Willow – 3 year old female English Springer Spaniel

Willow is a 3 year old female English Springer Spaniel. She is being fostered in Gloucestershire in an adult family home with other dogs.

Willow arrived in our care after being found dumped on the streets of Bristol and not claimed from the stray pound.

The first day when she arrived so unsure

Meeting new dogs to make sure she was ok with them

Underweight as you can see from the pictures she was 8.3 kilos the Vet said she so easily could have died – a lot of her skin was red raw and she had that broken look about her, so very timid and scared.

Being examined at the vets

Very slowly over the weeks Willow has gained weight, her skin has settled down and her confidence grows a little every day.

Her foster home has worked so hard with her to help her understand that some of us humans are good people and nothing bad is going to happen again. Its all now paying off .

A different Willow

Willow is a lovely dog, with a lovely temperament but can be unsure at times and gets scared initially with new people and new situations. We believe she has not lived in a home environment with kindness and love so can take a while to accept new people but can be easily bribed with sausage which speeds things up and she will soon snuggle in with you.

She gets on well with the other dogs and we feel this is a must for her rehoming criteria as they give her confidence. She has learnt to travel in the car, been to secure fields where she is now starting to enjoy the freedom rather than be worried by it.

This was the video in the early days over the secure field so you can see the difference to the most recent one

and the most recent

Willow is a proper rescue dog she would suit someone who has experience with rescue dogs particularly ex-breeding dogs. Another dog is a must and a country home. An adult-only home that is not busy and can take over where her foster mum has left off and guide her through to becoming the crazy happy Spaniel she always should have been. A quiet calm home where she can feel secure.

She has changed so much

Bedtime for Willow

5 Simple Tricks To Develop a Connection with Your Dog

Image
It is not difficult to fail to remember that creatures are living animals with pulsating hearts. Very regularly we as individuals assume that we have syndication on this planet and that we alone can feel feeling. Be that as it may, this isn’t accurate the least bit. A large number of you might have seen the new video via web-based media that was viral as of late in which a dog perceived a man that had saved her and showed her appreciation in a way that moved everyone present to tears. If you have not watched that video, you definitely should watch it immediately! dogs cry ponies can observe looks of people , felines are shrewd, chimpanzees express feelings, and so on You could be pardoned for not knowing this, as may be our greatest imperfection as people is the haughtiness that we in some cases appear to ooze which will unavoidably achieve our defeat one day or the other. So, the reason for this article isn’t to reveal insight into the theory. We will return to the past assertion in ...

Boton – 5 month old male Basset Fauve de Bretagne Cross

Image
Boton is a 5 month old male Basset Fauve de Bretagne Cross. He is the result of another irresponsible litter. We rescued the mother with her babies when they were one month old in Northern Spain. After fighting against parvovirus only 2 babies survived and Botón is one of them. Poor Boton has had some bad luck in his short life… We thought we had found a lovely home for him, and then without so much as an explanation, the prospective adopters disappeared. So for this reason, Boton is still looking for his forever home, and we really want to make sure this time around, it’s the right one. His brother was recently adopted to the UK, and is doing very well, settling in like an absolute star and loving the company and attention of his new family. Boton is a well socialised and happy boy, he loves to play with other dogs and is friendly towards people, but he hasn’t been used to life in a home environment, so his future family need to be patient and understanding with him, to help him ...
