🌟Meet Freddy 🌟
8 months, Cocker x Cavalier (neutered male)

📍 South Shields
✔️ Children 12+
✔️ Only dog or can live with dogs
❌ No cats

Freddy is a gentle, affectionate youngster who forms strong bonds and loves being part of family life. He enjoys exploring the woods, and then snoozing happily beside his humans afterwards.

He’s a sensitive lad who can be unsure of new people, but with a calm approach and steady reassurance he settles well. His recall is coming along nicely, he walks to heel with a clicker, and he’s clean in the house. Evenings are for cuddles, early nights and the occasional lie-in.

Freddy needs a caring home that can offer patience, company, and continue building his confidence.

Say hello to the most handsome Teddy!
Teddy is the type of dog that is often called a 'heart' dog, as his eyes seem to be able to pe*****te right through to your very being. He is the easiest and most loving dog to have around the home. He is so good natured that he could adjust to most home situations as long as he can be with you and share time with you. Teddy is a very loyal, happy and all round good boy with the most wonderful eyes. Teddy would prefer a home with adults only and/ or some older children, along with a garden to play in and explore. Teddy enjoys his walks and behaves well on lead. Teddy is loved by everyone he meets, including other dogs, and because of his shy nature, he would like to share his new home with another dog as a companion. Could you provide Teddy with his new home?
* Age: 7 1/2 years
* Breed: Springer Collie cross (Sprollie)
* Location: New Forest, Hampshire
* Dogs: Yes, better with another dog
* Cats: Yes
* Children: Yes, 12+

Meet Lady
A Female Show Cocker Spaniel, approx. 5–6 years (not neutered)

✔️ Dogs: Needs to live with another neutered dog (ideally a calm male,)
✔️ Children: 12+
❌ Cats: No

Lady is a sweet girl who’s slowly discovering her inner spaniel. She loves exploring outdoors, her recall is improving, and she’s gaining confidence each day. She prefers quiet country walks, as busy areas can still feel a bit much, but having another dog really helps her feel secure.

She can be a little anxious with new people and situations, but she genuinely wants to be friends and just needs time and reassurance. Lady would suit a calm, steady home that isn’t too busy, with owners who can continue building her confidence.

Meet Charlie 🐾

Once Charlie feels safe he is a lovely affectionate lad who loves to be with his people – from his happy morning greetings to his relaxed evening cuddles on the sofa he's always happy to be with you. His recall and basic training are ok, although he would benefit from continued training and his new family need to be committed to this.

Charlie needs a quiet, stable home where he can settle at his own pace and build trust in his own time. He is looking for calm surroundings, with a couple of nice daily walks and lots of companionship, a home without too many comings and goings would suit him best. He would also like to be the only dog, as he prefers having his humans all to himself!

🔸 3 year old Cocker
🔸 Best as an only dog in the home
🔸 Looking for a calm but active adult only home
🔸 Currently in Norwich

October was a busy month for the volunteers at Spaniel Aid.

🍂 The autumn leaves may be falling but surrender requests are not. With over 120 surrender requests last month we have taken the difficult decision to pause our intake of new dogs, with the exception of emergencies, such as dogs arriving through vets or from the dog warden; this is not a decision we take lightly but we are almost at capacity. We rely on the support of our fabulous foster network and transport network to enable us to bring dogs into our care. If you would like to support us to be able to help more dogs:
- find out how to become a fosterer, greater numbers of fosterers means we can help more dogs: https://spanielaid.co.uk/forms/foster-application-form/
- join to find out more about our transport network: https://www.facebook.com/groups/554304062467955/
- find out more about emergency surrender requests: https://spanielaid.co.uk/forms/dog-surrender-request/

If you’re ready to welcome a new member to your family, please keep an eye on our available dogs: https://spanielaid.co.uk/available-dogs/

Our vet bills climbed slightly from last month but remain in the ball park of £40,000. We rely on your generous donations to provide emergency, ongoing vet care and check-ups for all dogs that come into the charity. You can find out more about how we use your donations: https://spanielaid.co.uk/donate/

As always, thank you for your continuing support, none of what we do is possible without you 🫶
