Name: Mac Location: Aberdeenshire Age: 3 years
Hey! I’m Mac! I’m a 3 year old Golden Show Cocker and I think I’m handsome. I do have good house manners but can be very vocal. Typical of my breed I do bark at noises and peoples passing by. I’m currently sleeping in my own bed but do sneak onto my foster mums given the chance. On the whole I am very good around the house.
My manners and behaviour are passable, I do have areas where my foster mum is doing some work to improve. Should also say I’m a counter surfer, so far not managed to nick anything off the surfaces at my foster mums, she’s wise to this bad habit. My sit is very good, stay is not bad, but my come and no and down require work, along with my recall which is not great, you would have to continue with my training. I’m not the most cuddly of boys but love to get my belly, ears and under my chin rubbed and scratched.
I’ve had a health check from a very nice vet man who said that I was in very good condition and the right weight. Didn’t enjoy my visit, kept on hiding behind my foster mum. My diet consists of kibble twice a day which I enjoy, I get treats if I’m good. I do like carrots, ,broccoli stocks and pear, I’ve tried apple, banana and green beans and don’t like them. My foster mum is trying to encourage me to play with other toys including a treat ball and Kong wobble, as I am a bit obsessed with tennis balls which I like to strip. Soft toys I will also shred into bits. Oh, while I remember you will definitely have to keep socks well out my reach as I tend to eat them.
I have been getting plenty of walks on either a lead or long line, I will pull usually to go and sniff and pee which is often. I should tell you that I can be reactive with other dogs especially if they’re larger than me and I make my feelings known. I have visited the dog park and enjoyed the freedom to run. I love to sit and watch the world go by with an open door to allow me plenty of access to the garden.
My previous home had no children only visiting grandchildren, I am fine with adults but it takes me a little time to accept visitors. Cats are definitely a no-no for me, I had a standoff with one of my foster mum’s neighbours cats and had to be physically removed.
I travel well in the car either back seat with a restraint or in the back secured with a lead. I do not have a crate as I will continually bark when placed in it and am happy to have an allocated safe area in my new home.
My new forever home requires to be somewhere quiet with a large garden with open door into it. No young children or dogs as I have never lived with them, I may be able live with another small dog but that could take time. Absolutely my new home must NOT have any cats.

Name: Daisy Location: South Lanarkshire 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.

I am a liver and white Springer Spaniel who enjoys learning and following commands. I am quite well trained and I’m a quick learner. I walk well on the lead, and have very good recall off-lead, although I’m only allowed on a long line while in foster.
Since coming to my foster home I am allowed to stay in the same bedroom as my mum and dad and new best mate Rio. I am lucky to go for long walks in the countryside every day. I stay beside the seaside and enjoy going for a swim even though it’s a bit cold!
Foster Mum says I’m a really good boy on my long lead and always come back when called. I get on great with other dogs and love playing with new friends.
When I get my dinner I tend to eat really fast but I am learning to slow down as I know my wee foster mate won’t come near my dinner. I love cuddling up to my mum and dad and being petted I just love being with them. Although I’m 8 years old I am very active and still think I’m a puppy!

I am a liver and white Springer Spaniel who enjoys lots of company, and regular gentle walks. I am quite well trained, I walk well to heel, and have very good recall off-lead to my name and to the whistle.
I love to say hello to everyone, people and other dogs and I am very affectionate; cuddles are my favourite. Currently, in foster, I get walked 3 times a day for about 45 mins, I like an adventure that has lots of new smells and love to run thru the woodland near where I currently stay. I can swim and I like to play ball, as you can see I also have a toy box that I am happy to share or play myself, I currently live with 2 other Spaniels and would prefer to have another dog for company, but would also be happy on my own as long as you’re around most of the time, and I get to meet doggy pals on walks. I love my food and get fed twice a day, in the morning when I get up and, in the evening. I eat my dinner quickly but will slow down when reminded. Since coming to my foster home, I am allowed to stay in the same bedroom as my foster mum and my 2 new doggy friends Terri and Kodi. I am a good boy and sleep all night. I travel well in the car and can be either caged or harnessed.

Name: Bruno
Ref No: 8001453
Location: Central: Clackmannanshire
Breed: Cocker Spaniel
Age: 2 Years, 6 Months ESTIMATE
Gender: Neutered Male
Good with Children: Older
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Untested, please ask
Good with Livestock: Untested, please ask
Status: Available
Hi. My name is Bruno!
I am an affectionate and active working cocker spaniel. I love cuddles and spending time following my foster family around.
Since coming in to foster care I have been learning the importance of calm time. I am still working on this and can try to cause chaos, but will settle quickly when it’s time for bed. My smaller stature makes me curious about counters and tables, but if you move things far enough back so that I can’t see, my curiosity is sated. When I find items, I love them, so they are mine, but my foster parents are working on teaching me to share. My fosters will give you lots of advice, my new home will also have full support from SRS and Think Pawsitive behaviourists.
I love learning so I am quick to learn new commands, but following through can be hard without treats as a reward. I enjoy a good chat and will definitely have a wee gossip even when you don’t want to.
I really enjoy going for walks and I am great on a lead and longline and walk at heel when asked. My recall is a work in progress. I travel in a boot crate, but my foster parents are allowing me on the back seat with my harness plugged into the seatbelt. I love watching where we are going and looking out the window too. I have also started running with my foster mum, but don’t expect assistance on the hilly bits! I really enjoy the variety of activities.
I have tickly back paws and can be wary of you drying them, but over time I have gotten better.
I like having friends but look forward to my own space at the end of the day, so I would prefer an only dog home- plus this means I can focus better on my training! Out and about I like meeting other dogs, but I don’t want to play for too long. I like teenagers, but young children are too much for me.
I need: A home as an only dog to continue my training, an active family to give me variety and plenty of downtime.

Name: Broxi
Ref No: 28001456
Location: Borders: Berwickshire
Breed: English Springer Spaniel
Age: 2 Years, 9 Months ESTIMATE
Gender: Neutered Male
Good with Children: Older
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: No
Good with Livestock: Possibly, please ask
Status: RESERVED
Hi, my name is Broxi. I am a beautiful English Springer Spaniel and I will be 3 years old in April. I am a very happy boy who loves being with people of all ages once I get to know you, although I am a wee bit wary of strangers at first. I enjoy being out on long walks and I love cuddles. I can give paws and high fives and will roll onto my back to get my belly rubbed. I love to play with toys and I’m learning to give them to my foster mum when she asks me. I am also learning the “leave” command, and getting quite good at it! I will need someone who can continue my training. I get along ok with other dogs but would love to have my new owners all to myself. Cats are to chase! I can walk nicely on a lead but pull sometimes when excited, and my recall is quite good but I’m easily distracted!
I love to sleep on the sofa or on my foster mum’s bed, but I will sleep on the floor if I have a nice comfy bed. I am fine with being left for very short periods, but prefer you to be around. I travel well in the car either in the boot or on the back seat on a seatbelt clip and harness.
I am quite fit and healthy, but need to be careful what I eat, as I’m allergic to some things. SRS are looking for an extra special home for me, and have a list of requirements for me.
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 dog free home, no cats, older children would be fine, and preferably someone around most of the time.
