💙 Tommy is still searching for the right home. Tommy have settled in a foster and picking up routines and some basic commands. He is high energy (as are all spaniels!) he loves a good run which he's loved! His recall isn't too bad. He can be quite mouthy and grabs hold/drags on clothes, but if can be trained.
💙 Tommy is 2 years old male English Springer Spaniel, born around October 2023, lower-medium in size, full of warmth, affection and typical spaniel enthusiasm. He is sensitive, people-focused and bonds closely with his humans, thriving on closeness, reassurance and shared life.

💔 Background
Tommy was originally purchased as an eight-week-old puppy by an elderly couple. As he grew, he did not receive the structure, training or confidence-building young spaniels benefit from. More recently, changes in his owners’ health meant they could no longer care for him, he spent long time crated, wasn’t walked properly and finally he was surrendered to our rescue.
Since then, Tommy has shown how loving and devoted he can be in a home environment, but his past experiences appear to have left him feeling unsafe around certain people, particularly elderly individuals. This is something that can be worked through with time, guidance and the right setting.
🐾 More About Tommy
This is what the family says about him after 5 days since he arrived:
“Tommy is a lovely boy who loves his humans. He enjoys being close to his human and loves to be cuddled, stroke and generally loved. Tommy has been left alone for short periods of time with no issue. I am sure with time to settle and as his confidence grows in his forever home the time he can be left alone can be extended.
Tommy walks well on a lead, he can become excited to see birds and other dogs in true Spaniel style!! Tommy’s family will need to be committed spending time with him and training him to improve his typical Spaniel behaviours.
Tommy’s ideal home would be in a semi rural area with an active owner. Tommy has spent time with other dogs both in the home and in the community with no issue. Although he can sometimes bark if he is unsure and will look to his owner for reassurance.
Tommy sleeps well through the night and enjoys spending time chilling as much as he loves the outdoors!
🏡 Ideal Home
Tommy needs a semi-rural or rural environment with fewer everyday triggers, an active, confident active not elderly owner, and a predictable routine. He will thrive with someone who enjoys walking, training and engaging with a young spaniel’s mind and energy.
💞 Tommy is affectionate, eager to connect and full of potential. He simply needs the right environment and understanding to move forward positively. If you can offer him a foster or foster-to-adopt home, you could make all the difference at a crucial moment.
