather than inhale his food. He has had two homes already and has been surrendered through no fault of his own. Twig hadn’t lived indoors until he was 7 years old and is still learning about keeping his bouncing to a minimum when indoors! However, he is incredibly smart and would benefit from structured training to keep his mind occupied. Twig is crate trained and likes to sleep in his crate or in his bed. He loves car rides and will attempt to get into any open car boot that he passes! Twig’s eyes are misty given his age, but his eyesight is unaffected. He also has a low-grade heart murmur but doesn’t require any medication. He has had a full MOT at our vets and they were very happy with him. 
Can you offer lovely and energetic Twig the perfect forever home?

FREDDIE

Freddie is a four year old red working cocker spaniel who travels well in the car and has good recall. He is used to being left for a couple of hours and is used to sleeping in a crate. Freddie was originally surrendered into our care following his owners ill health and some guarding issues. He can be protective over food and doesn’t like to be disturbed when sleeping.

We have been working with Freddie and a dog behaviourist, and we were able to rehome Freddie. However, once in a home environment Freddie’s behaviour deteriorated rapidly and he was returned to our care. Further assessments have been conducted, and amendments are in place to his training. Our volunteers work with him regularly and we are seeing some progress.

Freddie is desperate for affection and loves long walks where he can sniff everything. He really deserves another chance.

It is imperative that whoever adopts Freddie does so with the agreement that they continue to work with our behaviourist. It is essential for Freddie’s wellbeing that his training is followed strictly.

Freddie will need your full attention, all of the time.

Are you the person Freddie is looking for?

REGGIE

Reggie is a four year old liver and white English Springer Spaniel. He had been left for long periods in the garden alone to avoid a younger family members tormenting him. When he first arrived with us he was 4+ kilos underweight. He has since managed to gain a healthy amount of weight, and needs a to gain just a little more.

He does pull a little on lead, but Reggie is a happy dog who enjoys long walks..

We have rehomed Reggie once, but he had to be returned. Reggie is a strong and determined dog who does not like other dogs at all. He cannot be let off lead around other dogs because he will fight. He is a compulsive humper who doesn't like to be told no.

It is imperative that Reggie goes to a home where he is the only dog and where his new family will work alongside a behaviourist to continue addressing his behaviour. He needs a big garden to run around and somebody who is home most of the time.

Reggie hasn't had an easy time so far, but he is absolutely bursting with potential.

Could you provide the special home that Reggie deserves?

TEDDY

Teddy is a liver and white Sprocker and is just 15 months old. He has been with us a short time while we worked with a behaviourist and Teddy received some veterinary treatment. We have very limited history on Teddy other than he has had multiple homes in his short life, and we believe he has never been walked off lead before. He is a very high energy boy who will need continued support from his new family and a behaviourist to help him manage his anxiety. Teddy’s anxiety led him to chew his own tail which the vet has had to remove due to the damage. He has also been castrated because his testicles hadn’t descended. Teddy is now recovering from surgery in kennels and would love to find a warm sofa to sleep on and a family that will continue his training. 

Teddy doesn't like other dogs, so must be an only dog in his forever home.

Are you the perfect fit for Teddy?

COCO

Coco is a 7 year old liver & white springer. He was originally surrendered to us due to his owner having back issues and no longer being able to give Coco the exercise he needed.

Coco was with us in kennels for a long time. He is strong, can pull on the lead and does not like other dogs. However, in our care, Coco has really increased in confidence. Our volunteers have spent lots of time with him on a one to one basis doing fun activities to stretch his brain and his paws. He enjoys searching for treats and adores having his tummy tickled! He is slowly getting better on lead, and has had great fun at a secure dog field. Having lots of stimulus and exercise, plus being recently castrated has all contributed to Coco being a very happy Spaniel.

We were delighted when Coco found a new home, and he settled in well. Sadly, three months later, Coco’s intolerance of other dogs meant that he was returned to CAESSR.

Coco has to be an only dog. He needs an experienced Springer owner who has the energy, strength and time to continue his training. He is a strong boy with lots of energy to burn, but he has shown that he is an intelligent and loving boy.

Do you have room in your home for gorgeous Coco? And perhaps access to a big secure field where he can run his paws off, and sniff to his hearts content?
