Bailey

Hi, I’m Bailey and I’m here to share my good news!

In January I was in need of a new home. My owners turned to NWESSR for help, and they found a wonderful person who wanted to adopt me. I’m only a youngster, and I’m still a bit of a cheeky rascal, so it was important to choose someone with plenty of time and patience for a Springer like me!

Fast forward a few weeks and here I am – loving life, learning lots and enjoying my lovely walks in the countryside. When I’m tired from all the fun, I lie down and do the big Springer Sprawl in my favourite place!

 

Sam

Hello, I’m Springer Sam! I’ve been adopted through NWESSR and now I live in Lancashire with my new Mum and Dad.

Mum works from home and I like to sleep under her desk by the side of her feet whilst she is working. I’m very happy about this because it means I’m not on my own all day.

I love my walks, especially when there’s water to go in! We go to lots of different places, which is a Springer’s idea of heaven, and for a special treat we go to a secure field where I can run about off the lead.

My Mum and Dad love me to bits and give me lots of affection and I think I’m a very lucky Springer!

 

Fernando

Hello folks, it’s Fernando here – remember me? Well here I am, living my best life in my new home. It didn’t take long for me to find my forever family.

I live with my new Mum and Dad and my big brother Snoopy (the handsome one on the right). Snoopy and I are besties!

I’m only 9 months old and I’ve got a lot to learn. At the moment we are working on my recall, which is great fun because it means I get lots of treats. I’m getting better and will be able to go off the lead soon.

A lady from NWESSR called to check on my progress and my parents told her that I’m getting on really well and it feels like I’m part of the family.

Far be it for me to blow my own trumpet but they are clearly besotted with me and feel that they have been so lucky to adopt me. I’m so happy, love and licks, Fernando.

Henry

Here is handsome Henry, a one year old liver/white Springer who had come to NWESSR through no fault of his own.

Due to Henry’s owners having a change in their working life Henry spends six to seven hours a day alone. They have decided they will rehome him as this is not what they want for him.

Henry is used to having a one hour walk in the morning, he enjoys being off lead in the field and is comfortable around livestock as he has always lived in the countryside and has grown up around birds and different livestock.

In the evening he will have another walk. If he is on the lead his owners find he walks best on a slip rope over the nose.  He has been whistle trained and will respond to this when he is out and playing with his much treasured ball.

Henry has not lived with children and only had experience with a three year old who he was happy to accept a stroke from. His owners have described Henry as cuddly, lovable and one who cannot resist a tummy tickle. 

A home for Henry will need someone who will enjoy continuing his training as he grows and someone who will enjoy long active walks with an activity fun time thrown in the mix.

Milo

Hello! My name is Milo, I’m a year old this month and I’m a lucky boy to have found a new home, thanks to NWESSR.

 

My hobbies are running about in mud and big puddles, having my photo taken, making friends, getting my hair dried and making as much mischief as I can!

 

Everyone I meet loves me, my family adore me and I’m living my best life now!

Can you help keep Beck and Bane together?

Beck and Bane are very bonded 7 year old litter brothers who have lived together all of their lives, They were originally trained as gundogs but have always lived in the house as companion animals and have not worked for a few years.  They have lived happily with children and another dog. Given other commitments, their owner has sadly concluded that  Bane and Beck need a new home with more time to spend with them.  They are strong dogs and have a tendency to pull on the lead, but are good off the lead and once they get to know you will stay close to you. 

The current cost of living crisis makes it more challenging for NWESSR to find homes for pairs of dogs, but we would hate to separate Bane and Beck. If you can offer them an active home together and have  lots of time for fun and walks with  them, please apply mentioning Bane and Beck in your application.

Bailey

Bailey is 1yr 10 months, the first year of his life was fine and he was happy. But then his world was turned upside down when a baby arrived. At this crucial stage in his life, he now had to compete for attention and his owners no longer had the time to train and exercise him. Understandably Bailey was unhappy with this new situation and struggled to make sense of it. Bailey was left with friends for a week or so, to give the new parents space. Shortly afterwards he was neutered for medical reasons, due to an undescended testicle. All these changes really unsettled poor Bailey. Having been house trained, at around this point, he seemed to be anxious  and started urinating in the house.  While this behaviour is less pronounced now, when confronted with new people in the home, who make him scared, he can wee. To get attention, even if that might be negative, he started to take things he should not have, particularly things related to the baby, i.e a sock or the baby’s toys. He could be stubborn, when he didn’t want to give then up, but as he is food/treat motivated they can be used as a swop. In a new situation recently, Bailey was getting excitable and seeking attention, he grabbed at clothes and on one occasion caused bruising. Bailey would prefer new owners who are around a lot, as he was been left for 6 hours which is not acceptable and sometimes showed his dismay by being destructive. Bailey needs to feel part of the pack, so it would be preferable not to shut him in a room behind a solid door, but instead use a baby gate if necessary. He is quite alert to noises and will bark. Bailey would benefit from being completely ignored if he does this and rewarded with a “good boy”, whenever he is quiet, so that he realises what action gets him the preferred attention.

Bailey  has not lived with a dog but has stayed with an older terrier bitch  with whom he got on fine. Outside of the home he generally likes other dogs though he can be  wary of bigger dogs, especially black labs having been attacked on one occasion. He has lived happily with a young cat who was in the home just before he arrived. He seems not bothered by or interested in birds  or livestock.

Like many young springers, Bailey pulls on the lead, especially at the start of a walk, so a new owner will need to work on this. Off lead his recall is quite good and while he runs ahead, he generally checks back when called. A new owner will need to continue to establish this.

Bailey is an affectionate boy. He needs an active but quiet, child free home, with understanding owners, who will have time to give him lots of attention and exercise and earn his trust. It is likely he could live with a dog/cat.

Bailey has missed out on so much so far. Not surprisingly, emotionally he is not as old as stated officially. A sympathetic owner willing to help him rebuild his confidence, will reap the benefits of a great companion for years to come and with the knowledge they have changed Bailey’s life for the better.

Oskar

We are happy to say that Oskar is settling in well to his new home in Derbyshire with his new family and a Springer sister.

 

His owners describe him as a lovely dog who wants to please, and they are very attached to him.  

 

Another happy ending for a NWESSR dog!

 

Milo

Could you be the friend that 3.5yrs Milo is waiting for ?

Milo came to NWESSR after his owner temporarily moved back in with her parents and their two dogs. There was an altercation over a toy and as it is last in first out, young Milo had to leave.

Milo had not had a stable home life and as a result he arrived anxious and afraid of new people and situations. An understanding that Milo’s difficulties are based on fear is vital, he will try his best to avoid confrontation.

In kennels and with our trainer, Milo has made real progress, he shows natural obedience and has really started to enjoy agility. He loves to go out walking with our volunteer dogwalker. A patient, dedicated new owner, willing to carry on with his training, will make all the difference to this young boy.

He would so much love to find a quiet, supportive new home, without other pets or children.

Its plain to see that Milo’s experience of women has been more favourable so far and he does gravitate towards them. This led us to think a female owner would be preferable. However, he has gained confidence with men also whilst with NWESSR and we now believe he just needs someone who will be gentle towards him and help to give him the fresh start he deserves.

If you can offer Milo the home he needs, please visit https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form/ where you can find out more about adopting a Springer from NWESSR.

 

 

Ben

Here’s young pup Ben who has settled really well into his new home. He is having a great time with his new big brother who he follows everywhere. Ben loves his walks in the park, and his recall is excellent. When he’s not playing he likes to fall asleep by his new owners side, with good old cuddles in the evening.
