Marley – 7 year old male English Springer Spaniel

Marley is a gorgeous 7 year old English Springer Spaniel Boy. You would never think Marley is 7! He is a lovely friendly boy, who is good with other dogs, and travels well in the car. He can be a little strong on the lead at first but soon settles.

Marley sits, gives paw, is clean an non destructive in his kennel. He is a little over weight at the moment, so a nice steady increase in exercise for Marley would be the way forward.

Marley really would love to be in his forever home. Can you offer him the love and home he deserves ?

Reggie – 7 year old male English Springer Spaniel

Hello, my name is Reggie. I’m a seven year old male Springer Spaniel. I arrived at The Mayhew because my owners were moving to a property which didn’t allow pets. I am a friendly, confident and fun-loving boy. I’m toilet trained, I know all the usual commands which I respond well to and I can be left on my own for a few hours without any problems. I love going to the park and I have a good recall off my lead.

I’m not interested in other dogs and I prefer not to interact with them, I’d much rather be playing fetch with a tennis ball. I am very friendly with everyone I meet and I get on well with strangers but I don’t like going to the vets and I will sometimes show aggression if someone tries to restrain or manhandle me. I’m a very playful dog who loves his toys and I’m also very affectionate. I’m a healthy chap but I need to be fed a high fibre diet.

I am now looking for a forever home with an experienced owner who has researched my breed type. I’m looking for an all adult home without visiting young children and I will need to be the only pet in the household. My new owners will be expected to provide me with a hour of off lead exercise in the park everyday. If you’re interested in adopting me you will need to be fully prepared for the hard work and long-term commitment involved in caring for a dog, which must not be taken lightly.

I hope to see you soon

Reggie

Sam – 15 month old male English Springer Spaniel

Sam is a 15 month old Springer Spaniel cross Border Collie. He is a very sweet boy, in need of a very active home where he can get lots of cuddles and lots of walks. Sam came to his current foster home a couple of months ago and he had no basic training. But in that time he has improved immensely due to consistent training and positive reinforcement – this must be continued in his new home. His lead training needs to be worked on but he is crate trained and paces around the house when he wants to go out to toilet. He has no problems with food and he loves to run around. It would be best for him to not live with cats but he is happy to live with other dogs and older children. He absolutely loves other dogs – he just wants to play when out and about, but is submissive to his housemate when at home.

Sam’s fosterer says that since first fostering Sam back in November he has come on in leaps and bounds:
“When he first came in, he didn’t know what it was to be a dog. But since then, he has learnt so much.

His manners are coming on brilliantly, he sits for food and waits with slobber dribbling till he is told he can have it. He will not jump up at visitors anymore, he does still bark at the postman but we are working on that and he is very clever so will be there in no time. He will play ball all day if you have the energy and no dogs come along to have a sniff (they’re more fun than tennis balls) and when we sit down quietly for an evening he will bring toys to you for you to throw for him. He most definitely has Collie in him!

Sam loves to sit on you for cuddles if you sit on the floor and will rest his head on your lap for a stroke when you’re sat on chairs or sofas – he doesn’t care how he gets his cuddles so long as he gets them!!

Sam has been a joy to foster and seeing him grow from a scared animal into a little man has been a privilege. Whoever is lucky enough to re-home him will get immense pleasure from having him around and seeing him grow so much further with the training they put in. He is a special boy and needs a special owner to give him the time and training he deserves.”

Sam is neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. He is currently on foster in South Wales but we re home across the UK.
