ARCHIE & LADY - 9 AND 8 YEARS *** BONDED PAIR ***

LADY is an 8 year old SOS breton and ARCHIE is a 9 year old sprocker. They have lived together for the last 4 years and are very bonded. We would like to find a home for them together. Due to challenging family circumstances, we need to help the family to find a home for LADY and ARCHIE.

ARCHIE is fantastic with kids and other dogs, he's very submissive and is just the perfect dog really. LADY has been fantastic with the little kids as well, she's been healthy since we have had her, she does have leishmania which is well managed and in remission, as well as being your typical loyal, loving breton. SOS are always supportive to all leish positive dogs that have been rehomed and available for ongoing conversations if needed.

Currently living in Surrey. Both microchipped, vaccinated, neutered and up to date with parasite treatments.

Can anyone find it in their hearts to offer this duo a home together?

BAILEY - 1 YEAR *** NEEDS ANOTHER PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOG ***

This gorgeous field spaniel was an unwanted pet in Spain, who came under our wing in the summer. In a foster home near Boroughbridge, N Yorkshire he has been a delight. BAILEY is a very happy dog. Still very much a puppy and full of energy. Loves playing with the other resident dogs with games of chase, bitey face and tug of war!

BAILEY loves to be made a fuss of and takes all the love you can give him. In the evening he settles well in a dog bed even though the others are on the sofa. At bedtime he sleeps in the kitchen with another dog and foster mum hasn’t heard a peep out of him until he is let out for a wee anytime from 6.30 to 7.00 am the following morning. He is at the stage where his energy needs to start to be channelled into an activity, we suspect he would love agility or canicross. He is not a dog who is going to sit on the sofa all day.

He is very handsome looking very well; long and lean, but he is still developing and building his muscles. BAILEY is very inquisitive and nosey. He will take the innards out of soft toys, but he is not destructive in the house. Instantly friendly meeting new people and dogs. He hasn’t been cat tested. He is house trained, happy to share food, chews and toys, has been left for 2-3 hours with the other dogs and no issues. He has mastered “sit” and “come”, travels well in the car.

Any potential adopters will have to take into account he is still a baby and needs an active home.

BAILEY is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatments and a Spanish Passport.

MIRA - 5 YEARS *** happy with older dog/or on her own ***

RESERVED

MIRA, the breton is in foster near Spalding, Lincolnshire. Her foster mum says “she is desperate for love and cuddles and so eager to please”. Found in rural Spain as a stray (first photo), quite clearly having had a litter (which the volunteers never found). She is quite a bouncy girl and has been playing with the resident dogs, but we feel she would best suited with an older dog (she can be a little possessive of toys and food). She is building up her confidence of living in a home for the first time, she is very bright and quick to learn.

She is already house trained, travels well in the car and has already learnt “sit” and “come”. She has not been off leash on her walks, although she hasn’t shown prey drive, she is still learning with her recall. She is good walking on lead and harness when out walking when she has been going out walking with 2 of the resident dogs.

MIRA arrived with very dry skin and poor coat, but foster mum has been applying salmon oil, which has soothed the skin and her coat is looking much better already. She still needs reassurance going forward, so a quiet, rural home would be ideal with a patient family willing to build up her knowledge of new environments and experiences. SHE HASN’T BEEN CAT TESTED!

MIRA is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatments and has a Spanish Passport.

LETTIE - 5 YEARS *** HAPPY AS ONLY DOG ***

RESERVED

Stunning little LETTIE the breton was a pregnant stray in Spain. After she had whelped and weaned her litter, there was nowhere for her to go, so she ended up in a Spanish perrera. Fortunately we were alerted to her fate and exited her. She is in foster near Grantham, Lincolnshire and a very bright, lively girl. Happily living with other dogs and cats, but would be quite happy as an only dog with human company. Likes to chase ball (the retrieving and bringing back, a work in progress!). Housetrained and happily sleeps in the kitchen at night.

Jumps straight into the car and travels well. She is a bit of a puller on a lead and harness (all 12 kg of her!). She loves being outside, so a family with a good sized garden to allow her to watch the birds and chews on her bones would be ideal. She loves a cuddle and will be your friend for life once she gets to know you.

LETTIE is a typical breton; loyal, intelligent, eager to please and would love something to do in life (man trailing, scent work, agility etc). She will be looking for an active family to keep her on her toes and various laps to sleep on.

She is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatments and has a Spanish Passport.

PEANUT - 18 MTHS OLD *** NEEDS ANOTHER RESIDENT DOG/NO CATS ***

PEANUT is in foster in Driffield, North Yorkshire. His foster mum says; “This boy loves everyone he meets, adults, children and other dogs. He has met several other dogs and once he has given an initial sniff he just gets on with his own business. His recall is improving every day, when called back on a secure field he will now come back and always comes back when shouted in from the garden. Walks beautifully when walked on his own, however, when he is with other dogs on a lead he can really pull as we feel he wants to be the leader. Peanut is reactive to cats.

He is very good around people with food, does not beg or jump up and is very respectful when humans are eating. He eats his own food with care, certainly doesn’t rush it down and you can put your hand in the bowl whilst eating, he doesn’t bat an eyelid. This boy definitely needs another dog in the home of a similar age and fitness. He loves playing with the fosterer’s resident dog, doing zoomies in the garden and playing with a ball. When the resident dog went for a groom he was lost without him. Strictly no soft toys as he destroys them and would then eat the contents.

The fact he only has one eye (removed when he came into our care due to an infection) does not affect him in any way, he is learning to catch a ball and is getting better every day. PEANUT sleeps well on his bed in the kitchen (not in a crate). There has never been any accidents in the house and if he needs to go out he will go to the door. PEANUT travels well in the car, definitely preferring the back seat as opposed to the boot and he is always clipped on for safety. “He’s such a beautiful dog with a lovely all round personality, who would definitely need another similar age dog for companionship.”

PEANUT is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatments and a Spanish Passport.

LANA - 1 YEAR *** NEEDS ANOTHER RESIDENT DOG ***

LANA is in foster in Shifnal, Shropshire and now ready for her forever. A breton cross found in a field (dumped?) in Spain. She is curious about everything, playful and still very much a puppy. She’s a lovely natured dog and after being very frightened when she arrived and has blossomed into a lovely dog. She is very intelligent and taught herself to go up and downstairs within a day and has also taught herself to open doors in her foster home. Quite impressive for a dog who hasn’t lived in a house before!

LANA is young and her foster parents have been working on basic commands, but training will need to be continued. She knows her name and knows to wait and respond to her name in the house and garden. She’s only been off lead in a secure field, so recall needs to be worked on. She eats extremely quickly and if you’re not careful will try and pinch food from the others! Foster parents are working with her to leave the others when they’re eating and she is making good progress with this.

She is housetrained now, jumps straight in the car and travels well. Happy to share chews and toys with the resident dogs, been left for a couple of hours with no issues. She is happy to be groomed, feet washed down, instantly friendly meeting people and dogs. She hasn’t been cat tested, so we will say no to cats in adoptive home. She will need another dog to learn from, cuddle with and play with.

LANA is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, had recent parasite treatments and has a Spanish Passport.

RON - 5 YEARS *** nEEDS ANOTHER RESIDENT DOG/NO CATS ***

RON has those eyes that make you melt! He is in foster in Tamworth and ready for his forever home. Owned by a hunter in Spain, he was kept in the most abhorrent conditions with no kindness in his life. He has made up for it in his foster home and loves a cuddle. He is a larger breton (springer spaniel size), who thinks he is a chihuahua! He is instantly friendly with people and dogs (his enthusiam can be quite full on when seeing other dogs on a walk, but he is just so desperate to say “hello”). He is living with another resident dog and happy to share toys and chews. He LOVES his food, but as he arrived emaciated, it’s not a great surprise that his focus is on food - anyones!

RON has been left for a couple of hours with no issues and is happy to sleep downstairs at night. He’s is very interested in furry and feathery critters, so re-focussing him on walks will be ongoing. He’s not met any children, but has been respectful when meeting a baby. He is very happy to be groomed, being picked up (!) and loves a good snuggle next to his foster family. He can be quite strong on a lead and harness, will need continued training, but also someone with a little bit of upper body strength!

He is a lovely, snuggly boy who will make a fabulous family member and will need another resident dog to help him to grow and settle in a family home. RON is microchipped, vaccinated, castrated, had recent parasite treatments and a Spanish Passport.
