| Sam's CV: Hello everyone. I’m Sam, a 4 year old springer boy. As you can see from my picture I’m a bit of a handsome boy! I live with my 3 foster brothers just now, but my foster mum thinks I’d be better as an only dog for just now. I need an experienced Home with someone who has the time to help me reach my full potential. While I’ve been living in my foster home I’ve been learning different ways to deal with being overtired and overwhelmed. I’m getting the hang of going to my crate when I’m overtired, however, my foster mum still needs to guide me to my crate most of the time. After I’ve had a nap I’m usually quite settled. My foster mum has been putting me in my crate when I’m overwhelmed too, it gives my brain time to process all the exciting things that have happened. I still resort to my past learned behaviour a lot though. I will steal anything I can get my paws on. My foster mum does swap what ever I’ve pinched for a treat and most of the time I’ll quite happily give back my prize. My foster mum thinks that if I can have something to work my brain I won’t need to look for things to steal.
I love to go out for a walk. I happily jump in the boot of the car. When I’m out for a walk I’m an absolute delight! My recall is excellent to both my name and to a whistle. I come running back as soon as I’m called as there is usually a tasty treat or some fuss as a reward. I’m very food motivated which my foster mum says will make my further training a bit easier. I’m happy to be left on my own for a few hours. I’m a very sociable young man who enjoys meeting people and other dogs. I would really like to chase the cat that lives here, and I like to chase bunnies when we’re out for a walk. I’ve seen cows when I’ve been out for a walk and they didn’t interest me at all.
Overall, I’m a happy wee lad who just needs a wee bit of extra help to reach my full potential.I'm looking for an experienced owner who is willing to work with me and give me plenty time to settle in as I get anxious in new situations. My new owners need to be prepared to work with the lovely behaviourist who will provide ongoing support. If you think I’m what’s missing from you life (and sofa!) please get in touch.

| Bracken's CV: Hello, I’m Bracken and I am a lively young springer with a huge zest for life. I am 15 months
old and I’m doing really well with my training. I have mastered recall very well and I walk
quite well on a lead but do I do get excited and pull at the start of a walk. As I’m big and
strong (I weigh 25 kgs) my foster mum is using a harness and I am beginning to learn to be
calmer so that we both enjoy our walks, but I do need to continue working on this. I am
calm in the house and after a busy day, I snooze all evening and sleep quietly all night on a
rug beside my foster mum’s bed. I am very clever and need lots of stimulation to keep my
mind off finding my own entertainment. I am content to play with my toys and my foster
brothers for short periods whilst my foster mum is out.
I play happily with most other dogs that I meet, but I am learning to that not every dog
wants to play quite as much as I do. I am very obedient and go straight to my foster mum as
soon as she calls if I’m being a bit too boisterous. I travel quietly in the car and am respectful
of horses. I am looking for a country home where someone is around most of the time to
keep me busy and active and to carry on with my training. I really enjoy the company of
other older and wiser dogs and am gentle with children, though I can forget how big I am
and can be a bit clumsy with the very young. Do you have a large space in your life for a big,
bouncy bundle of fun like me? NOTE - if you are homechecked use the email below to note your interest. If you are not homechecked yet, please complete an online application found on our website. Email us here for enquiries about Bracken: aberdeenshire@springerrescuescotland.org |

Name: Holly Ref No: 15001272 Location: Grampian: Aberdeenshire Breed: English Springer Spaniel Age: 7 Years, 0 Months ESTIMATE Gender: Neutered Female Good with Children: Older Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: No Good with Livestock: No Status: Available |
| Holly's CV: Hi everyone, my name is Holly, I am a 7 year old liver and white
springer girl. I am living out in the country with my foster Mum and
Dad and I love it. It is great running round the fields of long grass
sniffing. I have great recall, I never stray far from my Mum. I love
meeting new people and give them a good welcome, sometimes I give them
a couple of barks and then straight up to them for a cuddle. I am fine
with dogs too but I don't like it if they come up too close or a bit
barky. I will chase cats and rabbits. I travel very well in the car,
you won't know I am there. I have latched on to my foster Mum and
follow her wherever she goes from room to room in the house or in the
garden. I can open doors so if I don't see her, I will look in rooms
until I find her. The best bit is when she settles down for the
evening after my last walk and I get cuddles. I would really like a
home where there is someone there most of the day. I want to be the
only dog in the house so that all the cuddles are for me. I get on
well with children but it would be best if they were older as I can be
a bit bouncy. Did I mention I love balls? If you throw it in the
garden I will get it and bring it straight back to you ready to go
again and again and again!!! NOTE - if you are homechecked use the email below to note your interest. If you are not homechecked yet, please complete an online application found on our website. Email us here for enquiries about Holly: aberdeenshire@springerrescuescotland.org |
