BOBBY THE COCKER SPANIEL IS COMING HOME TO STAY
My mother recently lost her dog Lia a staff/boxer and at that time was quite adamant that she would not have any more dogs.
After a few months she admitted that she found her life very empty and lonely (my father no longer being around) and said she missed having the company of a dog. So began her search looking at loads of websites for dogs that needed re-homing. She was very overwhelmed by the extent of strays that needed new homes and was at a loss as to where to even start narrowing down a dog that would be suitable for her until that is she came across the website for SOS Animals UK.
Having viewed the website for SOS Animals UK she was very moved by the stories of dogs needing adoption or fostering. Even more so she could not believe that so many of the dogs were abandoned by British citizens who had moved out to Spain, set up home, taken on a pet dog only to abandon it the minute they leave to return to England.
The lucky dogs are those already in foster homes waiting to be placed in permanent homes. The rest are being kept in kennels at the shelter in Spain and that is where she saw and fell in love with a dog called Bobby. As you can see from the pictures below he looks adorable.
Bobby is a 5 year old Cocker spaniel and his story goes as follows…
"Bobby is a lovely cuddly, lively boy who enjoys his walks and a fuss being made of him. Sadly he was brought to us by his previous owners who could not care for him any more due to their personal circumstances changing. He is a wonderful dog and it is such a shame he is now living in kennels he would love to be back in a loving home again. He was passed to his previous owners by another family who were leaving Spain so he really does need to find his 'forever' home, after he has been through so much in his life already. He is great with other dogs and has always lived with other dogs, but we also feel he will be happy as an only dog getting all the love and attention.
He will fit into any loving family, and would love lots of cuddles and long walks."
My mother is really excited about meeting Bobby and is preparing for his arrival. To find out how things go, I will keep you updated of his progress and will post regular pictures of him on the website when he arrives, so keep watching!
