KateG@ESSW Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oakley Age: 6 Sex: Male Location: St Albans, Hertfordshire Can be re-homed with children: No - Teens and above Can be re-homed with cats: Yes - Calm confident cats Can be re-homed with dogs: Yes possibly Neutered: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Microchipped: Yes Tail: Full Dock As you can see Oakley is a gorgeous show type Springer of excellent pedigree and very well mannered, he has a good standard of obedience training and walks wonderfully on a collar and lead, a rarity for a Springer, and is also well behaved off lead. So why is Oakley needing a new home? Oakley can be possessive around food and high value items, his current owners have a growing family and are finding it increasingly difficult to manage Oakley and the other dog in there house whilst the children have food around them. Oakley gets on very well with the other dog but will attack him when there is food around, this in itself is obviously very dangerous with little people around so his owners have decided to find Oakley a new home where he doesn't have all these temptations around him and feel the need to protect. He has on occasion also 'borrowed' items and hidden under the dining room table refusing to give them back, our advice would be to turn this into a game and teach him to swap, something that one of our foster carers has done very successfully recently and would be happy to talk to any potential owner about. The last thing we want to do is make out that Oakley is a monster, he so definitely is not, in his assessor's words "Oakley is 99.9% of excellent temperament especially with people, he would really thrive in a home with no young children and possibly as an only dog" We feel that a knowledgeable home with another dog present with experience of food possession could be considered also. Oakley is used to company so a retired couple or a home where there is someone home most of the time would be perfect for Oakley.
