Hey! I’m Jenson! I am a 5-year-old Springer X, possibly with a King Charles spaniel, and I think I’m very handsome. I have good house manners and love being the centre of attention in my foster home. I like a wee bark at noises outside and people passing by but I will take a telling, I do know what no means... I sometimes sleep on the floor but I like to cuddle in on the bed first, and when I get too hot, I will move away. On the whole, I am very good around the house.
My manners and behaviour are very good, although I do have areas where my foster mum is doing some work to improve. I love the Chase, anything that runs I will try catch, I do know my name and I do hear you but I sometimes have deaf ears and forget to stop. I am training on a long line and a short lead just now, so I do get freedom but also can't run far, I love a ball especially a squeaky one, that's the key to get me back when my ears can't hear my name, I get over excited near water, swimming is my favourite thing to do, I like people and saying hello to other dogs. I like toys and lots of them, although I do de-fluff them. I like sitting in the garden chilling, I watch the birds and can amuse myself.
I am currently living with two other Spaniels and I enjoy playing in the garden with them. Before I came here I was the only dog. When I first came to my foster home, I didn't like the car and was sick quite often. With a lot of patience my foster mum has me now loving the car and I get excited when she lifts the keys, as long as I don’t get fed an hour before I go, I'm all good.
I have been to the vets and have had my health check and my jags, I am neutered and have had my teeth scaled and polished.
I am ready to find my new loving forever home and I will give lots of loves back, I love cuddles. I would prefer someone with a big garden as I love to run round and round,
Currently I get fed morning and evening, I am eating Wagg dry and Butchers wet, I can be fussy, I have tried fruit but not much fussed although I do like veg in my dinner, it means I get more to eat.
I would prefer an experienced active home, with someone who will take me swimming sometimes, and with a large garden to play in. I could live with other dogs but would also be happy on my own, older children would be fine, and I would really like someone around most of the time.

Name: Daisy Location: Scottish Borders, Age: 2 years
Hi. My name is Daisy! I am a lovely, happy girl who wants to find an active forever home. I am a beautiful chocolate Sprocker Spaniel with a white flash on my chest. My coat is super silky and people say I’m a stunner, but I like my ears messy. I enjoy lots of company, and regular interesting walks. I am working on my training, I still pull a bit on the lead, and I like to be the leader. My recall is quite good but room for improvement, and I’m learning some boundaries in my foster home. I am a very smart girl and love a job to do.
I like people but when I first came into foster I didn’t really like other dogs. I’m getting used to being with another dog in my foster home now, and am not so reactive to other dogs when out and about. The other springer here does that bark thing when postman or delivery comes and sometimes I join in but most times I don’t know why.
I have lost some weight whilst in foster, as I’m getting more exercise now and loving it. I’m a skinny minnie and my humans call me dinky doo. I really like swimming as well and getting my feet up off the ground to proper swim. I’m developing fine muscle tone whatever that is. I also love playing with my ball but not obsessively and I give it up easily. My favourite is to have my ball or a stick thrown along burns and the muddiest of ditches so I can splash through it. I chase leaves on a windy day too and given the chance them ducks. When the humans come home I’ll bring them a gift, sometimes it’s a slipper. It’s a gift so I give it up. I’ve never chewed up anything that wasn’t mine.
As you can see, I currently live with one other spaniel but would prefer a forever home on my own so that I get all the attention. We sleep downstairs in our own beds or on the sofa no problem and often snuggle together.
I like my food, I currently eat kibble and rice, in the morning when I get up and, in the evening I have veg or fruit with it too. I get very excited when the carrots come out the fridge. I love a big chunk and shred it in no time. I do still watch when I’m eating that my foster doggy brother stays away from my bowl and I tell him off if he even thinks about coming nearby. I prefer it if we eat either end of the kitchen. I’m a good girl though, I sit nice until I’m told it’s ok to eat.
I travel well in the car and can be either in a crate or harnessed in the back. I like a trip in the car. I cry with excitement when I see we are somewhere we’ve been before for a nice walk but I’ve learned to wait nicely before getting out of the car Once home I’m getting really good at waiting until we are told it is ok to come in the door.
I’ve been to visit the vet peoples a few times. They make a big fuss of me and tell me I’m a beauty but I cuddle into my foster mum as close as I can, like a wee baby. She says she’d like to take me there more often as I’m like an Angel there.
I’m the cutest girl that just wants to have loads of activity in my life and I will give endless love for being grateful for that. If you think you are a match, please email us and one of the humans will give you additional information. I would prefer an experienced active home, I could live with another dog but would be happy on my own, older children would be fine, and I would really like someone around most of the time. I definitely need someone who will continue my training.

Name: Angus
Ref No: 30001477

Breed: ESS
Age: 5 years
Gender: Male
Good with Children: Older
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Livestock: No, will chase
Status: Reserved
Hi. My name is Angus! I am a lovely, happy boy who wants to find a reasonably active forever home. I am a very handsome English Springer Spaniel. I have settled into my foster home really well. I am quite laid back and chilled for a Springer, and I just love cuddles and lots of attention. I’m getting on well with my foster sister, but I don’t really play with her much. I am not too keen on squeaky toys, in fact, I find them quite scary.
I love my walks, but need to be careful not to over-exercise as I hurt my leg when I was younger and occasionally it bothers me if I overdo it. As you can see, one of my favourite hobbies is sun-puddling in the garden.
I am quite good on the lead but my recall when I came into foster was quite poor. My foster family have been working on my recall in a secure area and its slowly improving though I am easily distracted.
I am very friendly, I like people and dogs, and I am quite good with older children. There’s a couple of cats near my foster home and when out on a walk I ignore them. I need to be very careful around livestock and wild animals as I came from a rural area and have been known to chase deer.
I like my food, I eat Skinner’s Field and Trial twice a day, I eat slowly and let my foster sister steal my food, and my favourite treats are gravy bones.
I currently live in my foster home with another spaniel, so I would be fine in a home with other spaniels, but would also be happy to have you all to myself.
I travel well in the car either secure on the back seat or in the boot.
I’ve been to visit the vet and I am all up to date with my vaccinations. I am fit and healthy, but I will need to go to my new home with a contract to be neutered.
If you think you are a match, please email us and one of the humans will give you additional information. I would prefer an experienced fairly active home, away from any temptations to chase livestock or wild animals, I could live with another dog but would be happy on my own, older children would be fine, and I would really like someone around most of the time. I will need to be neutered once in my forever home. I would like someone who will continue my training.

Hi. My name is Ralph. I am a very handsome liver and white Springer spaniel, looking for an experienced forever home. I have really settled well into my foster home, and love playing and woofing with my foster brother, another spaniel. I am also learning a lot from him about how to behave well. My fosterers have been working on my training and this will need to continue in my forever home.
I like company, and someone around most of the day. I’m gaining more confidence and am very affectionate once I get to know you. I get quite excited when visitors come in, but I settle down quite quickly. I can be quite vocal if I think you’re not giving me enough attention!
I love exploring the garden, and being outside with my foster brother. I have been practising recall in the garden.
I am really enjoying my walks, we go out three times a day here, sometimes we go in the car and I’m really quite good in the car, secured with a harness. As you can see, I like the occasional paddle. I still pull a bit on the lead, but it’s because I’m so excited and enjoying life!
I sleep in my own bed, and I’m quite happy to sleep all night. I really don’t like crates, I’m much happier without one. I like my food, and have 2 meals a day.
If you think you are a match, please email us and one of the humans will give you additional information. I would prefer an experienced active home, I could live with another dog but would be happy on my own, older children would be fine, and I would really like someone around most of the time. I need someone who will continue my training and build my confidence.

Hi. My name is Dougie I am a lively, happy boy who wants to find an active forever home. I am a very fit young Sprocker. I am loving my foster home, and have been working on my training. I still pull a bit on the lead, I’m better with a Halti. My recall has room for improvement, and I’m learning some boundaries in my foster home.
I am very friendly but can be a bit nervous, I like people and most dogs. I sometimes bark at strange dogs. I am very affectionate and like a cuddle. I am quite good with children but am a bit bouncy for the small people, so older children would be ok. I’ve seen some cats but so far am not too interested in them.
I like my walks, I love sniffing new places, and I like the occasional paddle although am not sure about swimming.
I sleep in my own bed in the living room, and I’m quite happy being left on my own for short periods, I just settle down and go to sleep.
I travel well in the car, in the back with a harness. I love going in the car as it usually means we are going somewhere really nice for walkies.
I’ve been to visit the vet and am all up to date with my vaccinations. I’ve also been for my big boy op, so am all good to go.
If you think you are a match, please email us and one of the humans will give you additional information.

Name: Oreo
Ref No: 16001481
Location: Glasgow area
Breed: English Springer Spaniel (L & W)
Age: 8 years
Gender: Male
Good with Children: Older
Good with Dogs: Yes, but wary of large dogs invading his space.
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Livestock: Untested, please ask
Status: Reserved
Hello everyone. My name is Oreo, and just like the biscuit, I am very sweet!
I am 8 years old and was brought up in a loving home, but my owner could no longer give me the life she thought I really deserved because of ill health, which made her very sad.
I've had a great start to life and have absolutely no behavioural issues. I would say I'm a very good boy.
I am a very gentle, sweet natured boy. I am never aggressive. I was once bitten by a big, big, dog so I can sometimes be cautious of dogs invading my space. I would therefore be best as an only dog. I am fine with cats. I have not been tested with livestock, so probably best I don't live near any.
My foster family have said I am the most un-Springer-like Springer they've ever had. Apparently they are quite mad, Springers, not my foster family, full of energy and looooove food, any food and will even steal it from dinner plates. Well that's rude! I'm not really interested in food unless it's in my bowl.
I like the more chilled approach to life, I like my own space and will head to a nice quiet spot occasionally for a wee nap. I only really get excited when it's time for my walkies and to speed things along I will bring you your shoes. I walk really well on the lead and if I get too far ahead a short check brings me right back to heel. My Fosters say I'm very good at crossing roads and know my Green Cross Code. I know the words wait and over. I am not fussed by noisy traffic.
My recall is a work in progress, but when my fosters take me to the big doggy park and let me off the lead I will always head back to them and walk beside them after I have used up some of my energy.
I like children, I don't mind how young or old, as long as they play with me and give me lots of claps. I'm not boisterous when with my foster brother, so I'm allowed to sit in his room for a wee while after school.
I used to be given supermarket dog food but my fosters have moved me on to Skinners dry and wet food and it's so yummy.
I go to bed at night and sleep right through till morning. I sleep on the floor in my fosters bedroom, but they are gradually moving my bed out to the hall landing. They think I haven't noticed.
I am a very good boy when left at home on my own for a couple of hours, I usually just go for a sleep. I don't suffer from separation anxiety.
I will give a couple of barks when the doorbell goes, but I don't try to get to the door. I just want to let my fosters know someone is there.
I went to the vet for a thing called a health check and the lady vet said I am a very healthy boy. She said I was the bestest boy and behaved impeccably. She gave me treats. She said I am still intact, whatever that means, so I will come with a neutering contract.
Do I sound like the kind of loving boy you would like to share your life with? If I am, please get in touch.
Thank you so much for reading about me.
SRS Oreo xx

Ref No: 10001468

Good with Children: Older
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: No
Good with Livestock: Untested, please ask
Status: Available
Hi. My name is Harry! I am an energetic and boisterous boy who wants to find an active, forever home. I am a black Sprocker who enjoys learning new things and already know a number of basic commands. My foster parents say that I am a cheeky chappy and I will steal your heart, your bed and your socks!
I have recently had a wee operation to remove a fatty lump, apart from that I am a happy, healthy and friendly boy. I was originally overweight when I met my foster family, but they have been doing a good job at slimming me down which the vet is happy with.
I am working on my lead work, I can walk very nicely most of the time, I can pull a little to start off with because I am so excited to be getting out but settle after a few minutes. I am also very clever and remember where all the noisy dogs live in the neighbourhood, I can get nervous and reactive when I get near them. I do have reasonable recall off-lead, but I can get distracted by birds and cats! I also like to eat anything I can find, so need lots of supervision.
I will need someone to be home most of the time. I can be left for short periods if I have things to keep me occupied - I particularly like a licky mat with cheese spread, or anything else that is food related.
I like to pick anything up in the home and will gladly swap it for a treat but will relinquish it without a treat if you ignore me for long enough, I don't usually chew it with the exception of the mail, I like to have a nibble on an envelope or two so you might need a post box cover if you adopt me.
I get on well with everyone I meet, although I can be quite shy and hide behind people I know when I first meet them.
I’m not a big fan of travelling in a car, and when I do, I prefer to travel where a human can reassure me throughout the journey. I have tried to sit in the boot, however I become rather nervous and I will chew anything around me.
I am quite settled and I can sleep through the night without any issues and I can either sleep on my own bed or yours. I love a hug on a sofa and will let you stroke my belly.
I am getting better at not counter surfing when you’re in the kitchen, but I am very interested and will watch you cook and hope something falls off the counter. My favourite pastime is looking in the fridge with you to see if there’s something nice to eat. I’m happy eating dried food, but I will longingly look at you during meal times and give you my best puppy eyes in the hope you’ll share your food with me.
I am happy with teenagers but untested around younger children and my foster parents think I would steal food and toys from children to get attention. I also get on well my foster fur sister and I do like to watch her reactions to things if I am unsure. I would be happy living with another dog, as long as you are able to also give me lots of attention and walks.

Hello! I am Bramble, a liver and white ,2 and a bit year old, neutered springer spaniel. I am an energetic boy who loves walks and racing around the field and woods.
I used to be an only dog, but I currently have two foster sisters and a foster brother. At times I am a bit over excited and play quite roughly with my young foster-sister.
I haven't had the best start in life, having broken my leg which meant a lot of crate-rest. Consequently, I got bored and now shadow and light chase, but not all the time. My foster parents are trying to stop me doing this with help from the behaviourist. I am also terrified of the vet's and when I went for my healthcheck I went rigid and shook, but the vet said I am in good health.
At the moment I live on a smallholding where there are goats. At first, I really chased them, but I have got fed up with that. However, if one is nearby I'll see if she is interested in playing my games. I love a tennis ball, or two, and will play in the field with you and them for ages. If you leave me alone with them or other toys, I will destroy them. I won't touch your stuff though.
I love being in the car, go into the boot and I am good there. I sometimes jump out when the boot is opened, but I don't run off - I just want to go for my exciting walk. I am not good at walking on a lead, and really pull, but let me off in a secure area and I'll run and run, but come back to you as I like to know where you are. My recall is very good. Like most spaniels, I love water and if it is muddy so much the better. I am good when I meet other people or dogs on my walks.
However, I am not keen on being groomed, but I do like to be stroked. Where I used to live, the neighbour's children teased me by pulling my tail and ears, so I'm not keen on getting them touched, but foster Mum is letting me know that it is actually quite nice whilst we are sitting quietly together.
At night I sleep in the bedroom in my crate with the gate open. I will sometimes come out and sleep next to your bed (or chance it on it), but I am very quiet until it is time to get up. I don't like being left alone. I want to be with you all the time and if you go out I will bark.
My foster-mum says I am a wonderful dog with a lot of potential. In my new home I will need someone who is around all the time or can take me with them. I wouldn't mind being an only dog or maybe with a calm and steady dog who could teach me the right way to behave. Being able to go places where I can run free would be the best thing in the world.
I I would be fine with older teenagers who are used to dogs, but no young children please.

Hi. My name is Duke! I am a lovely, happy, young boy who wants to find an active forever home. I am a very fit young Springer. I am with SRS through no fault of my own and I am loving my foster home. I have been working on my training but I still pull a bit on the lead. My recall is really good when my foster mum has some delicious treats in her pocket , she says I am very clever and sit, stay and lots more when asked and have lovely manners.
I am very friendly but can be a bit timid and anxious around dogs and people I don’t know but only until I get to know them. I am getting on well with my foster sisters who are golden retrievers. Faith who is my age is my best friend we get up to lots of mischief.
I am very affectionate and like a cuddle. I didn’t like being touched around my back end or my paws much when I came into foster but I’m learning to trust my foster Mum and Dad now, and I let them groom me and look after me now. I have been to the vet for my health check and was a good boy even though I was very scared. I used to have sore paws but they’re much better now. I really like the lady vets and nurses best, the menfolk are just a bit scary.
I go for walks in the beach park every morning and love sniffing everywhere, I’m learning not to pull my foster mum too much. We go to the safe dog park where I can chase the ball and frisbee and my recall is sooo good, so I’m told. I have a special leash for walking where there’s cars and I’m getting the hang of this but apparently it’s a work in progress.
I sleep on the couch all night, it’s way more comfy than a dog bed and I really like having the company of my doggy friends so I’m never lonely.
I travel well in the back of the car all nice and secure and never make a noise.
I like all my dinners and treats, my foster mum says tuna is my very favourite as I get super excited when the can gets opened. I get a mixture of dry and wet food with a little something special added, the same as the girls.
I only bark when someone comes to the door and I find it a bit scary when strangers want to come in. My foster folks say this is going to take a wee bit time and we are going to practice getting things right. My really happy place is cuddling in close for a nice nap.
If you think you are a match, please email us and one of the humans will give you additional information. I would prefer an experienced active home, I would like to live with another dog but would be happy on my own, older children would be fine, and I would really like someone around most of the time. I need someone who will continue my training and help build my confidence.
I will go to my new home with a neutering contract.
