Luke - 15 years old Merseyside Dogs Trust
« on: May 13, 2008, 09:56:04 AM »

Likes and dislikes: Luke is a lovely old man who found himself in our care after his owner died and the rest of the family couldn’t give him the attention that he needed. He loves company and his doggy friends. He currently lives with two yorkies at the centre. Luke just likes to plod around and still enjoys his walks.

Type of home needed:  Luke is looking for a loving home to spend the rest of his days. He still has a lot to give a new owner. He can be left for a few hours but he gets a little distressed if left any longer and he can’t hold himself as long anymore.  Could you provide a nice warm bed and some company for this little old man?

Unfortunately, I'm off to France next month and won't be back until August, otherwise I would take him in.

I'll certainly have him if he is still available in August.  He'll make an ideal companion for Charley.

Love to help him enjoy the rest of his days but with two pups think it would be too much for him?  Hope he finds a loving home soon.

I 'phoned this morning to say that I'll take him in August, if he is still available.  They didn't bother to take any details.

He looks like Benjie, my last Golden Cocker.

Good luck. He deserves a fab home and Im sure you could give him one. Although I would like to see him in a home before August it would be fab if he could go to a fellow COLer  :luv:

Do the oldies club know about this boy?They may be able to put him on their page, does anyone know how to go about it? Iam also wondering is there  a cocker spaniel rescue in Merseyside who could find a foster home? We got our old man Ralph after seeing him on the oldies page and cockers online. Think oldies club is a good route. Good luck Luke, hope you are soon in a loving home

There are two members of Cocker Rescue not too far from Dog's Trust.  One is in St Helens, according to the 'phone number, and the other is somewhere in the Liverpool area.http://www.thecockerspanielclub.co.uk/rescue_reps.htm
