Gem is a 4yr old small liver and white Springer spaniel girl (10.5kg)
she is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, flea and worm treated and has also had a full dental with us needing extractions due to a poor diet in her former life. She has a clean bill of health and will be rehomed with 5 weeks free pet insurance.
Gem came to us from the stray pound, we know she was kept as an outside dog previously and had been bred from, she was underweight and nervous but soon really blossomed with us. As with most of the dogs with this background, all she has known is other dogs so she 100% needs to be rehomed with either another resident neutered dog (ideally spaniel type) or she could be paired with another of our spaniels here at the rescue.
Gem is a real sweetheart, she has a loving nature with everyone and although can be a little shy at first, once she knows you aren't going to be harsh with her, she bonds quickly and loves fuss and attention.
She is a typical busy, high energy springer who LOVES to run, she
charges round out paddock and enclosed land and although she does have some recall its not brilliant as she is so caught up running and exploring and following scents so she would really either need access to a secure area to be let off or walked on a very long training line so she can have some freedom in safety. This recall can of course be worked on further in her new home.
Gem doesn't have any separation anxiety but she does love to try and follow you wherever you go and will work out how to get through or over 5 bar gates to come with you, this girl can jump! so she will need a really secure garden with nice high secure fencing. She will need to live in a more rural location as she has never been used to a busy built up area, so somewhere with easy access to nice country walks is perfect.
She walks ok on the lead, travels well in the car, her housetraining
is generally good, she was excellent with the vets (they loved her)
and she sleeps downstairs quietly at night with no issues. She could potentially live with a dog savvy cat, she definitely needs at least one other dog in the home and we are happy to rehome her with sensible children aged 5yrs and over.
Being fostered in Swadlincote, Derbys but can be rehomed further
afield subject to homecheck and adoption donation of £300
