Story

Barkley is an approximately 2-year-old boxer mix that is a big ball of love! He wants nothing more than to spend the day with his people. He is as sweet as he is handsome.His ideal family is someone who is home most of the time or has one or two other dogs to keep him company when his people aren't around and show him the ropes on what this home life is all about! A fenced yard would be ideal as well. His hobbies include lounging, snacking, squeaking his favorite toys, and sitting on your lap.Currently, Chuck is working on learning that the kennel is a safe place. He gets worried when his humans leave and heâ€™s all alone, but if he is kenneled next to a sibling dog who is cool, calm, and collected, he is too! Chuck is neutered, fully vaccinated, good with other dogs, and children! We are unsure how he would do with cats at this time, but there is potential to learn.

Story

Intake Date: 24 March 2026 ----- Age: Unknown (est. ~2 yrs) ----- Breed: Clumber Spaniel ----- Weight: 49 lbs ----- Status: Breeder Surrender ----- Compatible with: dogs (selective), unknown with cats, mature children ----- Suitable for: patient home ----- Medical/Behavioral Needs: recently treated severe ear infection, spayed, sanitary groom completed, leash training in progress, shy ----- Additional Notes: Meet Phyllis! Another from "The Office" group. Phyllis is a sweet and gentle Clumber Spaniel who came to rescue from the same difficult situation as Roy. She had a severe ear infection and needed a sanitary groom, both of which were addressed during her spay. Of the three females from her group, Phyllis is the most shy—but she’s incredibly sweet and curious about the world. 🐾💛 About Phyllis: 🐾 Female 🐾 Breed: Clumber Spaniel 🐾 Weight: 49 lbs 🐾 Age: Unknown, estimated ~2 years 🐾 Sweet, shy, and curious 🐾 Loves walks and exploring new sights and smells 🐾 Leash training in progress 🐾 Dog selective—gets along with Roy and Beesly, does not mesh with Nellie Since her groom, Phyllis is much more eager to explore because she feels GREAT! She has no mean bones in her body with people—just a little shy at times. She’s learning to enjoy life outside of a kennel and is making progress every day. Adoption Info: Phyllis is adoptable to a home experienced with shy or selective dogs, who can help her continue gaining confidence and enjoying walks, outings, and new experiences. She has no housetraining. If you’re ready to give this gentle, sweet Clumber a loving home where she can continue to blossom, Phyllis is ready to meet you! 🐶💛 ‐------------------------------------------------------- If interested in meeting and potentially adopting, please read the adoption requirements and complete the adoption application located at forbellessake.org. Once processed and approved, a meet and greet can be scheduled and if a match is found, adoption can be finalized at that time. FBS standard adoption fee is $175. All residents are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and treated for any known medical needs. Housetraining is not guaranteed but crate training is worked on with all residents. A secure physically fenced yard is prioritized if a yard is present. Temperament cannot be and is not guaranteed. Phyllis is in foster in NE Nebraska.

Story

Intake Date: 24 March 2026 ----- Age: Unknown ----- Breed: Clumber Spaniel ----- Weight: 77 lbs ----- Status: Breeder Surrender ----- Compatible with: dogs (supervised), unknown with cats, no young children ----- Suitable for: experienced home with no young children ----- Medical/Behavioral Needs: recently treated severe matting, ear infection, neutered, leash training in progress, undersocialized ----- Additional Notes: Meet Roy, one of the dogs from "The Office" group. Roy is a gentle giant Clumber Spaniel who has had a rough start in life. He came to rescue as a breeder surrender, severely matted, in pain, and with clumps of urine- and feces-soaked hair. Understandably, he was pretty growly at first—he wanted to be near people but didn’t want much handling. Since having the painful matting removed, treatment for a severe ear infection, and being neutered, Roy seems much happier and more comfortable in his own skin. 🐾💛 About Roy: 🐾 Male 🐾 Breed: Clumber Spaniel 🐾 Weight: 77 lbs 🐾 Age: Unknown 🐾 Sweet, cautious, and learning to trust 🐾 Leash training in progress 🐾 No prior home experience—used to kennel life Roy grew up in a kennel and doesn’t have experience in a family home. He’s making progress learning about the world outside a kennel and is adoptable to a home with experience handling undersocialized dogs. He’s not suitable for homes with young children and we do not yet know how he is with cats. He rides well in a vehicle and has done fine in a group with other kennel dogs, though he does not seem to require constant canine companionship. Adoption Info: Roy will be available for adoption to a home that understands the needs of undersocialized dogs and can continue helping him gain confidence, leash skills, and comfort with handling. If you’re ready to give a sweet, cautious Clumber a second chance at a happy, healthy life, Roy is ready to meet you! ‐------------------------------------------------------- If interested in meeting and potentially adopting, please read the adoption requirements and complete the adoption application located at forbellessake.org.
