Requirements:
🐾A nice calm household where Buddy can have his own space to chill

🐾Children 12 plus

🐾A home that will let buddy be part of the family but let him be independent equally, he doesn't want to play 24/7 with dogs or children

🐾A home where people are round most of the time and happy for him to come to them for cuddles

Buddy is a lovely, good sized sprocker, at 6 years old, he is in good health, friendly disposition and generally is quite independent out and about on his walks and in the home, but enjoys cuddles on the sofa in the evening.

Buddy came to us as his owner was no longer able to care for him owing to ill health, he has always been a constant companion to her for last last 6 years and accompanied her everywhere so he's very used to going to shops, cafes and pubs. He is well behaved in public and whilst he has been on the lead in his foster period we know he was generally walked by the coast off his lead and mixed with dogs and people well.

Buddy hasn't lived with children previously, but he seems very happy in the company of people, and had visiting children in his original home. We are happy for him to be placed with children who have lived with dogs previously and understand Buddy is not a plaything and will often opt to take himself off for a rest or some quiet time.

Buddy is living with a neutered male in foster. He has spent all his time previously as an only dog, so this is generally what he is used to. As Buddy is local to a member of the SCSR team, we have walked with him and her female dogs and he is very happy to be in the company of dogs. That said he isn't really that interested to interact with them. He hasn't looked to initiate play with the dog in foster nor did he when out on a walk with 3 other dogs. Buddy does not need a dog as a companion. He can live with another dog but we feel a multiple dog household may be to his detriment.

Buddy has lived with a cat happily for a large proportion of his life, so can be adopted with cats.

Buddy has been really good and loving with his fosterers, he hasn't shown any undesirable behaviours towards them, or the resident dog. One dog went into his face on a walk aggressivity but buddy just gave a low growl. The owner of the other dog had to forcibly pull the dog away form Buddy and he seemed quite unfazed by it.

Buddy previously lived with a lady who often went out all day with him, to include a meal stop, a walk and some errands so he was used to being out all day with her. The fosterer has worked hard to start establishing a routine with him of 3 walks (2 x 30 mins and 1 x 1 hour) and teaching him to rest in between. We feel buddy would slot into any routine with a good amount of walking (90 mins plus). His fosterer has played some ball games with Buddy which he has liked.

Buddy isn't crate trained and came with no bed of his own. He has had a bed previously we understand – but he is on the sofa or on the hall floor at the moment during the day. He is sleeping upstairs on the end of the bed currently.

Buddy has been left for 30 mins alone in foster and has been fine, he probably hasn't been left much previously, so this is something that can be built up but he'd like someone around the home to begin with. He isn't showing any notable signs of seperation anxiety on the short periods he's been left.

Buddy has had a lot to contend with recently, his owner had a deterioration in health for some time whilst he was in her care and then he was in emergency care before coming to us and our fosterer. All credit to Buddy he has taken everything in his stride and hasn't stepped a paw out of line. He has been quite a reserved lad in our care, but we do think in his new home once settled in, there will be a fun loving cheeky personality.

Are you able to give our kind, reliable Buddy his forever home?

Luna is the happiest of little spaniels! We have been so lucky to foster Luna, she is a little beauty. She is a people pleaser and wants nothing more than for you to give her your love and attention, that can bubble over into a bit of neediness sometimes but she is easily redirected.

Luna loves her space, in foster she is very confident in the house and especially the garden. She loves nothing more than being outside while we are gardening or doing jobs about the property. She happily chases the leaves or snuffles under the bushes.

Walking Luna is a breeze, she is a little hesitant with new places but is a typical spaniel and loves a good run around in our forest. Initially she was very hesitant about the harness and lead but we have worked hard on reinforcing a positive experience and she has improved dramatically over the past few weeks. After a month we have walked her off lead, her recall is excellent but she does have prey drive and is fascinated squirrels! 🐿️

What Luna needs is a calm home where someone is consistently at home. She can be left for up to 4 hours without any issues, we leave her in the lounge where she happily snuggles on the sofa. She does not tolerate strangers very well. She is very nervous and can growl and bark at unfamiliar people, she is definitely more confident with women than men. Introductions with new people needs to be carefully managed, we are happy to share what we feel works with the new adopter.

Luna needs a home which is not busy and where she is centre of attention and the only dog. She ignores people and dogs on walks unless they approach her and then she can get scared and needs plenty of reassurance. Her trigger point is when a stranger tries to touch her or gets into her personal space. She also has not tolerated other dogs getting close to her humans.

These issues are improving, we have noticed she is becoming more confident with us around, she just craves her security bubble of familiar places and people.

Luna is the perfect dog that just needs a quiet home where everyone has patience and time to reassure her and build her confidence. We are so sad we cannot adopt her as our household has too many visitors and in the longer term our jobs mean we would need dog walkers which we feel she just would not cope with.

If you feel you can help Luna, why not visit the original post to see more specifics and if you can help, please drop us a message.

Description:

Sadie is as cute as a button and a little pocket sized companion. At only 8kg she is a small dog, but has a big personality. Sadie is specifically looking for a quiet companion home where she can just have all the love, attention and cuddles in a nice quiet environment.

Sadie does live with children, but this is the main trigger for her fear. They make her very anxious and she can't settle in the home. We will put Sadie with children over 16, but honestly are really looking for an older adult home, a retired couple who are home all day would be perfect for her we feel.

Sadie doesn't want to share her home with dogs, again it cause her stress, but she can be happy to meet dogs outside. She is much better off her lead to meet dogs as she likes to have the option to make her own space away from them. She won't ordinarily seek out dogs to meet, but she will meet polite dogs nicely. Sadie likes dogs to have manners, and will growl if they snoop around more than she feels is appropriate! Generally she is neutral on walks preferring to just do her own thing.

Sadie lived with a cat, but again didn't get along, so not cats. I'm sure you have all got the picture here that in the home Sadie definitely needs to be the one and only for all the love and cuddles!!

Sadie is walked on a harness and a lead, she wears a collar at all times for her ID, but doesn't walk with the lead on the collar as she doesn't like it. Sadie knows what she likes! She walks really nicely on her lead and has good recall, aside a little squirrel chasing in the forest! She walks 30 mins to 1.5 hours daily

Sadie does see her crate as her safe space, so does enjoy having access to one. She will often take herself off to it, when the household feels too busy, and sometimes does choose to sleep in it with the door closed with a blanket over. But during the day it is always open in a quiet place for her to retreat to of her choice. She is also allowed on the furniture.

Sadie is left 1-2 hours and thereafter does display signs of separation anxiety.

Over her life Sadie has had some digestive issues, they all very well managed, but she had a very bad episode with a rawhide chew, which needed surgery and is on a food that suits her now (non prescription, Pooch & Mutt brand) – she has 3 small meals a day and a strict rule of no human food and thrives on this. We feel this is very important to maintain the same diet so a fosterer should be prepared to do so.

Sadie is nervous and anxious sometimes, but we do hope the quieter environment will improve this significantly. She will need time to settle in and the fosterer must be prepared to give her time to adapt to her new home on her terms. She responds well to being reassured and spoken to in a calm and confident, yet quiet voice. She needs love and security but mustn't have her fear reinforced.

Sadie is based in Great Manchester, please be aware to foster you need to collect her, she travels reasonably well in the car but doesn't travel long distances.

If you feel you can help Sadie, please PM or email us and we can chat some more about what you can offer.

Affectionate, loving Spark is looking for his forever home and a sofa to cuddle up with his adoptive family.

Spark loves going on sniffy walks in the woods with his fosters, always staying close by. He also enjoys going on runs with his foster dad & of course, a healthy spaniel wild swim.
Spark does like to investigate in the undergrowth on walks to sniff so will sometimes go out of sight but does come back on his own accord – fosterers used a whistle to encourage recall on occasion which works well.

Spark is initially wary of strangers; he firstly wants to ignore them. In foster, he has let a little growl out & snapped once, to ward off unwanted attention from strangers. However, once he has had the time to get to know people on his own terms, he is very affectionate and cuddly.
Spark would be best suited to a home where he is able to meet strangers at his own pace on neutral ground, before coming into his home.

In foster, Spark has had a funny tummy related to cooked chicken, so potential adopters must be aware he doesn’t react well to this food.

Spark is also nervous of loud, unexpected noises. He will sometimes bark at them.
Upon entering foster care, Spark pulled on the lead while out walking.
His fosters have worked hard with him to improve his loose-lead walking skills.
He walks nicely on a harness.

Spark can sometimes be restless after a stimulating walk. His fosters have worked with him to teach him to settle in his bed & chill out after walking. He is learning quickly & will take this skill with him to his adoptive home.
He sometimes needs downtime in the crate to settle with a treat, especially when he wants attention, or when you are eating – he sometimes attention barks but is learning to settle. He is MUCH better now than when he arrived, and this is a rare occasion now.
⁠
When he is over excited, Spark has stolen slippers but will happily exchange for a treat!

Spark has shown ability to interact positively with strange dogs out on walks, when interactions are kept short. He sometimes reacts towards strange dogs and people while out and about, by barking and lunging on the lead.

Spark has also shown his fosters through body language a short growl that he would like his own space when chewing on high value treats. Because of this and his apprehensive
nature towards strangers, we feel a child-free home would be best suited for Spark.

He can also be reactive to traffic/pedestrians when walking on the lead if busy – fosterers put him in the car as he found walking to the park and back quite stressful - so will benefit from a more rural home to avoid these triggers or being put in a car to travel to a quieter area with less people/dogs as he finds too many of these overwhelming.

When he is triggered it is hard to get him to calm when out, better to remove him from the situation completely and go home

Spark has never lived with cats & has shown chase drive towards them in foster, so he cannot be homed with cats.
However, Spark has been around livestock in foster & doesn’t react to them.
He will also chase squirrels and has fun flushing small birds.

Spark has shown tendencies to obsess over tennis balls in foster, so his ball time will need to be limited to keep Spark settled when he needs to be. He is excellent at finding balls when hidden, so his fosters like to play with balls in this way, rather than throwing them for him.
⁠When out on walks he will sometimes pester you for the ball and then will just bring you a stick instead! Which he will then proudly carry around.

Spark has not shown any destructive tendencies in the home (apart from his own toys or blankets).

⁠He doesn’t like you leaving the house, fosterers tend to distract him with a high value treat to get out of the door. They ensure he isn’t near windows where he can see out, as he can be reactive to people passing/front door knocking.

He is left in the back of the house with the run of the kitchen/diner and fosterers allow him on their bed when they are out.
Spark is fine to be left for > 4 hours (this will need building up at first). He is always quiet and/or asleep when fosterers return, nothing is ever destroyed or chewed up - there are no signs of separation anxiety.

He also travels very nicely in the car & he is comfortable being groomed by people he is comfortable with, such as his fosters.

⁠He will try and sleep on your bed overnight, but if you’re firm with him he will happily sleep on his mat on the floor. He likes sleeping on the sofas too.

Spark will bark or go to the back door to ask to be let out to go to the toilet.

Description:

We are looking for a further foster home for Luna, who would have an interest in taking her forward to adoption, in hope of minimising her further moves. She came into foster with us 3 weeks ago, but the household is sadly too busy for her. We need a very quiet patience home for her to deal with her anxiety issues listed below.

Luna has lived with children of 10 & 12, but she really does need a calm home so we have stated on this occasion 14 plus. To be clear she is absolutely fine in her interactions with children, we are just looking for an opportunity for her to have less stress in her life from a busy household.

Luna has lived with a dog previously and now is solo, we'd like to continue her as a solo dog.

Luna doesn't with live a cat, so we are looking for a cat free home.

Luna is an active dog she enjoys around 60-90 mins walking every day, split over two walks, one being an hour minimum, she has lots of off lead walks which we would like her to continue (after the foster period of being kept on a lead / line) and she has excellent recall. She doesn't have a strong prey drive. She is walked on a harness and a lead and doesn't pull excessively.

Luna has developed some anxieties in her life. She is quite wary of unknown men, this needs to be handled carefully so it doesn't become fear aggression. She doesn't like unfamiliar people or situations, so we would anticipate her fosterer will need to be prepared for her to take time to settle in, she may pace and be generally unable to relax at first. She is unsure of unknown dogs, but again not aggressive.

To sum up she is very unsure about a lot of things in her life, and will not cope with visitors in and out of a busy household. The current fosterer is having some workmen in the home and this is causing her a lot of stress and is the primary reason for the move.
Luna has been in a dog training class for a year and has done really well there, she has learnt to work and focus on her handler around unknown dogs and has learnt new commands, she has dabbled in agility and this is maybe something she could take further, with patience around her doing it at her own pace. It wouldn't be essential though.

Luna doesn't like being left alone much, more so as she is in unfamiliar territory at the moment, in her previous home she could be left for up to 4 hours but I think it will take time to get to that point in a new home. We can help a fosterer work to build up Luna's confidence up to help her become happier atone in their company, but a fosterer needs to be comfortable she'll be looking to be around you most of the time when you are home to begin with.

Luna has been prescribed 20 mg (1 tablet daily) of fluoxetine, to help her anxiety, since July 2024. Any cost of medication would be covered by the rescue in the foster period.

Luna is based in Gloucestershire, please be aware to foster you need to collect her, she travels well in the car.

If you feel you can help Luna, please PM or email us and we can chat some more about what you can offer. We feel Luna will need a very special home, who have time, patience and understanding.

Meet sweet, clever loyal Teddy, who is looking for his forever home.

Teddy loves nothing more than to cuddle up with his fosters on the sofa in the evenings. He would suit a calm, relaxed & child-free home environment where he can be the centre of attention. He is comfortable being left for reasonable periods of time & will happily take himself off for a snooze while he waits for his fosters to get home.

Some of Teddy’s favourite things also involve going swimming at the local private doggy swimming pool & practicing training games & agility with his fosters in the back garden. He would love to continue taking part in these activities in his adoptive home.

Due to Teddy’s dog reactivity, he is not currently in a place where he could live with another dog. Teddy’s family will also need to be prepared to continue with his training, teaching him to be calm and comfortable around strange dogs while out and about.
While Teddy shows excellent recall in a controlled environment such as the garden or a secure field, he is not suited to being walked off-lead in public due to his small animal prey drive & reactivity towards other dogs.

Teddy is quite a big boy & can be very strong on the lead – especially when reacting or pulling towards small birds / squirrels. However, his fosters have put an admirable amount of time & effort in to working on loose-lead walking with Teddy, resulting in a large improvement – although still a work in progress!

Teddy currently attends training sessions weekly with his fosters to work on focus in public & loose-lead walking. As Teddy is very intelligent, he has shown brilliant promise & they are currently working on taking their practices out into the real world, with real world distractions.

Being an older boy, Teddy is more than happy to laze around the house in the afternoons and evenings after a potter in the morning & some interesting scent-based or food games at home. He is a model dog in the home – very relaxed & well behaved.

Are you ready to offer Teddy his final forever home? Please apply through the link & get in touch for more information!

Requirements:

🐾Ability to read the dogs body language

🐾Children 16 plus.

🐾A home who understand Charlie is still a young at heart

🐾A working / active home where Charlie can be using his brain

Charlie, is a super handsome, full package of a dog. He is well trained, very biddable, cuddly, loving, affectionate and very intelligent and wants a job. He is everything a working cocker spaniel should be.

Charlie has a couple of little quirks, which we feel are a result of him having a busy mind. He can get quite overstimulated when his fosterers are opening kitchen cupboards and drawers (very bizarre we know!) and will run around and bark. His fosterers have been working on keeping him occupied while in the kitchen cooking with brain games such as hiding treats around the house, making him wait and sending him to find them. Its made a real difference and is improving.

Also Charlie can periodically steal items and guard them (shoes, socks, hair bands). We have done a lot of work on this in foster with Charlie and feel that will the correct stimulation, good housekeeping and the ability to read Charlie this can be overcome in the main with some long term management. After week 3 the fosterer has only one stealing / growling episode this week, where as the first week it was every other day, so it is changing as he settles. He is always happy to swap, we will share our method which is sucessful for Charlie.. Our fosterer has done a lot of work with the behavioural team at SCSR and a full handover of techniques and progress will be given. He only guards the occasional stolen item, not his food or toys or balls and so on.

Charlie has excellent training throughout. He has fantastic recall, he maintains focus on his fosterers and ignores livestock. In foster Charlie has had one to one training session with a gun dog trainer, who would in his words 'have taken him home himself had he not been 8 years old'.

At 8, Charlie is unikely to make a full time working dog but would be very suited to someone who enjoyed doing gun dog training or the occasional shoot. The gun dog trainer said Charlie has natural drive and determination that was required but needed to work on his steadiness training. He could also benefit with this steadiness training extending to a few other areas, for example when hiking he has picked up sticks or rocks and dropped them at the fosterers feet and barked. He has just been ignored when displaying this type of behaviour with the fosterers.

The gun dog trainer felt he could be primed to work on a shoot within 2/3 months, so he would be a project for next season. He has good focus and drive and did a blind retrieve and maintained his focus for over 5 minutes. He would be just as happy to do gun dog training and not actually working, he just needs to use his brain, scent work would also be very much of interest to him, he would thrive in this line of activity.

Charlie has been very loving in the company of his fosterers. Although active and in need of mental stimulation daily, he does have an off switch and will happily snooze after a good walk or training session. He is a solo dog in foster.

Charlie would benefit from living in a child-free home he could steal children's toys and guard them. We would like someone with breed experienceto adopt Charlie, and give him ways to use his brain and not see him as a older dog. Look at the videos - he is certainly not reflective of your usual 8 year old dog!

Charlie is not crate trained and didn't use a bed when he came into foster preferring the sofa. His fosterer has been working on encouraging Charlie towards a bed, to ensure he didn't start guarding the sofa (which he did one weekend, but he had a very sore foot that weekend so may have just been protecting himself) after having pain relief for his leg this hasn't happened since.

Charlie has only been left for short periods of time alone. When he was left on one occasion for longer (over 1 hour) they returned to him howling so some time may need to be invested in leaving him for long periods of time, but he is happy to take himself off to rest alone when the fosterer is working.

Charlie was originally surrendered as he wasn't getting along with the male dog in the home (both not neutered). He has spent time with a family male neutered dog and stayed overnight there with no problems. We feel that Charlie could happily live with another dog, but would prefer to find a spayed female for him. The fosterer did remove all the toys when he stayed overnight with the family dog, so we don't know if he could share toys. He is very happy as a solo dog.

Charlie has a couple of little quirks, and will go and make his own mischief (stealing things) when he is unsettled (in early days of moving) and when he wants to use his brain, but it is easy to understand and massive improvements have been made, his fosterers have nothing but fantastic things to say about him and say overall he is just amazing. Charlie will give you so much fun and is a dog where you can have a load of adventures with.

Are you able to give our loving, beautiful Charlie his forever home?

❣️ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT❣️ 🐾CHARLIE THE COCKER🐾 Charlie is a fabulous VERY active middle aged dog. He needs a home with no children under 16, can live alone or with a female dog and IS VERY young for his years. If you like hiking, running, gun dog work or scent work and have some dog understand of reading dogs Charlie is the boy for you. He is almost the perfect dog, with a bit of a guarding around stolen items that has been very well managed in foster and can be managed, and undoubtedly improved further. We love him and really hope that perfect active home comes forward who understand spaniels, can keep him busy and they'll get a load of fun and loyalty in return. Want to know more?

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!
