Spaniel Aid A rescue and rehoming charity for spaniels, helping them find great homes for the rest of their lives
(807)

We are a group of Cocker and English Springer Spaniel owners and lovers who have become increasingly concerned by the number of these wonderful dogs being offered for sale or even worse, free to a good home, on internet selling sites. Our aim is to advise owners of the dangers of this, help and advise owners who genuinely have to re home their dogs of better alternatives, encourage people to relin

quish to rescue and take into our care any dogs whose welfare we are concerned about. In October 2016, we became a UK Registered Charity here for the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of dogs namely but not exclusively spaniels, who are abandoned, stray or otherwise in need of care and attention. We provide and assist in the provision of rescuing, rehoming and fostering of these dogs and treat and care for them where necessary. When we see a ‘free to a good home’ dog advertisement, as well as any that are £150 or less, we will email, message or call and offer to help by taking the dog in to be fostered and subsequently adopted. Some people don’t reply, some people can be a little bit rude, but there are some who are simply grateful for the help and advice and it is these that make it all worth while.

Our December roundup is here, and while it was a quieter month on paper, the volunteers were still very busy caring for all the dogs in foster, and making challenging decisions to prioritise bringing emergency cases into our care. Back in the autumn we were almost at capacity and made the difficult decision to limit our intake of new dogs to emergencies, such as dogs arriving from the dog warden; and we were in great need of more kind people to join our foster family. 37 amazing people answered our call, meaning since the start of the year we’ve been able to start bringing in the backlog of dogs waiting to come into our care. You can meet our available dogs looking for their families: https://spanielaid.co.uk/available-dogs/

Reflecting our reduced intake of dogs, December’s vet bills were lower. Did you know all dogs arriving into our care are checked over by a vet, and we provide emergency care, rehabilitation, vaccinations and parasite treatments to those who need it? Find out more about how we use your donations: https://spanielaid.co.uk/donate/

We couldn’t do this without your continued support, so a heartfelt thank you from all the volunteers at Spaniel Aid.

One of the saddest reasons that dogs come into our care is through bereavement. It often means that a dog is past the first flush of youth, and has lived for many years with one owner, building a strong bond. It is traumatic for them when that person disappears, and then they face moving to a new home. Two of our older dogs, Ted and Bran, now 10, are in this position. They have lived together all their lives, and are looking for a special home where they can stay together.
Sadly, many of are adopters are only looking to have one dog. Others look past the older dogs because they want to look forward to 10 or 12 years in the company of their dog. But we know from long experience that older dogs can have so much to give. And having a pair that are used to living together can mean all the benefits of having two dogs without having to introduce one to the other when you adopt.
Teg is a Welsh springer, a gentle dog who loves to cuddle up, and walks nicely on a lead.�Bran is a black cocker, with the extra excitability that comes with his cocker genes, and a tendency to be ruled by his stomach, but a heart of gold. He even gave the vet a kiss.
Could you offer these two lovely boys the retirement home they are looking for? They are in foster in Carmarthenshire, in West Wales, but we will consider applications from any reasonable distance, as long as you are prepared to travel to see them. No cats or other dogs. No children under 12.
Please have a read of their profile, and, if you think you could be their people, then apply to adopt them.�https://spanielaid.co.uk/spaniel/teg-sa4911-and-bran-sa4912/

Meet Bailey 💛

Bailey is a beautiful Springer cross with a gentle soul and a big, loving heart. She’s incredibly affectionate and adores being close to her people. Bailey is gentle and patient by nature, but she’s also cheeky, funny, and full of joyful spaniel-energy. Bailey loves to steal socks, shoes, and bring her toys to entice you to play with her!

Bailey can be nervous around new people and dogs at first but settles quickly, especially with treats. She is growing in confidence after recent knee surgery and will benefit from ongoing training with recall and lead walking. She would love her new family to have a secure garden, a consistent routine, have time for plenty of mental stimulation - and you must like cuddles 🏡

🔸 17 month old Springer cross
🔸 Can live with other dogs or be the only dog in the house
🔸 Can live with children 8+
🔸 Currently in Pembrokeshire

Say hello to the lovely girl, Romi!
Romi is a darling, sweet little spaniel who will need a calm environment to live with another gentle dog/s to help her grow in confidence. If Roma were placed in a dog free home, she would need to have someone around all of the time. This could be a person who is retired or can work from home, to give Romi a life where she is an integral part and can go where ever they go. Romi loves her walks especially in quieter areas with soft ground as although she coped with walking up the high street, it would not suit her as a daily event. Romi would happily welcome visiting children but not to live with them on a permanent basis.
* 8 years
* Working cocker
* No children
* Yes to dogs, but better as an only dog
* No to cats
* Located in Epping, Essex
Romi is such a lovely little girl and really deserves the best possible home where she can be showered with love, affection and be the very centre of her new owners world. In return, you will have the company of a beautiful girl who is so willing to please, is loyal, gentle and very loving.

**Now reserved**
Say hello to the gorgeous Gemma!
Gemma is a beautiful girl, with a loving and gentle nature but she does need a home where there are no other dogs, cats or children as she has only ever lived in a female, single occupancy household so will need time, patience and encouragement to build her trust and confidence. Gemma would love to be part of quiet household where she can continue to develop and learn how to be braver and relax. Gemma could live with a couple, ideally those who are home and around most of the time. Gemma would enjoy living in a semi rural area, where she can be taken out for quiet walks and not be stressed in having to deal with busy environments. Gemma bonded very quickly to her foster mum and showed herself to be a bit of a cuddle monster and when she trusts you, she has the sweetest nature.
* 3 year old Show Cocker
* Looking for an adult only home
* Needs to be an only dog
* No to cats
* Currently in Milton Keynes
Gemma is looking for someone who has the time and patience to help her manage her nervousness and once Gemma trusts you, you will be rewarded with the joy of sharing your life with the sweetest, loving little dog.

This lovely lad is Buddy, a 7 year old working cocker who's had a bit of upheaval in his life and is looking for a quiet, fairly rural home with people who understand him, and will give him time to settle. Buddy is a gentle chap, who will cuddle up to you, or relax and nap while you are working, but he can get easily worked up if there is too much going on in his world. Buddy will bark at passers-by, or if he thinks he's missing out on something, and he can get a bit dizzy, but he will calm with a soothing approach, and the opportunity to use his nose in the garden. Buddy can get very over-stimulated with a ball, and needs a home where they aren't freely available. He can share a home easily with another dog, and is fine with visiting children, but wouldn't like to live with one.
Buddy is in Epping, Essex, England
He is 7
Fine with other dogs or as an only dog
No children in the home
No cats
