Title: Foster home needed asap for young working cocker: four paws
Post by: PennyB on August 13, 2008, 12:08:06 PM
Meet Alfie

We had a young (liver and white) working cocker handed in last night.

He was born at end of October last year and is basically a typical young hoodlum

He is scared of Kirsty's cats ;) and loves playing ball.

Any new foster carers would have to pass a homecheck by us. He will be neutered before he's rehomed (or fostered if foster carer outside Wales).

He will be coming to our dog show on saturday if anyone wants to meet him (and possibly Della our tricoloured girl).

No pix as yet but I am seeing him later today

I would so love to help and foster but i already have 2 young pups of my home.

Fingers crossed someone finds him a happy home  :luv:

Look forward to meeting the fosterlings saturday :D

We're having a parade of all the dogs we can take there that are needing new/foster homes (possibly in the break just after the pedigree classes)

We may disappoint some people re this boy but I hope people will understand we have this boys best interests at heart ;)

Have just met this boy and he's absolutely gorgeous --- he's just like a jarvis :luv:

And those ungrateful, heartless cretins were going to KILL him.   >:D >:D >:D  He is SOOO beautiful, even if he is a handful at the moment.  I'm looking forward to the foster-stories.

He is beautiful, I'm just so glad I don't live near you because the temptation would be too great and Willow is only 6 months old.

Oh wow  :luv: :luv: :luv: :luv:

I'd happily foster him but Dave still has his 'bits' too... and if I needed another reason for getting rid of them, this would be it  :lol:!!!

I'm sure you'll get lots of offers for him but if you don't, just shout!

I can imagine he will get a lot of interest but as I said earlier it will only be with people we feel are good for him in the long run, so am afraid its a no to families with young children as he would be too much for them at the moment and its not worth the risk him bouncing.

We met this lovely boy on Saturday and had to break Brackens heart by saying he couldn't come home with us, she was smitten  :luv:

Hopefully he'll find a foster home and permanent home soon  :D

He was bootiful!
He had lovely manners and was a 'Jarv' lookalike!
I did have a spare cage in the boot too! (But I didn't get the opportunity to dog nap him)
Glad the show went well, I was unable to stay as my chest infection was taking it's toll. >:D

Hope he finds his forever home soon  :luv:

It was last saturday... There are shows on this weekend, maybe worth sending an email to the enquiries@fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk to find out more, they are both cardiff/caerphilly way.

Yes, hopefully Alfie et al may be appearing in Aberdare on saturday (which is about 8 miles north of Cardiff) and Nelson on monday (near Ystrad Mynach, north of Caerphilly).

Yes, lovely to see you Sam on saturday but you really didn't look well. Glad you got to see the lovely Alfie :luv: though

I thought I was seeing a pic of Braan  :o
His paws are exactly like Braans but he has more feathering on his tail than Braan

Hope he finds a forever loving home like Braan has  :luv: :-*

Well if anyone wants to come along to see him he will be appearing at the weekend at either the aberdare show or the hope show in Nelson (South Wales). I think we may also have converted a shepherd lover into a cocker lover as well ;)
