Herbie is a bright, happy, and loving spaniel boy looking for a forever home where he can stretch his legs, use his nose, and, most importantly, be someone’s shadow! He is the definition of a people pleaser—you will never feel alone with Herbie around (he wouldn’t allow it!).

​

Do not be fooled by his cuddly, affectionate nature—Herbie is not a couch potato. He is at his best when he is doing something: from games in the garden to long walks in the woods or just being involved in your day. He thrives on activity and interaction and loves using that amazing spaniel nose for scent games and adventures.

​

Why You will Love Herbie:

​

  • Cuddly Companion: Will curl up at your feet—or on them!

  • Great Manners: Very well-trained, gentle nature, no jumping or fussing

  • Sociable: Gets on brilliantly with other dogs (ideally would love a canine friend!)

  • Work-from-Home Dream: Calm during meetings, but always on hand for moral support

  • Travel Buddy: Great in the car – quiet, calm, and happy to wait patiently

Herbie’s Wishlist:

​

Herbie is looking for an active and loving home, ideally with access to a secure garden where he can sniff and play. A doggy friend would be a huge bonus, as he thrives on companionship and gentle play.

 

He would also do well in a multi-person household, where his love and energy can be shared.

 

He needs owners who appreciate the joyful chaos of a spaniel brain—full of energy, heart, and the occasional muddy ear from a walk through the brambles! A home that enjoys getting out and about, then snuggling up at the end of the day, would be Herbie’s dream.

 

Important Notes:

  • No cats – Herbie has a strong prey drive.

  • Not tested with young children – older, dog-savvy kids (12+) recommended.

  • Needs continued gentle boundaries to avoid becoming overly demanding for attention.

  • Currently slightly overweight – on a healthy diet plan with progress underway.
