Need help, not diet related

[Loraine518]

I'm sorry this is not diet related but we have fallen in love with a beautiful rescue dog and there will be lots of people who want him, so I am asking you all please to send us good luck vibes, we have 3 spaniels, but he has stolen our hearts.

[Lytham 3 stone]

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Lytham]

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to Loraine518]

Beautiful Loraine.😊

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Lytham]

Thank you x

[Greendream123]

It's lovely that the dog will get a loving new family, I hope he gets placed with you, fingers crossed.

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Greendream123]

Thank you he has had a tough start but we could give him so much love 😊

[lucigret]

He’s beautiful, wishing you good luck, you obviously know your stuff with Spaniels.

I have 1 and have to say she’s enough to handle!

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to lucigret]

We have 3 and one more would fit in well and he so deserves a great home.

[lucigret]

Our’s was the off spring of a rescue dog. Her parents were both so calm, not this one! What is it with the zig zag walking 🤣😂

Our dog before was a rescue dog as well. Keep thinking positive 😁

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to lucigret]

,We have one rescue, I just feel like he is so beautiful so many others will want him and as we have 3, we may be overlooked. One of ours walks in circles round us, which causes a few issues, but we manage,

I will be positive, thank you 😊

[Northlondongirl in reply to Loraine518]

I think as you already have 3 you will be an ideal candidate! Sending you lots of luck xx

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Northlondongirl]

Thank you xx

[springersrule Moderator Host 76kg]

Oh he looks gorgeous Lorraine. All the fingers, toes and paws are crossed here for you. I think the fact that you are already spaniel owners will be a huge tick next to your name not get you passed over. Best of luck, he'd be a very lucky boy to live with you xx With spaniels, there's always room for one more 😂😂💖 xx

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to springersrule]

Thank you springersrule, we did say we wouldn't get any more but he just really got to me and as you say there's always room for one more xxx

[MissisB 4 stone]

Just a tip. The Rescue I am involved with prefer people who are smitten with the dog’s personality and character over looks.

Hoping you do manage to adopt the lovely boy though.

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to MissisB]

Thank you I know they try to match dogs to the right people, but thinking about it they do like the dogs to go to members of the fundraising group I belong to, so maybe we are in with a chance. I don't know how many others have applied though.

All the best in adding to your family, radiating as many good luck vides as we can.

Mrs Tank, Tilly 🐶 (who is a rescue dog from Greece) and I have our fingers firmly crossed 🤞

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Tank_EG]

Thank you, the main thing is that he gets a wonderful new home, but it would be lovely if it was with us.

Keeping everything crossed for you. X

It can be a bit of a maze at first but come here as often as you can and keep heading back to the Pinned Posts and it will fall into place.

I should have mentioned, in case you're using the app, it doesn't reach all parts so you're better getting rid of it and using the browser to access the website

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Trishe]

Thankyou xx

[Paulssis 2st 7lbs]

Everything crossed for you. Good luck on hopefully achieving your wish. Can tell he will be one lucky dog if you are chosen to be his mummy, and I so wish there were more people on this earth so caring to our animal population. 🤞

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Paulssis]

Thank you, it's heart-breaking seeing all their sad little faces, I would help them all if I could. We do what we can with donations and fundraising, but it's never enough.

[Hidden]

Wishing you guys the best of luck for an addition to the family. I was watching dog house yesterday with dinner so hard to resist getting a dog x

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Hidden]

I know I would have hundreds if I could afford it 😂x

[Cat33 Restart Dec 2023]

Aww he is exactly like our sons spaniel who is the love of our lives We haven't been able to see him since October due to Covid and I ache to give him a cuddle again So I'm sending loads and loads of luck that you get him ☘️🤞xx

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Cat33]

Thank you, one of mine is very similar only he's brown, I really hope you get to see him soon, my spaniels have really helped me through the last year. xx

[Cat33 Restart Dec 2023 in reply to Loraine518]

I really hope you get your new dog Spaniels are so beautiful those eyes 🤗I am keeping everything crossed we see him after the 29th when we are allowed to meet in the garden We saw him last night on facetime but it's not the same 💕

This past year has been awful and pets have been such a wonderful comfort I'm glad you have your beautiful dogs to get you through these rotten old times

Looking forward to hearing your news on here soon

Good luck

[setterlover]

Best of luck with your quest. I look forward to seeing you back on here telling us the good news.

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to setterlover]

I will keep you posted.

[H4CS 3 stone]

There is nobody I love more than a rescuer!! Good luck and I hope he finds his forever home with you!! (I have rescued lots too)

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs]

Thankyou it's wonderful that there are so many lovely people willing to rescue and change the lives of these beautiful dogs.

[Cosmo501 10 kg in reply to Loraine518]

I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for you! Sending you lucky vibes xxx

I will light a candle, Loraine. Done xx

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Hopalong1]

Thank you Hopalong x

[Craftyperson]

Good luck hope you get him

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to Craftyperson]

Thank you

[focused1 Maintainer 13kg]

He would be mine too - that photo !!!

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to focused1]

Thank you, he is gorgeous isn't he.

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs]

Just a quick update, he has now arrived in the UK and is apparently very gentle and just wants love.My application has been received and Joan from the rescue is going to call me tomorrow, so we are definitely in with a chance.

It probably helps that she is a member of my fundraising group and has seen loads of pictures of my dogs having fun, but I will still need to have a home check.

Not sure exactly what breed he is as he has a back up package with Labrador rescue, so he may be a spaniel lab cross, which is fine by us, as he is gorgeous.

I don't know how long he has to stay in kennels, but imagine it will be a while before he can actually come to his new home.

Thank you all for your lovely replies, I will update you when I know more xxx

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs]

Looks like all the positive messages and support did the trick, Boris will be coming to live with us and we can collect him next week.😁 Thank you so much everyone xx

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Loraine518]

Whoopeeee!!

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to BridgeGirl]

So excited, just hope the other 3 take to him, sure they will in time 😊

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Loraine518]

I hope everyone else sees this. You can post a pic when he arrives with you, if he's not camera-shy

[springersrule Moderator Host 76kg in reply to Loraine518]

That's fantastic Loraine. I'm so pleased for you and Boris. I'm sure the others will be fine with him. Well done and congratulations xx

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to springersrule]

Thank you, I can't believe how quickly it's happened, it's great that we are both off work next week as its about a 4 hour drive each way to pick him up.

I thought we would have to have a home check and it would take several weeks, but she phoned today and is sending his adoption documents and we will pay the donation and collect him next Tuesday.

Ziggy will be fine and probably Merlin, Blue-Moon can be a little bit possessive, but will I'm sure be fine. They are used to my daughters pug staying regularly. xx

[springersrule Moderator Host 76kg in reply to Loraine518]

Oh that is perfect timing, not just for picking him up but for him settling in too.

I'm sure there wont be more than a few muttering under the breath off Blue-Moon. My Mr Pringle likes to mutter at others just to let them know i'm his mum but its very quiet and very brief lol xx

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to springersrule]

I know it couldn't have worked out better really and I'm sure him and Blue-Moon and Merlin will all become great friends. xx

[springersrule Moderator Host 76kg in reply to Loraine518]

Let us know how everything goes once you get him home and settled in. I'm sure he'll be a great addition xx

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to springersrule]

Thank you I will, I just can't wait for next week to get him home and give him lots of love. xx

[springersrule Moderator Host 76kg in reply to Loraine518]

Lol try not to have any sleepless nights, it'll make it feel longer 😁 xx

[lucigret]

I was just wondering if there was any news, I'm thrilled for you and Boris. Hope all goes well with settling him in.

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to lucigret]

Thank you, it helps that I work mostly from home at the moment, I'm expecting a few little teething problems initially, but sure it will all work out.😀

[lucigret in reply to Loraine518]

From your photo, it looks as though he is used to be being around other dogs, so that will help. I wonder what happened to his friend, I hope he/she has found a forever home as well.

[Loraine518 1st 7lbs in reply to lucigret]

He is used to other dogs, just not sure about cats yet.

There were 4 dogs altogether, the one with him who has a new home, and her brother and sister, who are looking for new homes. I'm sure they will get lovely new homes soon as they are all gorgeous x
