Adopt a Springer Spaniel / Clumber Spaniel (short coat)

 12/29/2017:   Daisy was returned to Pet Rescue by Judy by her adoptive dad.   There seemed to be a personality conflict between his girlfriend and Daisy.   So unfortunately,  poor Daisy was returned.   He was very heartbroken regarding his decision and he did inform us that Daisy is housetrained, she enjoys her baths and is very playful.   She also loves green beans.  Daisy needs a calm home with no children.  She would do best as an only dog or with another dog who is calm and gentle.  Daisey has shown aggression when you go near her food bowl so for this reason we do not advise children.


Daisy is available for fostering or adoption.   Please put an application in for her and we will have her at the shelter to meet her new family.

Daisy Winter is housebroken, likes other dogs and knows some tricks.  She's so happy and playful that sometimes she jumps on people.  She likes to cuddle and walks.  Daisy Winter is crate trained and will sleep in her crate.  She loves toys and will only chew on them.  She's such a cutie and needs some love and training.

Its popularity in America began in 1700. The Springer Spaniel gets its name from his method of flushing game: he springs forward to drive birds out of hiding.

Some are high-energy and they are all intelligent. They need a soft, but firm hand so they always know who is in control. There are two types of Springers - field and bench. The field type are bred for hunting and field trial work. They tend to have more white coat than the bench type, much less hair, and are more high energy.
