Category Archives: Dogs needing homes

No two English Springer Spaniels have the same needs, so rehoming is as much about the environment and experience you can offer as it is the dog themselves.

That’s why, while NWESSR is constantly active in rehabilitating and rehoming dogs surrendered into our care, we don’t always advertise individual dogs with pictures online. This is because, rather than adopters choosing one of our dogs, we match the information you give us with the characteristics of dogs in our care to find a perfect fit between their needs and what you can offer.

The ‘success stories’ on the ‘rehomed’ tab on our website show why it’s important that we take this approach. If you think you have the forever home for one of our dogs, please read about the process under ‘how to adopt’ and submit a vetting form.

The first step in applying to adopt a NWESSR Springer is to contact us via our on line form. In order to find the right Springer for you we need to know about:

  • your past dog experience
  • your family
  • any current pets
  • what you could offer a rescued Springer.

Molly

Meet Molly, this striking little charmer is an energetic girl and NWESSR is looking for a home for this live wire, who runs around with much enthusiasm and loves action. At the age of three and a half she is very willing to learn and will need a home happy to carry on with training and enjoying the walks with interaction. Molly will bring a lively dynamic to a lucky new owner.

Molly’s start has been a rocky road through circumstances not of her making. She lived with her first older owner for just over a year, however, Molly accidentally caused her to trip, resulting in broken ribs, this knocked the lady’s confidence. So another family member has looked after her since in their own home. But they now have a baby who is starting to crawl and due to Molly being a little boisterous at times, they feel it would be better for Molly to have a new home, especially as it was never their intention to have a dog in the first place. Recognising also that it is not fair to young Molly to be so restricted.

Molly enjoys interaction with older children who visit the home she will usually accept a stroke and will be happy playing with balls and toys. She can be a little shy when she meets new people but comes around when they get more familiar. Her owner does refer to her as a cuddly bunny. Walk time is “happy time” for Molly she will pull a little at first but calms down into the walk. On the lead she allows dogs to have a sniff, off lead its playtime. Treats at the vets make the visit favourable. She loves a bath which is usually carried out at home by her present owner.

A move to a new home is always hard and Molly through no fault of her own has had an unsettling time. It is our wish, for her to have the best Springer lifestyle. She needs a new owner who can match her energy levels, joining in with the exercise and mental stimulation this lovely girl needs. It is important that Molly can feel secure in her new forever home, where she will become your cuddly bunny.
