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.

IS THE DOG AFRAID OF OR REACTIVE TO WOMEN? MEN? OTHER DOGS? OTHER ANIMALS? HOUSEHOLD ITEMS? THUNDER/LOUD NOISES? ANYTHING ELSE? Judy is reactive to men and dogs smaller than her, she also reacts to small furies and has been known to snap at their cages, no issue with noise or thunder.

IS THE DOG GOOD WITH ALL OTHER DOGS?

Judy can be playful (on her terms) with other dogs, but needs to managed carefully as she likes to be in charge of the pack, she has lived with 5 others and at times showed real interest in playing... again on her terms.

HOW DOES THE DOG NORMALLY INTERACT WITH OTHER DOGS? In the house - can be extremely playful, sometimes a tad rough (she loves it), but when she perceives the other smaller dogs to be 'overstepping' the mark, she wants to put them in their 'place'

Outside - she's fine when dogs are at a distance, but starts reacting as they get closer to us.

N/A

IS THE DOG RELIABLY HOUSETRAINED? yes

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S BEST QUALITIES, THE THINGS THAT MAKE HER SPECIAL. Judy's smile! she's a cuddly smiley spaniel who likes nothing more than a fuss, she is very playful and enjoys being close to her people, she's happy to sleep the day away in her basket (in the living room)

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S IDEAL HOME, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WOULD HE SUIT, AND WHERE WOULD HE BE HAPPIEST. Judy's ideal home is pet free home with very few visitors (will need time to learn to trust them) a place where her interaction with men will be managed carefully and in her own time as once she trusts a male, she's very affectionate, it needs a lot of time and work, as she doesn't trust easily due to her past.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER DOG THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED ABOVE? Beneath Judy's tough exterior is a heart of gold, once you've gained her full trust she'll do anything for you, she just needs time and space, don't let the bark make you lose hope.

We believe one of the main reasons Judy dislikes visitors is because she's protecting the people she cares about, she's very loving and loyal when she trusts, we don't want to put her in a position where she over steps the mark with a visitor because she's 'protecting' us.

We believe, Judy now needs something different to what we can offer due to changes in our personal circumstances.

We recommend a female vet if possible during any consultations in order to avoid any issues.

He has never shown any aggression towards anyone but will bark at strangers.

The family feel he is currently very overwhelmed and is confused .

He has acted out of character and they are not sure what exactly happened with the carers, but it seems to be they frightened him so he barked/ growled out of fear.

He loves water, being out on walks so an active home needed.

He lives with an older dog and they are fine together .

Bobby is a lovely 3 year old springador male.

He is Neutered , vaccinated and chipped.

Bobby has lived with older children and was fine however he can be boisterous so I would be recommending older teenagers only.

He barks at dogs , but there is no aggression at all he just needs careful introductions.

Bobby has bitten once in an isolated incident due to trigger stacking by becoming stressed and he reacted out of fear.

They even said he is not an aggressive dog it was just the situation.

Due to housing situation Bobby has been spending 20 hours a day alone shut in one room.

I would imagine he was very frustrated, sad and lonely.
