Freddie’s family have sent us this video, and told us “On 4 December we have had Freddie for a year! It’s gone so quickly, we’ve packed loads in, and watched his confidence grow.” Well, that has just about made our day!

Brodie
It’s rapidly approaching one year since we met and fell for Brodie. He is such a key member of our large pack including his extended cousins and I can honestly say that he is enjoying every moment of his life. He loves his numerous caravan holidays especially when water is involved, considering when we first got him he wouldn’t put both his front feet into our local reservoir at the same time. He has got out on the fells on numerous occasions. And he was also very proud of himself when he won his cup at the NWESSR event in June, well I was slightly more proud. Looking forward to another year of doggy activities.
Mabel
When we posted the appeal for Mabel we thought she would be popular, but even so, we couldn’t have imagined how many people wanted to adopt her 😍 We were bowled over!
Fast forward three months and here she is, settled into her new home and enjoying daily adventures as you can see! Her family describe her as ‘good as gold and gentle with everyone’.
If you’d like to adopt a Springer from NWESSR, you’ll find more information about what we’re looking for here: https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form/
Molly
Hello everyone! I’m Molly and I’m here to tell you that I’m a very lucky girl indeed!
I needed a new home earlier this year and NWESSR helped me. I live with my new Dad and together we look after the countryside, which is a very important thing to do. I think my job is to test the mud and water and as you can see, I’m very good at that!
I know my Dad loves me because I heard him telling the lady from NWESSR that we are both very happy, and he wouldn’t swap me for the earth. Wow!
Thank you, lots of love, Molly 🥳😍🥳
Ronnie and Luna
Remember Ronnie and Luna? Well, we’ve had an update from their lovely new family……
“Good day, let me update you on “the children” Ronnie and Luna, they are both happy and a wonderful handful and we love them dearly! Our house is no longer ours but they are welcome to it. Luna turned 7 years old this week and got a huge bone as a present, plus treats from all the relatives. She continues to be a free spirit and just loves to fly around our fields and wood chasing anything that moves!!!! Ronnie is enjoying himself in his own laid back way, totally obsessed with balls! ( the photo of him looking where the balls are kept! such dedication) But he is so loveable and patient as he tolerates Luna grabbing the balls out of his mouth. Be assured they are both well, healthy and full of life, we are looking to take them to the Borders or Northumberland this summer/autumn, both dog friendly places, so they can run and run!
Our life has been taken over by them, perhaps more than we expected but we love them to bits and wouldn’t have it any other way, they are together and fully enjoying life! “
Jesse James nee Dexter
Four years old Jesse James nee Dexter, after joining his owners wild swimming in the river, modelling his brand new dry robe!
He has really settled in very well He loves running and is responding well to instructions. He’s a very smart dog and remembers where his owners have hidden his toys when it’s time to have a rest!. He is tired out at the end of the day as he has two long walks and is also playing out in the paddock for hours during the day. The dog next door comes calling for him each day and they chase each other around the garden.I think he’s really happy in his new home and it’s clear he was really well cared for at his previous home.
Darcie
Darcy 4 years old, adopted in October 2022
Having a lovely time living in the countryside and looking forward to some trips out with the local ramblers!
Another happy ending!
Cassie
Hi there. We adopted Cassie back in March and whilst she was a typical Springer juvenile, she was also headstrong, determined and to be honest a tad wild. 🤣
With lots of walks, training sessions interjected with games and fun, she has now learned that ‘team work’ is much more rewarding and fun.
Here are some photos of our fabulous girl, enjoying the great outdoors….as Springers should.
I hope you love them.
Kindest regards.
Volunteer call
Vinny has a question for you! Do you have the time and skills to help give Dogs like him a better life?
NWESSR works hard to rescue springer spaniels. Last year we needed to find a forever home for a Springer every week. But, we are entirely run by volunteers, so we need your help.
We offer a wide range of voluntary roles that you could be perfect for, from dog walking to helping with the finances! We would be grateful for any offers of support, but right now we really need;
-
A Treasurer
-
Fundraisers
-
I.T. and other administrative support
-
Foster homes
-
Dog Walkers in the Burnley or Whitefield areas
If you can volunteer, you will receive the training you need to help you confidently support our special four-legged friends.
So if you are enthusiastic, have even the smallest amount of time to spare and can bring any experience, skills or ideas we would love to talk to you.
If you think this might be you, please email volunteer@englishspringerrescue.co.uk telling us how you might like to help, and we’ll be in touch for a chat.
Thanks, from Vinny & everyone at NWESSR for taking the time to read this, and we look forward to hearing from you soon!
Harry and Finn
We adopted Harry and Finn, previously known as Smudge and Loki exactly a year ago on the 10th February. They settled in brilliantly and are a right pair! Both very different, constantly on the go but we love them so much. They’re loving life here in Cumbria with lots of exciting adventures in this beautiful part of the world. ❤
