FOREVER HOME WANTED

I am looking for Ollies Forever home.

An active home where he isn’t left for long periods.

He can live as an only dog or with another dog preferably female as he had lived with 2 before being surrendered to Spaniel Assist .

Ollie and the 2 other dogs that went into foster homes didn’t have the best life before they were rescued.

But all 3 have made good progress in foster.

Ollie is a great dog , he will still need some training but he is very intelligent and wants to please.

His foster dad is absolutely gutted as his intentions were to Adopt Ollie but due to an injury at work sadly he can’t meet Ollies needs as an active spaniel.

Please read the foster evaluation below

PLEASE IN YOUR OWN WORDS DESCRIBE THE DOGS BEST QUALITY’S AND WHAT YOU FEEL WOULD BE THE RIGHT HOME. Wow, what can be said about Ollie. He is brilliant. He is a stereo typical male ESS where he is clingy but in the most loving way. He is more than happy to play with other dogs and his tail doesn’t stop, but is really happy to see his human. He wants to please you and will hunt for items/toys by name.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S IDEAL HOME, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WOULD HE SUIT, AND WHERE WOULD HE BE HAPPIEST. Ollie needs to be in an active home where he is not left alone for long periods of time. You need to accept that he is going to sit with/on/under you at every opportunity and if he’s not sat there he is trying to give you a toy/ball.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER DOG THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED ABOVE? I am absolutely gutted that Ollie needs a home. He is the perfect loony spaniel for me but I have an injury from work and cannot give Ollie the attention that he deserves. He is going to make someone a fantastic and loyal companion. I’m just gutted it can’t be me at the moment.
