The Daisy Fact File

Cat status: Would chase, cannot be rehomed with cats
Child status: Very good. can be bouncy so would like a home with children aged 8 years plus.
House training: Good. Can have the odd spot of excited or submissive urination.
Home alone: Is happy to be left for a few hours following a good walk. However, she would not suit a full time worker.
Basic training: Is good with all basic commands, sit, stay (in the house), lie down, bed. Will wait to eat until told.
Medical issues: Daisy has Inflammatory Bowel Disease. More information below.





Just look into those eyes, who could resist? The delightful Daisy is looking for a new home where she will get a lot of love and attention and enjoy an active lifestyle.

Daisy adores people and is a very loving and loyal dog. She is currently living in foster care with older children and teens and is well behaved. She can sometimes be bouncy and exciteable so would not suit a home with under 8's.
Daisy's love of people and being part of the action mean she would not be suitable to live with a full time worker. Although she will relax if left for a short time she would not be comfortable being left for longer periods. She has always been left with canine company in her foster home.



Daisy has been unwell for a while with digestive issues and has undergone investigations and veterinary treatment. She has been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. This condition will be with her for life and dietary management and steroids will be required. The dosage for her steroids is currently being perfected but will cost between £5 and £10 per month. These costs would need to be covered by her adoptive home.
Daisy is stabilising with her foster home and they are getting a real handle on the condition. The stress of moving could make things worse again for a short time and in fact stress in general could influence the condition from now on. Daisy will not need to be wrapped in cotton wool but stress and worry needs to be kept to a minimum.

Daisy is well socialised and is good with other dogs. She is currently living in foster care with canine company and came in to our care from a multi dog household. She is also good with dogs she meets out on walks. She would love a home with canine company even if it means the threat of sharing her chews! Daisy can be possessive over chews and treats towards other dogs and this would need to be managed carefully in a new home.
Daisy cannot be rehomed with resident cats as she shows far too much interest for comfort!



Daisy is intelligent and biddable and will need lots of mental stimulation in her new home. She already has an excellent grasp of basic commands and has been attending training classes with her foster home. Further work will need to be done regarding her walking on a lead and recall building on the foundations laid already. Daisy is very excited when she sees her lead and can pull at first. When running off lead Daisy gets down to the real springer business of flushing birds and other wildlife and her recall needs further improvements. For this reason we would love to find a home experienced with spaniels or other working breeds. Daisy will need to be trained using positive, kind methods only.
Daisy is a young and active dog and will need a home who love to be outdoors where she will get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

Daisy is completely house trained but like many gundogs she can leak urine when excited or being submissive. This is usually when greeting new people if they make a big fuss of her.

All Hope Rescue dogs are neutered, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and microchipped prior to rehoming. A homecheck will be required, and you will need to come and meet the dog with your own dogs and family. Hope Rescue rehomes throughout the UK.

Well, where shall I start.........rain = puddles = mud = one very dirty but happy spangle , or in my case 3 very dirty happy spangles as where Daisy goes the boys follow!

Had a bit of a fright earlier this afternoon as went for a long walk to our local woods, braved the mud.....(she really doesn't settle unless she's had a really, really good off lead run!!) no sooner was she out of the car and she was off.............not to be found for prob no more than 5 minutes but seemed soooo much longer. Our voices just echoed...boys were in sight but no black and white streak.........finally came back within sight absolutely filthy.......and then shot off again with the boys in tow!

Needless to say, bath time on return for all 3 but 3 happy doggies. Boys happy to sleep but Daisy settled with her kong to keep that busy mind busy, she's only now settling down and actually closing her eyes lol! She is always on the go, wherever we go she's there, very much like a shadow.

We've been going to training classes again to help improve lead walking as life is very exciting out of doors and Dais needs to get to where she's going quickly so as not to waste any time. Unusually, all the other dogs have so far been males and she's settled fine but last week, the trainers female GSD was there and we did have a few 'I'll stare you out' issues and barking so that's reiterated the not happy around bitch theme. Prob the closest she's been to another bitch ie in the same hall a few feet apart since this has started...

She is adorable, and I would love to have her, but I think living with a bouncy 9 month old Welsh Springer bitch probably wouldn't work.

Its a shame, though, I could certainly cope with her IBD and chew possessiveness (having done so with a Cav). If only...

I wish I could.. she sounds perfect for what we're looking for in a rescue..

Hope she finds a new loving owner soon

Millie is like Daisy in the sense that she settles down after a good walk these kinds of breeds need a good walk to keep them trim and happy ^^

Daisy is still looking

Daisy is still looking for a stress free home

She was not looking so gorgeous yesterday!! Mucky mucky girlie!!

She's been on slightly restricted exercise due to her relapse, not easy with a springer on steroids! But the sun was shining yesterday and she is doing ok so thought I'd take her to collect younger son from rugby practice...

Off we went, arrived earlier to allow for a stroll around the nature retreat to the rear of the fields and true springer style off she went.............and found the biggest, muddiest, smelliest mini lake you could find, too big to call a puddle. Did she paddle and sniff like the other dogs, no not Daisy.......she crashed in and surfed through it on her tummy, head in, snorting and just generally wallowing in the mud........came out with not a patch of white to be seen! Much to the amusement of all the other dog walkers, you could see them thinking, thank god it's not mine!!

Younger son was just as muddy so both sat together coming home and both went into the shower together.......!!

She then spent the afternoon snoozing in the sun.........it tired her out more than I thought it would so still not 100% but hopefully we'll get there. Just another week or so of steroids then 3 weeks to clear her system and we'll have more of an idea...

Daisy is still looking. Can't believe their is no interest
