Gorgeous Teddy is looking for his forever home after being with us for some time to manage his obesity and have bilateral patella surgeries. Teddy is 3 years old and looking for a home with at least one other dog.
Teddy came to the rescue in sad circumstances from a loving home. Unfortunately, he was more than 5kg overweight and had grade 3-4 luxating patellas on both knees.
He did fantastically well with his weight loss on a low-fat, sensitive diet that must continue in his forever home. He is now at the perfect weight, and we must ensure his adopter does not allow him to gain weight. He has had orthopaedic surgery on both knees with a specialist, which we worked extremely hard to fundraise for. He has recently been signed off by the orthopaedic specialist following his 6-week post-op x-rays. He is now building up his exercise, and his prognosis is excellent. He will need to be appropriately exercised and continue to build this up, but is expected to be able to exercise normally for his breed, i.e. 2-3 miles a day, with no issues.
He is heart-clear. Teddy has dry eye and is being treated for it, which must be continued. He is neutered and up to date with vaccinations and parasite preventatives.
Teddy is a cheeky boy. He can be pretty ignorant—quite common in the breed! So if he is busy sniffing something then you will be ignored! He loves to be with his pals and walks and travels well with them. He is anxious if he goes out on his own, but he has always lived with another dog, so this is what he is used to.
He is an easy-going chap who loves a fuss and has a lovely nature. He likes to bark at squirrels and birds—just the typical Spaniel stuff. He is not great with cats as he loves to chase them. Teddy prefers to be with you at night and sleep in the same room as you. He is great to be handled and groomed.
Teddy is looking for a loving home where his adopters are around most of the time. He cannot live with cats and needs a home with at least one other dog. Children 8+ would be ok.
Teddy is in foster in North Lincolnshire. His adopter(s) must purchase a comprehensive insurance policy, or have the means to cover future health issues. His knees will be excluded from insurance cover so do be mindful of this. Please research costs before submitting an application. Home workers must be able to produce a contract/or a letter from their employer. Tenants must send a letter from their landlord stating they have permission to have the dog at their property.
Please only apply when you have discussed this with all family members, are committed to offering the dog a home, and have fully considered their needs.
The successful applicants must be able to travel to the foster home for the meet and greet and be immediately available for a home check. The meet and greet must occur within five days of a successful home check. Can we please remind you not to telephone the rescue regarding adoptions at any time.
