Buddy1 is around 5 years old and this little fella has had more homes than Lassie ! Buddy has had 5 or 6 previous homes and despite this he is a loving and friendly spaniel. He does need a secure home and garden as his recall is not very good. He is quite greedy when it comes to food, and whilst loving with children he will try and steal their food ! He is fine with dogs and bitches but obviously may compete over food. He is clean within the house and just seeks that final permanent home where he will be given the love and time he needs to adjust and get his paws under the table. A real good looking and bright boy.

Barney is an 11 year old dog, he is a tall, slender dog who is looking for a retirement home.  He is becoming a little deaf but is very very fit for his age and currently has no health problems.  He is great to handle, goes to groomers and travels well.  He has  only limited experience of children and is Ok with other dogs (although isn’t happy if they are too big or pushy).  He would suit a very active older person  either with or without a bitch companion.  Barney would go on to our foster scheme.

Buddy 2 is a 3 1/2 year old castrated dog.  It is thought that at some point in his past he has possibly suffered either a head trauma or poisoning which has left him with slight head tilt.  He circles to the right and has bouts of nystigmus (rapid eye flickering as seen in dogs after strokes).  He is looking for a VERY SPECIAL experienced home where he can receive lots of time, love and patience.  Given his condition he really needs to go to a home without children or other pets.  Buddy loves playing frisbee, he has good recall but sometimes needs a hand signal so he can locate you.  Buddy would of course go on our foster scheme but potential homes must be aware that we cannot say exactly what is causing Buddys problems and they may in time get worse.

Bracken & Lucy are 5 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.

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

Fudge is a four year old working cocker who is loving and good with children and dogs.  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 consistent recall.  He is not a dog for a novice.

Murphy has proved to be a real Jekyll and Hyde.  In normal handling he is a friendly, pleasant, relaxed and always happy.  He is good with other dogs (although does try to mount both sexes).  However food/treats trigger a very different response and very aggressively guards his trophy (food).  With work this could be improved/cured and he is improving with familiarity  in kennels in kennels but he needs to go to a real “Dog” person.  He will make an active, loyal and loving dog in the right home, with someone who is prepared to take things slowly with him.  Like Moss he may be happier living in purpose built outside accommodation or utility area but again needs lots to do to keep his clever mind occupied.  He will need castrating.

Bess is an 8 year old entire bitch and sadly her owners illness means loyal Bess needs a new home.  She is a little “fatty” who needs to go on a diet and have more time spent on her than she is currently getting.  She is good with children, has good recall and has lived with a cat.  She will need vaccinations and spaying.

Alfie is nearly 2 years old and is a lively youngster.  He is used to children as he is coming from a home with young children but now due to a change in working arrangements he’s looking for somewhere else to live.  As with any young Springer Alfie is looking for a home where he can be given plenty of time and training.

Bruce is a 2 year old castrated dog.  He is very giddy and can nip when he first meets people and also wees when over excited.  He needs to get to know people to overcome this nervousness.  He has poor recall and needs plenty of socialising and training.  He is also a poor traveller so will ideally need any potential new home to be reasonably local and to perhaps visit him at his current home (Swinton, Rotherham).  He currently lives both in and out and needs vaccinations.

 

Photobucket Barney 2 is a two year old good natured little dog.  Like most young springers he is very energetic and may chew if left for long periods of time.
