Welcome to our application page. If you’ve decided to adopt a Springer, you’ve come to the right place!
Please read the following information about the type of homes we are looking for.
Location
We are based in Lancashire. We’re looking for homes within 100 miles of postcode BB10 or M45. Sadly, if you are much further afield, we won’t be able to consider your application.
Home, family and work
Someone must be at home for a good part of the day. Springers thrive on company and we wouldn’t consider a home where all family members are out at work all day. We don’t rehome to families with children under 6. You must be fit and active and prepared for the huge amount of exercise, training and stimulation a Springer will demand of you!
Experience
Ideally you will have experience of living with a Springer, but we do consider experience with other similar energetic and intelligent working breeds. If you have rescue experience that’s a huge bonus!
Other pets
We are happy to consider other good-natured dogs in the home, and we do sometimes place Springers in homes with cats. We place our female Springers in homes with no other female dogs.
If you meet the criteria and would like to apply to adopt or foster a Springer, we are looking forward to hearing from you!

Provided you submit your form successfully, an on screen message confirming it has been successfully submitted will appear on screen. No email verification will be sent, this is your receipt.
If you apply and don’t hear back from us within 14 days, we’re sorry to say your application hasn’t been successful. If we review your application and think you could be a good match for a Springer Spaniel, we’ll contact you to arrange a chat in more detail within 14 days. We are looking for applicants whose lifestyle best fits that of a rescue Springer Spaniel. Those applicants will be contacted with a view to arranging a homecheck. We may have lots of strong applicants, so if you don’t hear from us within 14 days of your telephone interview, unfortunately your application hasn’t been successful.
Please DO NOT contact the NWESSR general phone number, to enquire about the status of your application, the call handler does not have access to these records.
Successful applicants who are homechecked will be added to a waiting list, with a view to being matched with a suitable dog. Your position on the waiting list is not the main consideration, finding a good match is more important.
These processes are designed to ensure that successful applicants can be matched with a Springer of appropriate age, size, sex and temperament, who they will then be invited to visit. This matching process may take some time, as we cannot predict availability and suitability of dogs. So please be patient.
NWESSR requires a minimum (non-refundable) donation of £350 Dogs. This does not constitute payment for the individual dog, but helps meet our average cost of re-homing (which is in the region of £600) and allows us to continue to help other Springers in need of behavioural training, veterinary treatment and kennel space.
We recommend that you complete the form using a Chrome browser.
Note: Please note that at the end of the process you will receive an on screen verification, no email verification will be sent, your form has been successfully submitted, so please wait for us to contact you. Please also note that simultaneous applications to a multiple re-homing organisations waste valuable volunteer time. If you decide you do not wish to proceed with your application please contact homing@englishspringerrescue.co.uk
