Rehoming a spaniel

I’d love some recommendations about how to find an older spaniel to join our family. I have joined most of the springer/cocker/sprocker rescue sites on Facebook and a friend with a gun dog is asking around her contacts.

Is it the done thing to ask breeders if they have older animals needing homes?

We have a big secure garden plus another acre of land, and we have country walks on our doorstep. We have children (8 and nearly 5) and I mostly work from home, have a dog friendly office, and it looks like DH will be home for the next year or two at least. I don’t think we are ready for a puppy but we could give an older dog a lovely home.

It seems like unless I am willing to stalk every Facebook page for hours a day that we won’t be selected to rescue or foster. Is there another way to find an older dog or bitch? Thanks for any tips! 🙂

Oldies Club have several spaniels, although they've suspended rehoming at the moment.

We got our fabulous 8-year-old cocker from Four Paws

Hope Rescue are fab as well - they have all sorts of breeds in and are excellent at matching the right dog to the right home.
