Hi everyone!

My name is Buster and I am a 12 year old springer spaniel. 

I came into rescue due to my owners ill health, and for the last 2 years have spent my life living in their garden.

Upon arrival, it was clear there was some weakness on my back end…this has been investigated with X-rays and nothing untoward was seen…so most likely muscle wastage due to not being walked. Since arriving at SEDR this has already improved significantly.

I was incredibly matted when I arrived and had to be clipped very short, and I will need regular grooming. 

I have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped 🐾

I am a sweet boy who lives to play fetch! I would happily play ball all day if I could, and will bring it back to you again and again! I can become quite over stimulated by ball play so my foster family have been working on brain games and enrichment. 

I was initially strong on the lead, but my foster family have been working hard on this and I now walk with more calmness! I have a lot of energy for a 12 year old dog, so you must be physically fit to be able to walk me!

Due to being deprived of love and attention for 2 years in my former home…I have becoming increasingly ‘needy’ in my foster home…and find it difficult to settle whilst my foster mum works from home. Some days I find it easier, but other days I need constant attention, which can be challenging if you have other things you need to do. We feel I would benefit from having a dog as company…and a very active home who have the time and energy to keep me occupied. If you are looking for a calm, chilled dog who will sleep under your desk for a few hours after a walk whilst you work… I am not the dog for you! I will settle down nicely downstairs overnight, and have not shown any signs of seperation anxiety when left…but if you are home, I need a lot of attention as I am very insecure. This can be quite exhausting, which is why a more active home where I am out being occupied would suit me better. 

I love meeting new dogs and would love to find a home with a canine friend…who can keep up with my energy levels! 

I am perfectly housetrained (other than a few settling in accidents) and show no signs of separation anxiety.

I am looking for an adult home, without cats.

I travel well in the car.
