Pebbles is an approx. 4 year old Cocker Spaniel Bitch is being fostered in Gloucestershire in an adult home with other dogs.
Lovely Pebbles does not have a history due to being picked up as a stray. She did her 7 days at a Council Pound and then came into our care.
When she came in she was in a terrible state and had to have her whole coat removed she was so good for us and the groomer.
That first day
Such a mess poor girl
Was so good being groomed
Pebbles is a lovely dog, friendly good with the other dogs and loves people. Temperament wise you could not wish for a better dog. It’s pretty obvious she has not lived in a home before but she has adjusted very well.
She is living with 4 other dogs with no problems other than a bit growly when tired at night but that is all.
Her foster carers have been taking her out and about, she has been to Garden Centres, Pubs, Scent work classes even attended an agility class. She has a waggy tail for everyone to bless her.
At the garden centre lots of good smells
At Agility Club
She has been off the lead but very distracted by smells etc which she found very exciting so not a reliable recall needs work. She travels really well. Her house training is more or less there. She sleeps in a crate in the foster carer’s bedroom.
First time off the lead
So lots of positives for this lovely little dog but she will need an experienced home to continue the work her foster home is doing with her introducing her to this big world out there.

We think the preference will be for her to go with another dog or dogs and as we said an experienced rescue home, not full-time workers and people who understand how to slowly build up her exposure to the world.
Pebbles has all the makings of being a lovely companion, she is a busy dog though not a coach potato type.
Pebbles has been to our Vets, she has started her vaccinations, when she went in to be spayed it was found she had already been spayed, there were worries about some small bobbles which the Vet is sure is nothing but we have had a sample taken and its been sent off for analysis and we will get the report back in a week.
