Reign

So before you apply I have to ask you two questions

One – do you want a dog that is like Velcro – I do have some separation anxiety in a new environment but over time I will settle, feel secure and just be the bestest. I can stick to my human like Velcro and don’t have a problem following you anywhere you go.

And second question do you like to snuggle close and often? If the answer is yes to both of these – keep reading!!

My name is Reign and I am a 9 month old Cocker Spaniel who loves to be with his humans and loves to just be a part of the family.

I am looking for a home where there is a lap spare for me to sit on / lay on / lay over / stand on anytime / you know just be close to him. I am even happy to share your work chair with you if you work from home. Or a bed close to your desk while you work – I am happy to snooze nearby.

I do still of course have some bursts of energy thru the day and evening and that is when a walk is a good idea or some play time and then of course the follow up cuddle and snuggle time!

I came into care from a private surrender due to personal reasons for them.

My foster mums says I currently weigh 11.2kgs

I am learning lead training but love the thought of you and me spending time together walking as one I love to be with you. I also love to smell everything as we walk it's really a very social activity for me. I also have been learning how to sit (if prompted) before crossing the road – look at me go!!!

I love to play with toys and if you leave your socks anywhere I’m very happy to play with them as well!

I have lived with other dogs before and do fine with one or two but too many can be a bit overwhelming for me. The rescue has been working with me that when I’m with other dogs i can't simply walk over them to get my humans or give a little growl when they want to go on my foster mum's lap. I am currently in a foster carer home with no other dogs but that is not a prerequisite, my foster mum regularly has her mum's border collie visit. My foster mum says cause I'm still only a baby and learning.

I am not tested on cats and my foster mum says it really could go either way

I have been around kids and cause I'm still young and excitable on something I can accidentally knock them over, squish them, but a 10 year old boy I hung out with for some testing was fine with me/

As i am still young I would love a home where someone either works from home, retired, shift workers etc etc etc someone that i can hang out with, work with me on my training and just generally be my 'buddy'

I do have lovely manners (but as I’m still young sometimes my foster mum says my ears distract me but we are working on it! I do know how to sit for a treat! Food is definitely a good motivator!

When I first came into care I was very nervous and drolly when going in the car, I am getting better but still can be a bit hesitant getting in and may need a little help getting into the car.

My foster mum says I have a typical Cocker Spaniel coat and do require regular grooming and brushing - especially the ears!

So if you think I sound like your type of fur friend please send in an application to the rescue!
