AGE - 6 yrs 

NEUTERED - no due to anxieties

VACCINATED - Yes

HEALTH ISSUES - small lump near his tail which has been vet checked ( no concerns )

BITE - BEHAVIORAL ISSUES - a recent visit to a different groomers when she apparently man handled and grazed him .

He is now fearful of groomers .

He was being carried when the person tripped over her table leg and dropped him on the floor falling at the side of him , he reacted out of fear and bit her finger.

CATS- no

DOGS - has lived with a female cockapoo, he is dog friendly and submissive .

CHILDREN - hasn’t lived with children but very good around friends and family children but due to his anxieties older teenagers only .

Rufus is a much loved boy but due to recent changes in circumstances he finds himself needing a loving home .

Rufus Is good on and off lead , checking that you are still around and not going too far after his first initial run .

He has good recall and always goes back to his owner .

When meeting other dogs he is interested in sniffing them but if they are over friendly he will hide behind his owners legs .

Rufus is house trained , he does not use a crate but does sleep in the bedroom on the floor , so keep this in mind as he will need to keep to this routine at least until he has decompressed and is used to his new environment . He is an anxious boy, which will need to be kept in mind, but extremely friendly.

FOSTER HOME WANTED

I am looking for a foster for Ralph , an experienced couple or a single person with a calm home , no children , or other pets .

A foster who will be prepared to work with Ralph understand his body language , give him time to adjust and understand his ways and needs .

His family really are lovely and he is a much loved boy , they contacted me today as a last resort as the behaviourist advised euthanasia which upset them greatly as you can imagine.

They feel that he should be a given a chance and we are hoping that there is the right home out there for Ralph

DOGS NAME Ralph

BREED OF DOG Cocker Spaniel

SIZE OF DOG Small cocker spaniel

THE DOGS AGE 6

THE DOGS SEX Male

NEUTERED Yes

VACCINATED Yes

CHILDREN - no

CATS - no

IS THE DOG GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS - No

AGRESSION DETAILS Ralph is not actively aggressive towards other dogs - when walking he likes his own space and we usually walk him on his lead away from other dogs.

Issues occur if another dog is off the lead and approach him quickly as he is nervous. If the other dog continues to harass him he can become aggressive.

Ralph has been socialised with another family dog who he spends time with regularly but this has been done over a sustained period of time. He is fed separately and all goods/possessions are removed.

We would not recommend that he is homed with another dog.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S PERSONALITY Ralph is a happy, playful and loving cocker spaniel, who is very well trained and obedient. He loves to keep you company and please you, however he does have a very nervous personality and has shown aggression across the 7 years we have had him.

Ralph prefers his own company, however is very affectionate and will approach you when he feels ready. Ralph loves to walk and play with his 2 owners and is always very keen to be active and on the go.

Ralph can be fear aggressive if he is startled or approached unexpectantly by new people and dogs.

Ralph has to feel comfortable in his environment and surroundings as he can resource guard and show agression when he feels uncomfortable (this is usually around food, bedtime and when he is relaxing).

Patience, love and care is needed to understand Ralph and his environment, but when you know how to manage him and read his body language he quickly settled and gains your trust - it’s important to not overwhelm and push Ralph’s boundaries.

BITE CIRCUMSTANCES

Ralph has bitten when he is fearful or in a nervous environment.

Mostly this is when he has been approached when he feels uncomfortable and has been startled, or he resource guarding.

Ralph would need someone who reads his body language and respects his space when he requires this.

HAVE YOU SOUGHT ADVICE FROM A BEHAVIOURIST / DOG TRAINER?

Yes

IS THE DOG HOUSE TRAINED - Yes

CAN THE DOG BE LEFT ALONE- Yes

Up to 6 hours a day - Ralph is very comfortable in his own company

DOES THE DOG BARK OR CHEW THINGS WHEN LEFT ALONE- No

DOES THE DOG TRAVEL WELL IN CAR Yes

IS THE DOG CRATE TRAINED- Yes

DOES THE DOG PULL ON LEAD-

No

WHAT IS THE RECALL LIKE OFF LEAD- good

WHERE DOES THE DOG SLEEP AT NIGHT? In his own bed usually in room with owners however would be fine in a different room.

REASON FOR RELINQUISHING We have owned Ralph for 7 years and he is our best friend and this makes this such a difficult decision.

As we are now expecting our first baby, although we can manage Ralph now, it will be extremely difficult when a baby comes along. This will add stress for both us and Ralph and having to segregate him would not provide Ralph will the quality of life he is used to.

As Ralph can be unpredictable we have to tightly manage his surroundings and environments.

Ralph is a perfect companion but requires someone who will provide structure and respect his boundaries.

He is very obedient and intelligent however requires patience and understanding for his behaviour.

We would recommend that Ralph would be suited to an owners who do not have children or other dogs. He is unfortunately not suited to a busy family environment however in the right home would be someone’s best friend.

Young Child and Dog free please

I am looking for a calm home for Daisy , ideally dog free but another dog in the home that isn’t dependent on their owner and is happy to have time a way in another room whilst Daisy has her own space .

Daisy will need time to adapt and decompress , this really must be adhered too as she can be very anxious .

She has been through so much in her life.

She has recently had a behaviourist assessment , and we will assign a behaviourist to you , to support ,advise and work with you .

In Daisy’s previous home since the birth of the baby , despite correct and careful introductions her stress levels were so high she just couldn’t cope any more and went for the baby on the face .

Thankfully no great harm was done but her family felt that they could no longer trust Daisy .

She went into foster where there was a resident male cocker , as her previous owner said she was better with males and with slow introductions she would be fine .

Unfortunately due to the resident dog being very dependant on his owner, giving both dogs time away from each is just not working .

Hence me having to identify another suitable foster .

Daisy loves people once she knows she can trust you but is anxious of strangers at first .

Daisy will need lots of time and reassurance to adapt in her new environment .

She is incredibly food driven which can help with training and gaining her trust.

She loves her tennis ball.

She is ok with teenagers (once she knows she is safe) but does not like toddlers or loud noises.

She will cuddle up to her favourite people and take a fuss, but she prefers to come to you on her terms for strokes and cuddles and sometimes prefers to be left alone in her own space .

FOSTER TO ADOPT HOME WANTED

Location - Cheshire WA6

Chloe is a beautiful 4 year old Show type cocker .

She needs a new home due to jealousy issues around the other resident dog.

It’s got to the stage where they dogs are living in separate rooms and it’s taking it’s toll on their owner as she feels torn and it’s unfair on both dogs .

Chloe is very jealous and wants to be the centre of attention , she craves human attention and loves to be a lap dog .

She hasn't been socialised around children and her owner feels that due to an incident in a park where a child approached her and stroked her uninvited she will benefit from a child free home .

Chloe Is very petite and stunning to look at, she prefers to sleep in her owners bed room and loves sofa cuddles .

She does pull on the lead initially which will need some work , her recall is good and she walks home beautifully on the lead.

She can be left for a couple of hours but hasn’t been left alone for much longer.

She hasn’t been spayed , has no health issues and is fit and active .

She is happy to come home and chill after a walk .

No cats

Chloe has not been assessed by Spaniel Assist .

Location - Chesterfield Derbyshire I am looking for a dog free experienced foster home. Bella (12 months old ) has been passed for pillar to post and since arriving in emergency foster it’s become obvious she has been badly treated and due to this she is reactive in some situations. Bella is a beautiful girl who will accept fuss, but on her terms. She loves a belly rub, and is becoming increasingly playful. She will now take treats - providing they are sausages! She will sit when given her food, she eats nicely and doesn't gobble her food. She has slept in a crate, and sometimes walks straight in. She is house trained, she doesn't ask to out during the day but will bark at night if she needs to go outside. She hasn't really interacted with our other dogs in a playful way, she prefers to sit with people all the time. This has, however, caused issues as she is now growling at the other dogs when they come to us for fuss. She also snapped and drew blood on one of them. Bella will let you touch her but can react badly when her collar is touched - we have made it a game to touch her neck and collar but if even the tiniest amount of pressure is put on her lead then she will show her teeth, growl or snap. We have used a slip lead on her and got her used to walking around the house and garden but it's definitely work in progress. Bella does not like being groomed - we have been slowly introducing her to brushes and combs but she makes her objections clear - her nails and fur are overgrown and her fur matted in places as we have not been able to gain her trust enough yet. Bella has drawn blood on both me and my friend - unprovoked in my case and because my friend had touched her. My honest opinion is that she has been extremely badly treated in her past and will need lots of time in a dog free, child free environment where she can learn to trust and be a dog again.
