Keith sounds like a lovely boy and must be so happy to have his forever home. Dogs enrich our lives in so many ways and give us a reason to get up in the mornings. Our dogs give us lots of love and fun, and of course work. Wouldn't be without them

He sounds a lovely dog, great that he has a new home with you. Cannot say I've ever seen a spaniel/Gs cross, any chance of a pic? (Our last dog, Springer, was re-homed with us due to a marriage breakdown too. She settled in very well but was sensitive to raised voices, probably seen a lot of it in her time).

Brilliant!! They are such fun and lovely companions. Mines asleep by my side on the sofa. Always by my side, a loving happy little soul.

What a lovely inspiring postjenn keith certainly has fallen on all his four paws finding you it sounds like he is full of fun and I bet you have many happy times together,who needs a cleaner home when a doggy cuddle is up for grabs.

Last year I lost my two dogs after 16 years and decided to wait until after Christmas before getting another.
I knew I didn't want the puppy stage so looked at rescue dogs but to be honest I didn't want problems .I wanted a happy dog that was well socialised and I found one!!!
keith is a 17 month old spaniel,german shepherd cross and he is delightful such a happy dog with bags of energy.His last owner didn't have the time for him after a marital breakdown and was so upset at letting him go but knew it was better for him
Today we had an hour in the woods and this afternoon I took him to the stables and walked him over the fields after mucking out.Bath time was a giggle as he kept dropping his toy in the bath for me to throw..my house feels home again.Yes it was cleaner without a dog but my physical and mental health are much improved with one.
