SPANIEL RESCUE FOUNDATION
Our charity aim to relieve the suffering of spaniels in need by placing them into appropriate foster homes and providing routine and emergency veterinary care and then finding them a permanent home that meets the needs of each individual dog. In addition to this we are committed to providing as much support and online advice as possible to enable dogs to live safely in their homes.
