❄️ Keeping Your Dog Safe and Warm in Freezing Temperatures❄️

☃️With the recent temperature drop here in the UK, it’s essential to ensure our dogs are safe and comfortable when venturing outdoors. Just like us, they are vulnerable to the harsh effects of winter weather, including frostbite, hypothermia, and paw damage from ice, snow, and de-icing chemicals.

☃️Dogs lose body heat quickly, especially smaller breeds, seniors, brachycephalic breeds, and those with short coats. Providing a warm dog coat or jumper can help them retain heat when outside. Protecting their paws with paw wax or booties can prevent ice build-up, irritation from salt, and frostbite.

☃️Additionally, limit outdoor time during extreme cold and always monitor your dog for signs of discomfort, such as shivering or lifting their paws. A little preparation can make all the difference, keeping winter adventures enjoyable and your pup happy and healthy.

☃️Always rinse your dog’s paws off after a walk or even soak in Epsom salts if tender - road salt is toxic to dogs and harsh on thier pads.

Here are some of our favourite items we use to keep our dogs safe during our winter adventures:

🐾Paw Wax🐾

Musher’s Secret is an excellent paw wax, especially useful if your dog isn’t a fan of wearing boots. It helps protect dogs’ paws in the snow by forming a barrier that repels moisture, prevents ice build-up, shields against salt and chemicals, and keeps paw pads hydrated. You also add a little to your dogs’ nose, to keep it from drying out in the cold.

🐾Equafleece🐾
Equafleece jumpers are ideal for winter, offering warmth, water repellence, and breathability. They keep dogs dry, retain body heat, and fit comfortably without restricting movement. They provide excellent chest, belly, and hind-end coverage, making them perfect for cold, wet conditions.

🐾Insulated Drinking Bottle🐾
Offering a warm drink to dogs in cold weather helps maintain their body temperature, encourages hydration, provides a quick energy boost, and offers comfort. Bone broth or goat’s milk are great options to keep dogs healthy and cosy while outside.

🐾Outdoor Heat Pad🐾
An outdoor heat pad is a great winter option to take on longer adventures, as it provides a warm spot for your dog if and when they want it.

Stay safe and cosy this winter!

🐾No children under 12

🐾Mustn't be left for over 2/3 hours for the initial setting in period (2/3 months)

🐾Adopters must continue Harley's raw diet

🐾Adopters must commit to regular grooming and help him become comfortable at his new groomer

Harley is a middle aged cocker poo who is in good health and will make a super companion for someone. He is bright, active and enjoys the company of humans.

Harley has lived with very young children in his previous home and has had a visiting child in his foster home of 8 years old. We would like to see Harley, ideally placed with children over the age of 12 who understand dogs, as he has some sensitives around his paws and also likes children to play gentle with him. If you feel your home is right after reading the write up and you have a child a little younger or close to 12, please reach out and we will assess your suitability,

Harley in his previous home lived with both male and female dogs, and in the main co existed with them quite happily. However he and the other male did guard food from one another from time to time, and as such we placed Harley in a dog free home for foster. He has been very happy as an only dog and seems to enjoy getting the attention of the humans to himself. We would consider another dog, ideally female as long as the correct feeding management routine was put in place. He has not guarded any food from humans ever (or anything else) in any capacity.

Harley lived with cats in his previous home but not in foster. His foster reports that has has seen cats out on his walk and hasn't reacted, so Harley can live with cats.

Harley enjoys playing with his toys, he has really started to show his personality in foster and enjoys playing with his kong and interacting with the fosterer and his visiting son.

Harley was anxious at first when being left, but with his crate training, which is progressing really well, he has been left in his crate, with the TV on and his kong for up to three hours. The fosterer has a camera and states he barks periodically but not all the time. Harley will need reassurance in his new home that his new owners are coming back, and continue the work to decrease his anxieties about being left. The fosterer has had to use doggie daycare on occasion and he enjoys it and is happier to go there than be left for longer than 3 hours.

Harley is neutral on his walks towards dogs. Generally he will choose to ignore them but is happy to meet and say hello when they come say hello. He is very sociable with humans, opting to go and say hello more when out and about. He enjoys a stroke from strangers. He doesn't bark at dogs or people when out.

Harley enjoys his raw food, having 2 x meals of 200g per day. Harley has potentially some environmental or food allergies, his previous owners controlled them by non prescription anti histamines. Any itching seems to start in his paws or ears. It is however low grade and seems very manageable. As a rescue, we have a lot of experience within the team regarding allergies, the vet prescribed a short course of Apoquel to settle him whilst he transitioned to his new foster home, it remains to be seen if this needs to be a permanent treatment, however as a rescue we would like to work through an elimination diet and a programme of cleaning off his paws after walks, to see if it could be managed holistically before committing to Aquopel, Cytopoint or Anti histamines on a regular basis.

Harley will have his paws wiped after each walk, but one day when they were sore he retreated to his crate to avoid having them cleaned and checked more in depth and when the fosterer went to handle in paw in more detail he showed intent to nip him. He retreated to his crate to demonstrate he wasn't comfortable, so warnings as this should be heeded, and adopters should work to understand his signs when perhaps he is less comfortable or sore. He has had his nails clipped at the vets without issue, however he was muzzled.

Harley enjoys a hour walk daily in foster, where he is allowed to sniff and enjoy his surroundings. He walks fantastically on the lead and his harness and is a pleasure to walk. He isn't off his lead in foster, but when tested securely indicates equally excellent recall.

Harley being a cockerpoo does need regular grooming, on approx six weekly intervals. He hasn't need to be groomed in foster as his previous owner ensured he was close cut before he came into foster. He does need to be muzzled whilst grooming, he doesn't like his back legs being clipped. He is fully comfortable & trained wearing a soft muzzle and his previous owner has shared his previous groomers details who would be happy to advise what methods suit them best, to make the transition to a new groomer as seamless as possible.

Our fosterer has really enjoyed having Harley in his care over the festive period and describes him as a kind, gentle lovable boy. Unfortunately unexpected changes to his working hours (hence doggie daycare) mean he isn't able to adopt Harley permanently, but otherwise said he would be a fantastic addition to any home. To sum up Harley needs love, care, companionship and someone who will give him a little time and patience to understand his little quirks and allergies.

If you'd like to make the handsome Harley part of your family, please fill in his application form. Thank you!

Description:

Meet Bertie, a handsome 2 year old working cocker, looking for a spot on your sofa, with someone who has experience with lively demanding spaniels! He is very high energy and his current owners can't offer him what he needs in terms of walks and training, so we hope someone who has experience in the working breed would open their hearts & homes to him

Bertie lives with children, and is happy to be in their company so we are happy for him to live with children over 12.

Bertie lives with a large breed older male, who he gets along well with. He is still very energetic and bouncy and a resident dog would need to be tolerant of him, should he be excitable and overly playful.

Bertie hasn't lived with cats, so we wouldn't place him with them. If he sees them out of the home he shows intent to chase them.

Bertie isn't getting regular walks currently and previously had 3 x 20 min lead walks daily. Bertie has a high prey drive so would be off chasing every bird and squirrel he saw, so recall training will be required and undoubtedly would benefit from activities like scent work or agility to refocus his drive. His lead training will also need work, he pulls on his no pull harness.

Bertie is crate trained, he is in his crate for long periods during the day. We have seen this previously with dogs and it has been a tenacious task to transition the dog to settle out of the crate as it is often the case that they have set associations of being out the crate with overly excitable behaviours which has bubble over quickly to overstimulation. We can support fosterers with tools and tips to ensure good practices are started from the beginning to make a positive change for Bertie as he transitions in to his new environment.

Bertie is a very lively young working cocker spaniel, he is bright and will need his mind stimulating. An experienced foster will be able to channel this positively so he can learn to use his brain and also switch it off. He is not a dog who can just have a ball thrown constantly for him as it won't tire him out, he will only seek to look for more and more!

Bertie is based in Surrey (Guildford area) and and potential fosterer would need to travel to meet & collect him,

If you feel you can help Bertie please drop us a PM, the foster period is a minimum of three weeks. As with any foster period the first few weeks can often feel hectic and sometimes stressful whilst the dog settles in. Giving priority to the dogs needs, sometimes over your own in these early days is what these dogs need in order to settle and flourish in their new environment. With time and patience, by the end of the three week foster period the dog usually is very settled and ready for adoption (which can be within the foster home if the fit is good for both fosterer and dog)

Behavioural Issues: Nervousness & Anxiety
Medical Issues: None known

Description:

Spark is a beautiful kind hearted cocker spaniel who does need a patient and experienced home who understands and can manage nervousness in dogs and how it can manifest itself.

Spark has been in our care now for 3 months, He faired really well in his initial foster home, where his fosterers where very careful who he met (dogs and people) and what he was exposed to, but overall enjoyed a fairly steady 6 weeks with him where he was often off his lead and accepted some strangers into the home.

He moved into his new home, which was foster with a view to adopt and didn't settle in the environment at all well. A less experienced couple, who ultimately found his reactivity towards strangers and dogs overwhelming and felt they couldn't give him what they had hoped. They didn't feel they could keep him over the festive period, as the household was too busy and despite our best efforts, we had no Christmas placement for him, so he has been in some kennels for the last fortnight who we work with.

This has actually turned out to be a good move for Spark and has allowed him to be assessed by an experienced handler who understands the breed. She hasn't had any issues with Spark in the kennels, whilst there is a difference from kennel life to home life, we feel that her assessment as a handler, will help us find the right home for Spark, he so desperately deserves.

She feels Spark needs a good, experienced handler, who understands nervousness in the breed and one who is confident to desensitise him when introducing new people. She starts with engaging with him in the paddock and as soon as he sees someone new come into the area, she praises him and rewards him - then continues the play engagement. She ask new people to ignore him until he goes to them and make sure they have cheese to reward him when he goes for a sniff, but still no interactions. Then she would usually start the engagement with asking the person to join ball play with the two of them. Following this method she has had no reactivity at all. This is all outside and there may be a second stage on top of this that needs to be layered on inside of the home. She hasn't asked anyone to approach in his kennel , as this is his safe space, and as such, he would need to have a safe space replicated within the home.

This won't be a quick fix in a couple of days or weeks, it will be a lot of repetition of the same rewards and desensitisations, until you start to see any changes in Spark. He's a longer term project than some dogs that come into us.

Once settled with a new owner and some trust has been built it is possible we could explore doing some 'work' with him, as she also feels he would thrive on having a job to do. There will be a lot of steps prior to this but certainly a goal to aim for.

He hasn't mixed with dogs in the kennels, but he often sees them in the paddock next to him and ignore them, so it is reasonable to assume his reactivity is fear based, when he has had lead reactivity towards dogs he met in foster occasionally. Space is Sparks friend.

Spark needs a calm, quiet home, with rural walks and a place where not too much is asked of him in terms to guests to the home and meetings out and about. Someone who recognises the behaviour before it starts and redirects him and gives him confidence to make the right choices.

Can you help? We are looking for a foster home who have a long term interest in adoption of Spark and we will back it up with behavioural support where needed.

If you can help, please do PM or email us, we really want to help Spark, we know the right home is there somewhere.

🌟Adoption Criteria🌟

🐾No children under 12

🐾At least one member of the home must not be in full time work

🐾Mustn't be left for over 2 hours for the initial setting in period (2/3 months)

🐾A secure garden with fencing over 5ft

🐾Time to dedicate to Alfie's development and training, akin to investment in a puppy.

Alfie is a young working cocker x sprocker boy who is super cute and looking for his adoptive home now, after being in foster for a month. In foster he hasn't stepped a paw wrong, whoever adopts Alfie will be very lucky to have such a wonderful dog to welcome into their lives.

Alfie hasn't lived with children in foster or in his previous home, his fosterers see no reason why he couldn't live with children due to his friendly disposition. We would be happy to place him with children 12 plus, who have lived with dogs previously.

Alfie lives in foster with 2 dogs and lived with 3 dogs in his previous home, he is only young, and therefore quite a live wire, so he would need to be placed with dogs who are tolerant of younger dogs, as Alfie does display puppy tendencies still. He is happy to share toys but sometimes can sn**ch them off the resident dogs, again the fosterer doesn't consider it in anyway aggressive, but the resident dog, would have to exercise tolerance, whilst Alfie sharpens his manners up in such areas.

Alfie has also met dogs outside the home and is happy to meet and greet, he can occasionally be timid to begin with towards new dogs.

Alfie hasn't lived with cats in foster, but lived with them previously. He would be happy to live with cats who have lived with dogs previously. Alfie came into foster with the other dogs in the home who have been placed with cats successfully, so we feel confident putting him in the company of cats..

Alfie enjoys games which involve a tug toy especially. He enjoys games and playing, but the dogs he is with in foster are of a calm disposition and respects their desire not to play all the time and has learnt to settle from them.

Alfie does have some signs of seperation anxiety when left in the home, it is not to excessive levels, and he is left toys, but he is not a dog who could be left on a daily basis from day one, this will need to be worked on and may require some patience. At least in the early months of adoption, Alfies ideal home would have some who is around most of the time and could build up leaving him for short periods along side the natural growth in his confidence levels in his new home.

Alfie can be timid, sometimes nervous when meeting new dogs, and people both outside or coming into his home. Again, Alfie is not showing signs of being an excessively anxious or nervous dog and at only 10 months old, he will learn and can be moulded as his confidence grows.

Alfie can sn**ch treats and has been snappy to take them on occasion, and does look to steal food off work surfaces. His fosterer has ensured he hasn't had opportunity to steal food or counter surf, but without management and training in the area, he may be an opportunist to try steal items off the worktops.

Alfie walks nicely on his collar and lead for the fosterer, and it is noted he will pull more in the company of the other dogs. He has been taken to social settings such as the pub and was comfortable and happy to visit. His recall hasn't been fully tested and will need work before allowing him off the lead in public areas, Alfie has shown a prey interest towards birds and had a successful catch in the garden before the fosterer intervened and saved the bird.

Alfie is young and bouncy, he would be happy to live with another dog, as he is entire himself, bi***es would need to be spayed. He also equally loves his people in the home and looks to them for playtime and affection. He brings his fosterer shoes, flip flops and slippers, but doesn't look to guard anything – it is purely to initiate play and interactions with humans.

His fosterer's have enjoyed welcoming him into their home, and he has been very friendly towards the dogs and the young adults in the home.

Alfie wasn't housetrained upon going into foster but he now isn't having any accidents in the home. His adopters would need to be mindful his housetraining is still relatively new and will need to be vigilant to set good habits going into his new home and will benefit from being taken out for toilet regularly, especially to begin with.

If you'd like to make the handsome Alfie part of your family, please fill in his application form.

💙Thankyou!💙

Meet the gorgeous, elegant & loving saluki, Bella. She is looking for a foster home, with the view to adopt for the new year! Bella would be happy to live with an older couple, who are around most of the day to cuddle with her on the sofa & with time to take her on lovely sniffy strolls. Being not-a-spaniel, Bella walks beautifully on the lead with grace and serenity!

Bella’s favourite thing is to snuggle on the sofa & to be pampered by her fosters. She has a much calmer demeaner than any spaniel you’ve ever met! Bella’s foster describes her as having the most gentle, endearing nature with soulful eyes.
Bella could be homed with another small, calm, older dog; however she would be equally as happy to be an only dog. She is currently in foster with 5 bi***es & is happy to coexist with most of them – she is not the best of friends with her foster sister of whom she is the same size as. She has also lived with neutered males before and no issues have been reported.

Bella could be placed in a home with children as she has met visiting grandchildren in her foster home & was comfortable with them; however we feel she would be best suited to an adult home with a calm environment for her to spend her golden years!

In foster, Bella has totally ignored the resident cat, so she could be placed with a dog-savvy, non-flighty cat. Bella is in foster on a farm, where she now ignores the resident alpacas, after initially barking at them.

Bella loves men & women equally – as long as they are fussing her! She is initially wary of strangers, but soon warms up once she knows she is safe.

In foster, Bella has behaved the model house guest. She has not had any accidents & is non-destructive. Bella isn’t used to having toys, so her new fosters will need to teach her how to play! In foster, she is beginning to get it.

Being a sighthound, Bella will require a small wardrobe to keep her warm and dry in the Winter! On the topic of being a sighthound, Bella has not shown a high chase drive in foster; however, once she is settled into a home, this is something that could possibly show through. Although she has shown good promise for recall in foster, it is important to note that her prey drive may take over!

We are unaware of how Bella will fare when left at home alone, as this has not been tested in foster, so her new fosters will need to be able to gradually build up the amount of time she is left to be sure she will cope with this fine.

Bella doesn’t travel particularly well as she isn’t used to car rides, although she is happy to jump in; her new fosters will need to be prepared to take lots of breaks when taking her to her new home!

If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion please drop us a PM

🎄COULD YOU FOSTER FOR US OVER CHRISTMAS?🎄

🐾EXPERIENCE NEEDED🐾

It is that time of year now where we are working hard to get to our dogs in safe home over Christmas. We had hoped that Spark would have been adopted but the right home hasn't come forward, and we still haven’t a placement for his for Christmas.

Spark is nervous and reactive towards some people and dogs. He is also alert to noises outside when in the home, so he needs work.

This is a plea for an experienced foster to help us. He just needs a very quiet, experienced home - who understand dogs like this. We will back up the fosterer with a full vet health check and a 1/2/1 behavioural assessment (which may not be until the new year as it will be depending on the location / availability)

Support will be available from the rescue. It needs to be quiet ~ dog free ~ children free.

Can you help, if not can you share this post. It’s really urgent now. If you feel you might be help , please PM, email or call for a no obligation chat to find out more about ⚡️ Spark ⚡️

Thanks 💕

‼️ CAN YOU HELP US ‼️

🌟🐾 IF YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE PLEASE REACH OUT TO US URGENTLY🐾🌟

In the main we take dogs into our care who are assessed and adopted within a 5 week period. Periodically we find a dog who needs help and support for a longer period of time prior to adoption, or a scenario where a dog isn’t getting along with the resident dog unexpectedly and needs an urgent move.

We are looking to build up our ‘emergency fosterer’ database to respond to these situations quicker and easier.

Anyone who has experience with dog reactivity, nervousness and fear based reactivity and overstimulation we would love to chat to you if you can help. The foster periods may be longer (6 weeks plus) and you will ve likely to be expected to work with 1/2/1 behaviourists.

In emergency cases we can support with transport where needed.

We have a dog in our care currently who is showing fear based reactivity towards dogs and people, and is barking and lunging. He hasn’t got a bite history, but he needs someone to work with him under an accredited behaviourist.

Can anyone help?

If so please PM us for a chat, the home would need to be very quiet, rural and dog free.

If you can help , or would like to offer help in the future we are keen to build our database of experienced fosterers - please drop us a message.

❤️We can’t do what we do without willing people and for some dogs we will need some very special people❤️

Thankyou

In foster, Bella has behaved the model house guest. She has not had any accidents & is non-destructive. Bella isn’t used to having toys, so her new fosters will need to teach her how to play! In foster, she is beginning to get it.

Being a sighthound, Bella will require a small wardrobe to keep her warm and dry in the Winter! On the topic of being a sighthound, Bella has not shown a high chase drive in foster; however, once she is settled into a home, this is something that could possibly show through. Although she has shown good promise for recall in foster, it is important to note that her prey drive may take over!

We are unaware of how Bella will fare when left at home alone, as this has not been tested in foster, so her new fosters will need to be able to gradually build up the amount of time she is left to be sure she will cope with this fine.

Bella doesn’t travel particularly well as she isn’t used to car rides, although she is happy to jump in; her new fosters will need to be prepared to take lots of breaks when taking her to her new home!

If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion who is older, and calmer than any spaniel, please fill out the application!

Beautiful Daisy

💔🐾REMEMBERING DAISY🐾💔 Sadly a couple of weeks we had to say goodbye to another of our beautiful long term foster girls Daisy. Her fosterers have just given her the most wonderful times and she couldn't have been more loved. Her wonderful foster family were absolutely devastated and just wanted longer with her. Some beautiful words to remember Daisy, from Ann, her foster mum came through today.. "It would be Daisy's 14th birthday today, last year I bought her birthday cupcakes and here is a video of her gently eating one. She is now home with me along side Sweep my other black cocker and when I go they will be scattered or buried with me." We are so lucky to have fosterers and adopters who extend such love, no more so than when it is for the older dogs who come to us. Thank you 🩷🩷. “Our beloved pets teach us more than we could ever have expected, and they love us more than we could have hoped.”

🐾⭐ September Roundup⭐🐾 Whilst we are arranging the next intake of dogs looking for our help, let's pause and look back on some of last months lucky dogs. This is just a snapshot of our adoptions and fosters this month, there are many more cannot be included in a minute video, but hopefully this is a little insight into all the work that goes on behind the scenes. Of course it is our supporters, applicants, fosterers and donations that make everything happen, we can only facilitate all of this with you lovely people! 😍Thank you 😍 🎙sound on!

About us

Second Chance Spaniel Rescue was set up by a group of Spaniel loving owners. All at some point have been involved with other rescues and decided to form a group together to help Spaniels. The majority of the admin team have adopted dogs too from previous rescues. Amazingly, amongst us we have over 70 years of experience with rescue dogs with a mixture of issues and through this have gained a mass of knowledge. Our mission is to help as many Spaniels in the UK and abroad when needed, who need a new start with a new home. We aren't here to judge as to the reason why people need to find their dogs a new home, we are just here to help. We are a Foster Home based rescue, based all over the UK. We may look into the potential use of kennels in the future if we need them, but for emergency situations. We are a rescue who Rescue, Assess, Rehabilitate and then Rehome. We are also a non-destructive rescue. We will never put a dog to sleep unless it is upon vet and behaviourist advice. We take every applicant and home on its own merit, we don't have massive blanket bans for example: - If a dog has been with children, assessed fine with children, we will rehome it with children. - If you work, as long as you have a dog walker to pop in and relieve the dog and take him/her out for a walk, we are happy for you to adopt. - If you are older than most rescues permit, please get in touch, as we may have older dogs looking for retirement homes. - If you have other dogs in the home, and one can't be neutered due to medical reasons, again, get in touch, we would be happy to place a neutered dog there. - If you have a cat thats always been around a dog, again, get in touch! - No blanket ban on children of any age. We rely solely on donations & adoption fees to run the rescue. If anyone wishes to donate, please use the below details: Bank Details Second Chance Spaniel Rescue Sort Code: 07-08-06 Account Number: 11511489 Branch: Nationwide Building Society Paypal [email protected] Thank you!
