Liza was previously used for breeding in a puppy farm and has learned very quickly how much fun it is to live in a house, she spent some time in a kennel rescue with the other dogs removed from the same situation and then came to SRS to start learning how to live in a family home, safe to say she has adapted wonderfully and is ready now to find her forever home.
A little bit about Liza: She is a lovely dog, extremely affectionate and willing to please. She likes to be as close to you as possible and be involved in everything you do. Her playful side is emerging, she has enjoyed playing with the resident 4-year-old springer and she is discovering toys. She is gentle and she has integrated herself into my group of dogs beautifully and is already familiar with our food and exercise routines. She has become toilet trained very quickly although of course a few accidents may happen when she goes to her new home. She's a quick learner. She adores her humans!
Home Life:
She loves the company of other dogs and settles down with them beautifully. Having said that, because she has come from a situation where she had nothing, she occasionally demonstrated some resource guarding of me, of a dog bed and of toys but this has improved significantly after only a few weeks in foster.
She will benefit from a calm canine companion.
She walks beautifully on a harness. She is in foster in a very rural area and she has been very interested in the sheep we have passed, it seems likely at this stage she would potentially chase them. She has little recall as yet especially when she is busy with her nose. Walks were mainly in remote quiet areas in the first few weeks of foster so she did not encounter other dogs on our walks. She has now been walked in much busier areas and was very well behaved with all the dogs she met, and greeted them politely. She loves to run and play with my young springer but tires and rests so her exercise should be increased gradually as she becomes fitter.
She has not met children or cats, but is happy to welcome visitors to the home but prefers to sit at her foster persons feet while.
Visiting the vet: Liza has had her routine healthcheck and is fit and well. She has previously had surgery for “cherry eye”, and now has a wee droopy eye and needs eye gel applied twice a day, which she accepts easily. Springer Rescue Scotland will support this eye condition for Liza’s lifetime.
Behavioural issues: Lisa will need an experienced owner who has the ability to continue to help her adapt to life in a family home.
Home needs: SRS Liza would like a calm, quiet home where she can decompress after what has clearly been a difficult time for her. She has come on in leaps and bounds in foster and will make a wonderful companion. She is fine with other dogs and would benefit from being with another dog for confidence. A secure garden for her to potter in, and regular interesting walks would be ideal.
Ongoing support: Springer Rescue for Scotland will be available for any support with your new dog and can offer behavioural support in case of any problems that may arise on adopting a dog, this includes funding the ongoing eye gel she needs.
