Della - 5 year old Tri-colour girl - Four Paws Animal Rescue

[emilyjw]

Name: Della
Breed: Cocker Spaniel
Age: approx 5 years
Kids: Good
Cats: Good
Dogs: See below
Fostered in Newport
 
Della has been with us in foster for about 2 weeks now. She is a very affectionate little dog and has lived happily with our other foster, Evie. The only problem that arises is when another dog wants affection off us. Then she becomes very possessive and drives them off. She has, however, never done this to Evie so I think she would settle in quite happily with another dog she accepts.
 
She also suffers Seperation Anxiety. She gets very upset, anxious and barks when she finds herself on her own. Whilst another dog is present, she is fine. Any adoptive owner will need to be aware of the problem and be prepared to continue working with her to overcome it.
 
She loves the car and is a good traveller but likes to sit on a seat. She does not play with toys but is learning to play with Evie. She likes her bed and will happily lie in it whilst she can watch you working around. Very willing to return when off the lead, she picked up her new name very quickly. Quite a quiet dog, not too bouncy or demanding in ways other than those mentioned.

how hard is it to get a rescue dog as ive never done anything like this before ,and what actually happens,sorry about the question

[emilyjw]

Hi Bev,

If you take a look at the adoption procedures page there are some general rules, e.g other dogs being neutered, vaccinated etc. Dogs not being left for more than four hours at a time, no children under 5, but sometimes these are flexible based on the dog.

You would need to go and meet the dog (with your current dog) at the foster home. Mostly it's a case of whether the dog is right for your family and whether you are right for the dog.

If you are interested in Della please complete this adoption form - http://www.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/downloads/adoption_application.doc and send it to enquiries@fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk.

Hope that helps,

Em

ive just sent them an email telling them about us all,and about arnie,so i will let you know if i hear anything about della

[amanda.seal]

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you Bev. She is absolutely stunning and i'll be so jealous of you  . I would consider her myself as i think Marley would do well with another dog around and she is just beautiful. Good luck.
 
But then again i'd have all of them if i could

  4 dogs - now there's a thought  (unfortunately that's where it must stop - a thought)
