Lovely little black working cocker bitch at the Hamilton SSPCA, they want a special home for her - a family and a garden as she has come into rescue because the owners baby is in intensive care and they couldn't cope. She is lovely. She is being rehomed by the SSPCA so there is a donation etc.
She is black with a white chest, if you are ringing up to ask about her then ask to speak to Clare Russell and say Freya told you about her because they have not put her up for general rehoming so she gets a nice cocker home :D
-
OMG Freya don't do this to me... Hamilton is only 20 minutes away from me... :'( :'(
What's her name?
-
she didn't tell me her name so I don't know it, just spotted her through the kennel when Clare asked me to look at her
-
Awww she sounds lovely and if we were another year down the line I would be sooooo tempted. I hope she finds the perfect cocker home soon :luv:
-
Oh dear, going to speak nicely to OH
-
who ever goes to see her will fall in love as she has the most beautiful wee face, I meant to take a picture of her with my phone, but forgot ::)
-
Do you know if she's had any training Freya? How big is she?
I really shouldn't be asking anything at all but a wee black worker... and so close ph34r Don't think I could cope with another monster cocker the same size as my two though :005:
-
she has been a family pet so doubt there is any training, but this is the SSPCA we are talking about, they don't rehome to people working full time so the decision would be made for you Nic.
-
Am going to phone

Really? Even with dog walkers etc. already in place as I have? Probably just as well though cos I really shouldn't even think about another rescue just now ::)
Go Rhona though! :D
-
*Fingers crossed Rhona* I want her to go to a COL'er so I can see her at meets (actually I just want her to go to a knowledgeable home but you know what I mean :D) I'm broody for another doglet ::)
-
Only getting an answring machine answer, I will keep trying.
Very excited!
-
Best wishes to you, Rhona. I think I see a happy ending for this girl very soon. :D
-
Guess where I am going? Bye
-
Aw - good luck !!
-
please let us know what happens?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I hope its a happy outcome for you Rhona :D (keeping everything crossed for you)
-
hope all goes well :D good luck!
-
This is sooooo exciting.
Hurry Rhona. I'm very impatient :D
-
Its so good to hear or dogs being rehomed in a forever home. Tell all Rhona.. I hope its good news!
-
How exciting, really hope it is good news :D
-
Good Luck Rhona!!!!
-
Rhona you dark horse!! Sam would love a wee friend :luv:
Let us know how you get on!
-
:D Oh how exciting Rhona, am keeping everything crossed for you, she sounds perfect :luv:
-
Ok back now. Freya is right she is lovely.
There are a couple of issues which have been highlighted with regard to whether we are right for her and she us. We are having a chat about it just now.
It is quite difficult because your main instinct is just to bring her home but their points are valid and do need consideration because I would be broken hearted to have to return her and obviously there may be a better home for her.
-
Whatever happens, it will be for the best, for both of you.... lets just hope it involves her living with you!!! :D
-
My update....
I phoned the rescue to go back with the kids and Sam and they have decided that we would not be right for Jess.
For you who know my Sam this does not need a big explanation. He is lovely but can be slighty hysterical. They think she would be better homed either as an only dog or with a calmer one.
If anyone is thinking about going to see her please go. She is a lovely girl. She needs work on her walking on lead but is soft and friendly and lovely bright little thing and I am a little bit gutted.
-
So sorry Rhona :'(
I'm sure Sam's perfect friend is out there somewhere :luv:
And I hope little Jess finds her forever home soon too :luv:
-
:'( Oh No. I felt for sure a happy ending was just round the corner there.
That is such a shame but if she would not be right and happy then I guess its for the best. Keep looking, Sam perfect pal is out there just weaiting to meet him.
I hope Jess gets a home soon. :luv:
-
What a shame but it's nice to know the rescue has her interests at heart ... the right home is waiting for her ... hope she finds it soon
-
AW Rhona, I have just read this. I am sorry, But hopefully it is for the best (for all of you),
Hope she finds the perfect home soon.
-
what a shame as I think you have a lovely home to offer Rhona
-
Thank you Freya. I really wished it had worked out differently but I could envisage the difficulties.
I will keep revisiting this thread because I really hope this little girl find a suitable forever home.
I had decided a while ago that I wanted another. I don't have any special wish list (well I apart from I would like a cocker but not fussed about what type or colour) and I am not sure that I want a puppy so I will bide my time.
-
sorry to hear this, but sometimes these things happen for the best, and as others have said, the rescue people have best interests at heart, so I'm here's hoping little Jess will find her forever home :blink: - I will also keep watching this thread....
best wishes Rhona
-
you should have taken a camera so we could put up a picture
-
Rhona sorry it didn't work out for you :'(
Hope she finds her forever home soon :luv:
-
Ah Rhona I'm sorry (this makes more sense now) A hard decision but for the right reasons I'm sure. I'm sure she find a fantastic home and that you and your family, and of course Sam, will find the perfect companion to welcome in to your home too :luv:
T xx
-
;) Sorry it didn't work out Rhona, but sounds like you've made the right decision for your family and for Jess.
:'( Surely there's someone on COL for her???????(http://4fxearth.net/phpBB2/smilies_mod/upload/d6954bbe44b0aa08f2efed9c7284ce9f.gif)[img width= height= alt=Crying 3]http://img90.exs.cx/img90/2365/k1ocray.gif[/img]

Just caught this thread. Sorry things didn't work out rhona but I'm sure there is a perfect wee pal for Sam out there somewhere :shades:
-
Aw sorry it didn't work out, but better to find out now than after you have brought her home :blink:
she has been a family pet so doubt there is any training, but this is the SSPCA we are talking about, they don't rehome to people working full time so the decision would be made for you Nic.

Go Rhona though! :D
Sorry to hijak the thread but I'm with you on this Nicola. If they refuse a good owner just on the grounds that they work full time , even if arangements are in place, then it's ridiclious ::)
Hope she finds her home soon :D
-
Sorry it didn't work out for all of you Rhona. :-\ You know that now we all know you are thinking about another one, links of all shapes and sizes will be winging their way into your pm box :shades: ph34r
Hope this little girl finds her forever home soon. :luv:
-
Have passed on details of this wee dog to a friend - she is looking after my Twix at the moment since I am working away - and has become smitten by her cocker charms!!!
-
I just wondered if anyone had heard anything else about Jess?
Hopefully this post will bring her to someone's attention!
-
Sorry to hear things didn't work out for all of you but I'm sure it won't be long before she finds a loving permanent home. I must admit I'm very tempted as it would be lovely for Jet to have a friend at home and it's great to have more than 1 dog - especially on walks! :lol: but we are in Staffordshire. I'm sure you will find the perfect friend for Sam. Things always happen for a reason. Good luck to you all!!
