🐾❤️ ALBIE – Foster-to-Adopt in Cornwall, Devon & Devon/Somerset Border ❤️🐾

Hello everyone! I'm Albie!
I'm a rather handsome Clumber Spaniel crossed with a Cocker Spaniel. A big, soppy, cuddly boy who LOVES his people, tummy rubs, snuggles and a good snooze! Oh, and I have a fabulous singing voice. A proper AWHOOOO when I'm happy to see you! 😂

I've lived with my lovely family since I was a tiny puppy, but I sometimes get worried when someone comes too close to my favourite things. With little people at home, my family feel a quieter home, with more time to help me, would be best.

The Paws2Freedom people came to visit, and apparently I won them over with my cuddles! ❤️

RESCUE STORY:
Albie has lived with his loving family since he was 10 weeks old. During the past year he has begun showing some worries around food and certain belongings. With a young child and another baby on the way, his family have made the difficult decision to find a home better suited to his needs.

We have met Albie at home and taken him for a walk. He has a confirmed foster place with our team from 3 November 2026, where we will get to know him better and assess his needs further.

Size: Medium, approximately 26 kg (needs to lose a few pounds).

Sex: Male.

Age: 5½ years (DOB 01/04/2021).

Neutered: No.

Vaccinated: Puppy vaccinations recorded; later boosters not confirmed as up to date.

Microchipped: Yes.

House trained: Yes.

CHILDREN:
Albie has lived with a young child and has generally been very loving and gentle. However, young children cannot always recognise a dog's warning signals. He therefore needs an adult-only home or one with older teenager, without visiting young children.

DOGS:
Albie enjoys the company of dogs in general and can be playful with those he likes. He may bark back at dogs that bark at him. He has lived with another dog, but will initially be assessed as an only dog in foster.

CATS:
Albie has always lived with cats, although he can become uncomfortable if they approach his food. Feeding times need careful separation and management. Any home with cats would need assessing individually.

BEHABIOUR/TEMPERRAMENT/UNIQUE TRAITS/TRAINING NEEDS:
Albie is a wonderfully affectionate, generally relaxed and very cuddly boy! We found him incredibly friendly, soppy and delighted with attention when we met him.

His family describe him as loving, playful and quite a character. He enjoys tummy rubs, hide and seek, the occasional game of fetch and a good sniff around. He greets his favourite people with a magnificent AWHOOOO and apparently snores rather impressively too! 😂

Albie barks when visitors arrive but settles once they are welcomed and comfortable (he did this when we arrived, too).
He sometimes becomes worried if people or animals approach his food or something he has picked up. His way of saying “please leave this alone” can be to growl or air-snap. His family report that he has never bitten anyone, but naturally cannot know whether his reactions might escalate if those warnings were misunderstood, particularly by their young child or, in time, their new baby.

These situations need sensible management, patience and kind, reward-based training, without confrontation or forcibly taking things from him. His foster family will help us understand his worries and what support he needs.

We took Albie for a short walk and found him very easy and pleasant on the lead. His owner says he can pull a lot with her, so she uses a Halti-type headcollar which he knows and which works well for them. He enjoys sniffing, exploring and twice-daily walks.

Albie travels well in the car and, according to his family, can be left alone once settled. He may need time to adjust to a new routine and being an only dog.

He hasn't been tested with small animals and can be unsure around livestock.

His ideal home would be calm and experienced, with adults or older teenagers who understand canine body language, respect his boundaries and have time to help him build confidence. A secure garden and plenty of affection are essential!

HEALTH:
Albie has a history of allergies affecting his skin and ears, with occasional flare-ups and ear infections. Following a recent flare-up, his family kindly arranged veterinary treatment at our suggestion and he is responding very well!
His coat has suffered from the long-standing skin problems and needs time to recover. His family wondered whether he might be sensitive to steroids, although this has never been confirmed.

He is on a special diet to help manage his allergies. No specific allergy testing has established the cause, so further investigation may be helpful. His new people will need to be happy to continue his care.

And a little final word from Albie...

Well, that's quite a lot about little old me, isn't it? 😂
I'm really just a big, cuddly spaniel who loves his people, his walks, his snoozes and, most importantly, his cuddles!
My family have loved me all my life and now they're helping me find another lovely home. I'm hoping someone will understand my little worries and give me a chance to show what a gorgeous boy I can be.

Thank you for reading about me! Sending everyone a great big Albie cuddle and an extra loud AWHOOOO! 🐾❤️
Love, Albie xxx
