Fee Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Kizzi is a beautiful 13 year old Blue Roan Cocker Spaniel who had to find a new home due to a change in her owner's circumstances. Kizzi is currently residing in an Oldies Club foster home in Feltham, Middlesex, waiting patiently for somebody to offer her a permanent home. Kizzi is an affectionate girl with a lovely temperament and gentle nature. She gets on well with everyone that she meets, including children, other dogs and even cats. She settled into her foster home within a few hours and has been well behaved from day one. Great with dogs: Kizzi is sharing her foster home with another dog and they get on very well. Kizzi's previous owner told us that she wasn't really interested in other dogs, but since arriving in Oldies Club care she has been very playful with her foster sister and likes to stay close to her on walks. She also gets on well with dogs outside of the house and greets them all with a polite sniff and wag of the tail. Fantastic with cats: There are two cats in her foster home and Kizzi is fantastic with them. She is perfectly happy to watch their escapades from the comfort of her bed and doesn't intrude on their personal space. She hasn't shown any desire or inclination to give chase inside or outside of the house, which is further testament to her gentle nature. Good with children of all ages: Since arriving in foster, Kizzi has been visited by a five year old child and a teenager with learning difficulties. She was very gentle and well behaved with them both and greeted them nicely. She is also great with children that she meets when out on walks and will happily allow them to make a fuss of her (which is just as well as children do tend to gravitate towards her!). She has previously lived with a very young child (10 months old) and was said to be no trouble at all. Loves walks: Despite her age, Kizzi is still very active and loves her walks. She can hardly contain her excitement when she sees her lead and can't wait to get going! She can easily manage long walks (3 hours plus) but is also content with a short potter around the local park. She currently goes out for a 45 minute walk in the morning, 30 minutes in the afternoon and 30 minutes in the evening – but she would adapt easily to any routine. As her hearing isn't 100%, Kizzi doesn't have much in the way of recall. But she will respond to a loud whistle and is also starting to respond to hand signals (particularly if you have a treat with you!). Her foster mum allows her off lead in the local park as it is securely gated and Kizzi tends to stay close by. However, in busy area she is kept on an extendable lead as she is easily distracted by interesting smells and likes to scavenge! Great in the home: Kizzi is fine to be left for reasonable periods of time without any problems, as long as she has been walked and (most importantly) fed first – the way to Kizzi's heart is definitely through her stomach! She is used to being fed when she first gets up in the morning and will whine for her food. She is housetrained and will stand at the door or bark if she needs to go out. Apart from some whinging around meal times, Kizzi is a quiet dog and rarely barks. She isn't demanding of attention and is easily contented. She is a real character and has lots of little quirks that will keep you entertained – like her obsession with hoarding shoes in her bed! Health notes: Kizzi has been spayed, microchipped, flea and worm treated – she will be vaccinated before going to her new home. Since arriving in foster she has been treated for an ear and eye infection, for which she was prescribed drops. She has also just finished a course of anti-biotics for a gum infection. All have cleared up nicely, but as she is a spaniel, she will need her ears cleaned regularly to prevent infections. In the past, Kizzi has suffered from pancreatitis and therefore needs to be fed on a very bland diet to prevent it recurring. However, this isn't a problem as Kizzi has a very healthy appetite and will devour whatever you put in front of her! Kizzi's perfect home: She would fit into almost any home and will make a wonderful companion. Her foster carer tells us "Whoever gets to adopt Kizzi will be very lucky indeed. To describe Kizzi in four words I would say; beautiful, loving, affectionate and quirky! " ————- If you can offer Kizzi a permanent home, please refer to our Adoption Procedures for information about the adoption process.
