Here's a link http://www.freewebs.com/manytearsrescue/dogslookingforhomes.htm (http://www.freewebs.com/manytearsrescue/dogslookingforhomes.htm) You'll need to scroll down a bit

Marie is gorgeous, lovely markings :luv: and Maple has got to me too :'(
Here's hoping they all find their forever homes very soon. They are all beautiful and deserve to have lots of pressies under a xmas tree somewhere :-\
-
They are all beautiful :luv: Marina looks so sad :'( Hope they all find loving homes soon.
-
We're looking for a golden boy at the moment but Marina, the little tri-colour, has really twanged my heart strings.
They all look so confused :'(
-
Marie & Marina are stunning :luv: :luv:
I'm sure they wont be waiting too long, fingers crossed.
-
They are all so beautiful.
Here's hoping they can be in their lovely new, warm and loving homes by Christmas. I guess they won't wait long.
-
Oh those poor dogs, I hope they find loving homes soon, Marmalade is just gorgeous :luv:
-
:'( :'( :'( :'(
All the cockers are beautiful, Margo the retriever is lovely too and Marley. I can't bear to think of anyone not wanting them :'(
-
Marnie is lovely!
It is such a shame :'(
-
Isnt it wonderful of Burns to offer to provide all the food she needs for her animals. That really touched me.
-
Why did I look, it makes me so sad :'( I hope they all get homes real soon.
Marnie what a gorgeous looking dog, she looks like my Cocker :luv:
Marmalade poor little thing looks so small, timid and afraid >:( hopefully a lot of love and understanding will sort that out for her!
Marina has lots of sadness in her eyes, I hope she gets her sparkle back :'(
Marie standing to attention, poor little thing :'(
I do so hope they aren't waiting long, they deserve so much better >:D

Did I miss that announcement Abby?? :D You finally caved to the temptation of another pupster then? :D :D
Marina is gorgeous, she's the one that's 'got' me too but I'm sure they will all find fab new homes soon :luv:

No - you didn't miss anything, it's a decision we've been coming round to for ages. But, and its a big but, I'm still really torn between getting a pup and a rescue. I would love to get a rescue, but OH is less sure. And as currently he's the one at home all day while I'm at work, I can't push too hard ::)
-
Thy are all gorgeous but they look so sad :'( I'm sure they won't be waiting long :luv:
-
Any news on any of these gorgeous girlies - I sooooo want them to have a loving home for Christmas
-
None have any 'being home vetted' I thought they would have a waiting list for cockers. Marie :luv: well, them all really :luv:
-
I really like Marnie....I look everyday and cant believe they are still there...
Am so tempted, but 2 young Cockers are enough (well that is what I keep telling myself!!)
-
oh why did i look??i have resisted looking at these girls for a couple of days but i weakened.
i would not be able to have one coz both my two haven't been neutered/spayed.i can't believe they haven't got the red writing.
-
I wish I never looked too :'( I so hope they get a nice loving home soon, most of us assume cocker spaniels are homed quickly but Sylvia told me once that some wait ages for their new homes not through the fault of the dogs but people just not looking .... keeping my fingers crossed that they are in their forever homes soon .....
-
It is so sad, they are all beautiful girls. :'( I suppose it is just the wrong time of year for things to happen fast. Most folks are caught up in the commercial worlwind of the 'C' word season. Let's hope someone can find room in their lives for these little girls and they are with a family soon. :huh:
-
I really should stop looking, it makes me feel sad & guilty that I can't help them. Marnie looks beautiful. I wonder how old she is?
-
I really wish I could give one of them a home. OH and I have said we'd like another but I really don't think its fair until Melody gets a little older. I'm praying and hoping they get the red writing soon :-\ :luv: :luv: :luv:
-
These 4 girlies have really got to me - especially the tri colour :luv: Please let them find a nice home soon..... :'(
-
Just to let you all no I'm waiting to hear from Many Tears as I'm trying to give a home to Marie. I've spoken to them and they have said that I have first refusal but they were going to test her reaction to cats as I have four. I can't wait to hear, maybe we'll be taking a long journey at the weekend as I live in Banbury. I'll keep you all informed!

wow - that is great news. I hope it goes well this weekend!!!!
Keep us posted :D

I am so pleased for you ;) and so jealous as they are gorgeous :luv:
I hope it all goes well for you I will keep my fingers crossed ;)
How did you choose as they are all lovely :-\
-
We also got in touch with Sylvia about giving Marie a home but Wand beat us to it, (at least as we are both live in Banbury I will get so see her if all goes well..) Keeping my fingers cross for you Wand. It seems as if they are being vetted GOOD NEWS.yes. :lol:
-
I enquired about all of them first and she said that Marina had gone but did I have a preference with the others. I just thought Marie looked so small and sweet, I'm sure Harvey would love her. I did think I'd be a bit concerned with the little golden one as they said she was very scared and I've got three children for her to contend with. Apparently they are all tested with children and if need be cats.
-
This is wonderful - hope all goes well and Marie has a new forever home for Christmas :D
-
We are doing a 10 hour round trip there tomorrow so hopefully if home vetting and the trip tomorrow go ok we will be bringing one home next week so it looks like they have plenty of interest.

Best of luck to the both of you :D

4 gorgeous girlies at many tears. guess they have a waiting list.
she doesnt "do" waiting list
-
Along with Lufbra who needs homevetting, it looks like 3 will be homed.
On the subject of the little scared one - our Peggy was from MT, and she would physically shake from fear - but you should see her now!!!!!!!!! :lol: Patience and gentleness are the key, although my kids can be quite noisy at times. The dog will learn to take it in her stride as long as she feels secure and safe.
Our other bossy dog Tia helped, although our grumpy one Jack didn't much. They showed her what to do.
We still have accidents, but they are generally in one spot - and that's kind of what cats do in their dirt boxes. Easily cleaned up! ::)
Peggy's personality has really blossomed. That scared little bundle has become an irrepressible bundle of joy! :luv:
So in short, don't be put off by the scared one!
I hope you are all successful. Sylvia and Bill can seem quite stern sometimes, but that's just because they want the best for their little ones.
-
i know he's not a cocker but i love milarkie :luv: :luv: :luv:
oh how i wish they would let me have him.
-
Good luck everyone. Lovely there has been so much interest in them.
My brother has e-mailed Sylvia about the pugs. He and his partner have been researching pug pups but would rather rescue. They adore all three but love Betsy so please keep your fingers croseed for them too!
-
i know he's not a cocker but i love milarkie :luv: :luv: :luv:
And me Lyn. :luv: I feel soooo sorry for the poor little thing. :'( It makes me so sad everytime I read those pages and he is still there.

I always check to see if Milarkie has gone yet! I wish someone would give him the chance :'( If my Cocker was a bit less jealous with other dogs in the home, (outside he is great with them) he would definately be the one for me :luv: I always push Milarkie when someone is enquiring about getting a dog ;)
-
Goodluck to everyone and fingers crossed . We have had two cockers from Many Tears and can't stress enough how great Bill and Sylvia are.

Just and update on adopting Marie. I've had a email from MT to say shes fine with cats and going to be spade early next week. They are going to arrange a home check and she should be ready to leave at the end of the week. I am soo excited, this week is really going to drag.
-
aww congratulations :D can you stick one of the others up your coat and drop her off here please.
-
could you imagine trying to hide a cocker under a coat, they can't keep their bum still!

Which one are you adopting, we're hopefully adopting Marie. Sorry to be a bit cheeky but if you get a chance could you have a sneak peak at Marie and let us know how she is, I'm so excited.
-

(glad to see one is coming to my part of the world - good peak district air is just what she needs!!)

Wow wend just caught up with this thread, typical not on for a few days and miss all the excitement. ;)
I'm sure the home check will be ok as it is a lovely home. :D
What a lovely xmas pressie you are giving to Marie, a forever home of her own. And of course to the other colers too. What great people you are.
Another cocker for Oska to play with yeh we are excited too.
:luv: sal/Oska

HURRAY
I am soooooo pleased that these gorgeous girls are getting forever homes
:luv: to you all Congratulations.
p.s. I was laughing imagining a cocker up someones coat - how inconspicous would that be :005: :005:

How did the visits go this weekend?
-
We didn't visit Marie this weekend. As we live along way away and know which dog we would like to adopt they are going to arrange a home visit first and then we'll go up later in the week.

Oh wonderful news, I kept looking at her as she reminds me of the Cocker we had called Spot. He came into our lives (thanks to PennyB) aged thirteen and lived to the grand age of 16.
Hope all goes well. Just imagine her being in a lovely home environment soon.
-
Hello all,
Just checked out the website and was happy to see the red writing on there :blink:
Well done to all of you who are re-homing. :D
I've been reading up on poor Cas's story, i know she's a Springer, but to be so young and deaf - poor girlie. :'(
Fingers crossed for her please!!

marie hasnt got a "home bieng vetted on her?
-
I know, I keep checking. I've just emailed them to see if they have a date for a home check for me. I've been waiting since Friday but I didn't want to pester them as they are probably very busy.
-
I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, but I've been in touch with them about Marmalade!!! ph34r
She is so very like my little bear, Jeeves, and I just want to sweep her up and cuddle her.
Am working on the OH so watch this space!!
-
Not a cocker i know but i but i offered to have Cas the springer. But as Iz isn't spayed yet, it is not possible.
-

Good Luck working on your OH. Marmalade made me want to cry, :'( she looks absolutely petrified, poor thing. If it hadn't been for my two young tearaways, I think I would have been beating a path to get to her.
-
did someone from COL take Marnie???
-
omg he has a forever home.i am crying i am soo happy for him.how strange it will be logging on to mt and not seeing him,i am happy for him but a bit sad i won't see him again.

I'm so glad Milarkie has a new home. :luv: :luv:
I hope it works out for him. He did look quite at home in the photos. :005:

So happy that Milarkie found a new home. I met him when I was down there last month and he is just lovely :luv: :luv:
I really fell for a gorgeous little (spayed) JRT bitch called Dilly when I was there but couldn't even be considered for rehoming as Alfie is entire :'( Although she has since been rehomed :blink:
-
Hiya,
Miracles do happen....lovely Milarkie has a home - how great is that?
Just checked up on Many Tears w-site, DP sees to be down at the moment?, and all the cockers but Marmalade have the red writing and also bestest of all......
Cas the little deaf springer girlie has the red writing as well.
Thats really made my day :D
Ali :blink:
-
Wonderful they all hopefully have new forever homes :D
Fingers crossed for Marmalade too :luv:
-
I'm praying that Marmalade gets a home soon :angel:. She looks soooo sad and vunerable in the gentleman's arms. Please please let her find a loving kind home!
-
Marmalade is about to get a fab new home...
We are going to adopt her!! Parker and Ronald are aboutto get a new sister!!
I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo thrilled!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Ooh, that's so exciting.
Will you keep her name?
Lots of photos as she settles in please.
-
No, her new name will be Mrs Bridges!!
Oh yes, there will be loads of photos to come and I will need lots of advice from you good folk as apparently she is not house trained - gulp!
-
Nicky that is absolutely fantastic - you are such an :angel:
How is the lovely Parker :luv: :luv:
-
Thank you Michelle, she just tugged at my heart strings and I could not get her out of my mind!
Parker continues to do magnificently, thank you. He has his new handmade boots for his back paws as he still drags them a little and if he is out for a long time, his paws get very sore. However, even this is improving by the day and I suspect that he will only need to wear them for a couple more weeks. He's such a happy dog now, it is lovely to see. We just hope and pray that it never happens again ph34r.
I'll keep you all posted on Marmalade Mrs Bridges'! progress!!
-
That's brilliant. you are a star

Nicky that's fantastic news. :D
How long until you get her? Can't wait to see lots of piccies of her. ;)
-
:D :D YAYYYYY!!!!!! I am so pleased for Marma Bridges. :005:
Well done Nicky, I wept when I saw her on the site. I cannot wait to see how she progresses. :luv:
-
:luv: :luv:
Awwww made my night that has, what an :angel: you are, can't wait to see pics xxxxxxxx
-
Aaaw that is great news. She looks so scared in the pic, I am sure that she will get her confidence and her cocker wag back after settling in with you all. Do you know when you are going to get her?
-
Oh, that is fab news. All those cockers getting lovely new homes and best of all we will be able to keep up to date with them on here! :D :D
-
Hi all,
Not sure when we will pick her up - when I contatced them earlier in the week they said she was due to be spayed etc. but should be available by the end of the week. However, because of the mammoth distance we have to travel (we're in Northumberland, right up on the Scottish border!!) I don't think I'll be able to get down until early next week.
However, I will keep you all posted!! :D
-
Hi Jeeves. That's wonderful news about Mrs Bridges joining your family. We adopted a puppy farm cocker (Millie) from Many Tears two years ago. And we don't live too far from you - other side of the Pennines in Cumbria. So if we can help in any way, do let us know.
-
Great News, we've had our homecheck done this morning and everything was fine.
Hopefully this weekend we'll be collecting Marie. We have decided that we will change her name to Summer.

Yayyyyy!! Welcome to COL Summer. Love the name.

Well, I emailed MT last night to say that we definitely would take Marmalade but I have not had a reply! I'm getting a bit worried in case she goes elsewhere :-\
I tried ringing but the answer machine message said not to leave messages about adoptions so I've emailed again. Hope they get back to me, I can't bear to think of not having her here!
Annie, thanks for the offer of help - that is very kind of you. I'll keep you posted! ;)
-
Jeeves, I know it's difficult but I don't think you need to worry about the lack of a reply from Sylvia at MT. It often takes her a couple of days to catch up with emails, especially if she's got a lot of dogs to cope with (which she certainly has at the moment!). And she doesn't want messages left because she can't afford to return all the calls. If she agreed to reserve Marmalade while you made up your mind, she won't let her go elsewhere. I can remember chewing my fingernails because there was no red writing against Millie's name, even though it was all agreed and I was preparing for the long drive south. It eventually showed up ten minutes before I left (and a week after we emailed to say we wanted her). Have you been homevetted yet?
-
Congratulations to all on their adoptions! :D :D

I know exactly how you feel. We're adopting Marie and this week I have been a nervous wreck. I spoke to them on the Friday last week and heard nothing until Tuesday when they said they was struggling to find a homevetter in our area. I'm still waiting again for them to confirm that they have spoken to the Homevetter and that its all OK. They did say in their last email that they have been particularly busy and she struggling to keep up with all the emails. The red writing took ages to appear so I really wouldn't worry too much I'm sure they'll be in touch soon. You only have to look at the amount of new arrivals to see how busy they must be.
-
Well done to all of you taking on these rescue girls, I hope that you have lots of years and happy times together.
-
Well, I have bad news.
I did get a reply and they seem to think we are not suitable for Marmalade - below is the email they sent me... (I run a livery yard and take Parker and Ronald to work with me)
Hi, Ihave had word back from Sylvia.
Marmalade is really nervous and she doesnt know if she would suit your work regime - would be petrified of horses and open spaces. She couldnt cope with being left alone if you were to take your other 2 dogs out and as she doesnt go on a lead she cannot go out with you all.
Do you have any way of settling her in before going out to work for a while? What hours are you usually out of the house each day?
Regards
I have emailed back and pointed out that the last thing I would do is take her to the stables on day one and chuck her out of the car amidst 16 horses!! Parker stays in the car until all the horses are safely in the field as he has not got good eyesight and can't get out of the way quickly, and I would do the same with Marmalade. I also pointed out that it took us ages to get Parker used to open space - to begin with he would not go on the grass, just the driveway and I had to carry him outside every time he needed a wee.
I feel really deflated. We were prepared to drive a round trip of almost 1,000 miles to bring her home to a marvellous home but it looks as though it's not to be. I cannot imagine who on earth is suitable if we aren't :'(
-
:'( I don't know what to say.
-
Don't give up just yet. They're still asking you questions, maybe you could suggest that you would leave Marmalade at home with one of the other dogs to start with and pop back at lunch time. It does say on their website that they can be left for upto 4 hours with another dog but not on their own.
-
Great News, we've had our homecheck done this morning and everything was fine.
Hopefully this weekend we'll be collecting Marie. We have decided that we will change her name to Summer.
Hi Wend, thats great news, good luck for the weekend and keep us posted. Summer is a lovely name was that a family decision.

Jeeves --- it only really looks like Sylvia is asking questions re certain things
I will close this thread for now and have opened another for Marmalade.
