Spaniel Aid

A rescue and rehoming charity for spaniels, helping them find great homes for the rest of their lives
(808)

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.

LONG TERM FOSTER STORY

Some of you may remember Dusty, affectionately known as Dusty Chops, from our advent calendar. Dusty is a member of our long term foster family and came into us at the same time as her sister, both in terrible condition.

Her lovely foster mum has written Dusty's story which we will share with you. It makes for difficult reading and some of the photos are very unpleasant but this is the reality.

The first 2 photos are of Dusty as she is now showing off her latest new jumper followed by the "before photos". Here is Dusty's story:

28th December 2023, this wee girl came to us from a life of sheer hell, she couldn’t see, had no skin on an ear and was being eaten by scabies and fleas. She had spent her life breeding, until the angels from Spaniel Aid went in and got her and her sibling out. We were ready to help get her up here with the organisation of the wonderful transport team, it was a long journey and at journeys end, we took her straight to the vet. She was bathed, shaved, given medicine and special bath shampoo.

She was diagnosed with a large mammary tumour and her teeth were rotting and full of cardboard that she was trying to eat . For a week, we took it in turns to sleep on the floor near her crate, hubby woke her up every few hours for a shower and cream smoothed on her raw body.

When she was a wee bit better she had surgery to get the teeth and the tumour away .. her wee tummy was in such a mess. The vets were fabulous with her and got her mended.

She then got a big cyst between her toes and that was more surgery, she’d had a barbed wire tether that went to the bone and was sore . Her pads are not like other dogs they never got the chance to harden up and get sore .. we asked if we could keep looking after her and the team said yes and we were assigned the lovely admin Carol, who checks on her .

Fast forward two years and she has turned into the dog she always should have been. A Diva, a cheeky chops who is spoilt rotten, she has lots of friends, some very special and a far off boyfriend ..

I would give her the moon, if it was available.

Dusty Chops , you are so special and never complain but sometimes I see in your eyes, the odd flash of a distant memory.

My eternal thanks to Spaniel Aid for all you have done for Dusty , and all the other souls 👏👏

It’s Christmas Eve, and as our advent calendar draws to a close, we’re reflecting on all the dogs who have been in Spaniel Aid’s care this year. Our Long Term Foster dogs, those who have been adopted, including new additions to our failed foster family, and the dogs waiting for their next chapter to start.

👉 Meet them here:

- available for adoption: https://spanielaid.co.uk/available-dogs/
- waiting to come into the care of Spaniel Aid: https://spanielaid.co.uk/foster-a-spaniel/

Without your generous support, none of this would be possible. So, thank you from all the volunteers at Spaniel Aid.

Our Story

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 relinquish 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.
