Spaniel Assist Rescue & Re-Homing
Forever Home Wanted
Name: Elsa


FOREVER HOME WANTED
I am looking for sweet little Elsa’s happy ever after.
I did the surrender myself and have to mention she did not have the best start in life.
Kept in a pen in the kitchen due to her being too excitable and racing around.
She spent many hours alone lacking in exercise, stimulation, socialisation and much needed interaction and love
She really does deserve to be happy and to be able to be a Spaniel
Please read the Foster evaluation below.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S IDEAL HOME, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WOULD HE SUIT, AND WHERE WOULD HE BE HAPPIEST. I feel Elsa would be happy in a home that is not too busy and with someone around all of or most of the time. 1 or 2 dogs, they must match her energy, she would play all day long given the chance as she is very active.
Ideally a person/s that is willing to carry on the training and taking her countryside walks, not on lead street walks
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER DOG THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED ABOVE? Elsa loves all toys and treats. She is a real foodie. She still circles but this is getting less as the days go on.
Still unsure of lots of things and sometimes cowers away. Gentle reassurance gets her through. Even although she is 3/4 she is still learning from scratch.
She will pinch things if laying around.
Loves her blanket
