Spaniel Aid

11/01/2026

Early January at Spaniel Aid is a busy time for the adoption team, as many of the dogs that have been in foster over Christmas begin the search for their new homes. This year was no different, and there were more than 40 dogs up for adoption last week.

👉 Meet all our dogs looking for their new families: https://spanielaid.co.uk/available-dogs/

Fortunately, there are lots of great homes out there, and some really compassionate people looking to start the new year with a new addition to the family, so more than a dozen dogs are now well on the way to finding their new homes.

Some of our dogs in foster haven’t attracted as much attention as others, so if you are considering adopting this month, please take another look at the dogs who haven’t been getting quite as many applications. Some of them haven’t had any at all.

❔ What does Foster with a View to Adopt mean?
Sometimes we need to move a dog into a new home urgently.
In these circumstances, a dog may go to their new home without a prior meeting, subject to a successful home check and the payment of an adoption fee - refundable if you decide within three weeks not to keep the dog.
In the rare situations where a foster with a view to adopt (FVTA) does not result in adoption then we ask you to continue to care for the dog until we can find a more suitable home.

❄️ With the cold snap continuing, we’re sharing some top tips to keep your dog safe in the winter conditions.

- Make sure your dog is microchipped and your contact details are up to date. Ensure your dog has your contact details on their ID tag attached to their collar or harness

- If it’s too cold to go for a walk, your dog will enjoy brain games and enrichment in the home

- When you’re back from your walk, wipe down your dog’s legs, stomach and paws to avoid skin irritants and to remove grit

- Store anti-freeze and de-icer safely as many of the chemicals are poisonous. Mop up spills and be vigilent for spills when out walking

- Keep your dog visible in the dark with lights, reflective collar / harness and high-vis clothing.

- Consider using a tracker so you can monitor your dog’s location

- Ensure escapre routes are kept shut

- Snow is exciting and can create unpredictable behaviour, check your surroundings are safe before allowing your dog off-lead

Helders is looking for his forever home! 💙

Helders is a friendly, intelligent 4-year-old Cocker Cross who has thrived in foster with clear structure and boundaries. He’s made fantastic progress and is now calm in the home, crate trained, and a joy to walk. Helders heels beautifully on the lead, enjoys long walks, and is very people-focused. He’s a quick learner who benefits from consistency and enjoys having a routine.

Helders would be happiest as the only dog in the home, as he prefers human company and is largely neutral around other dogs. He suits a medium to active household and could live with children, provided there is supervision and continued guidance around his enthusiasm. Helders is settled when left alone, travels best in a crate, and will make a loyal companion for the right family.

Age: 4 year old
Breed: Cocker Cross
Can live with children 5+
Best as an only dog
Currently in Betws-y-Coed, Conwy

Lulu is looking for her forever home! 💕

Lulu is a 10-year-old Cockapoo with the most wonderful, gentle nature. She is confident, happy and incredibly easy to live with. She loves her walks just as much as relaxing at home. Lulu walks beautifully on the lead, has excellent recall, and takes everything in her stride - whether it’s countryside walks, town strolls or café stops. She’s calm, affectionate, and adored by everyone she meets.

Lulu would suit a wide range of homes and is happy as an only dog or with another calm, friendly dog. She is great with children, social with other dogs, and settles well when left alone. Lulu has mild urinary incontinence, which is very well controlled with daily medication. She’s a truly special girl who will make a loyal, loving companion.

Age: 10 year old
Breed: Cockapoo

Monty is an affectionate, playful and very intelligent boy who’s still learning. He has lots of energy and enthusiasm, which can come out as puppy like behaviour, but once he’s had a good run in a secure space he is learning to settle well and really benefits from short training sessions and mental games.

He’s looking for a calm, rural or semi-rural home with experienced owners who have the time and patience to help him reach his full potential. With structure, routine and the right guidance, Monty has all the makings of a loving, fun and rewarding companion.

🔹16 month old Cocker
🔹 Looking for a calm and patient adult only home
🔹 Could benefit from a canine role model but happy as an only dog also
🔹 Currently located in Lincoln

This handsome chap is Scotch, a show cocker who loves nothing better than to be outdoors pretending he's one of his working cousins. Scotch has great recall, and he's happiest running around clambering over obstacles, or sleeping - and he can certainly sleep. Early mornings are not Scotch's thing. He loves a treat and is very trainable, but he does get a little worried around his food bowl and his personal space. Scotch is looking for a home with some experience of resource guarding or of nervous dogs, with people who will understand that he needs to trust you before he will allow you to make a fuss of him. Once he does, he'll happily lie on your lap and accept a scratch behind the ears, but it won't happen overnight. You'll be rewarded with a loyal companion who will share your walks and sit beside you.
Scotch is 3 1/2
He needs the companionship of another dog.
He's cat friendly.
No children
He's currently in Warwickshire

Say hello to Milo 🐾

Milo is a friendly, clever boy who greets everyone with a wagging tail. He settles quickly, enjoys a good fuss and has lovely manners in the home. He’s confident with everyday noises but will be sure to let you know if something unusual is going on!

Milo knows his basic commands, walks nicely on a lead and is quick to learn, though recall will need a bit more work. He’d love a home where he can enjoy pottering in the garden, and he would love a spot on the end of the bed for a snooze.

🔷 7 year old Sproker
🔷 Could live with children 8+
🔷 Would prefer to be the only dog in the home
🔷 Currently in Warwickshire
