Hi fans it’s Ozzy here, you know like the rock star 🌟 I used to be known as Winston, another famous human, but my new mum and dad decided I’m a super star, so I’ve now got a name befitting my status!
Well it’s my first birthday 🎂 today and as part of the celebrations 🍾 I’ve been out for a 8K walk with my new Springer brother Freddie, yes you guessed right, another legendary super star 🌟 so I’m in fantastic company 😀 And that’s before I mention my amazing family who, in preparation for my birthday, took me to the groomer so I look my best for my adoring fans.
I love to play with my big brother and I encourage him to play lots. Sometimes he has had enough and let’s me know, he is older than me to be fair! He is helping me a lot bless him, he reminds me that we need to got back to mum and dad when they have called my name three times 🤣 and when we are on our leads, we walk side by side.
I’ve got a brand new harness and lead to go with my rock star status. When I see my adoring fans and I’m off my lead I run over to say hello and sign autographs, its only polite, and this can take a while before I go back to mum and dad.
I do get very excited at the start of a walk and must admit I do pull a bit 🐕🦺
When our family and friends visit it’s so good to see them i get a little giddy but I soon chill 😎 as a rock star does.
I’ve been visiting a trainer to fine tune my stage presentation, apparently I’m a bit of a jumper, practicing to get onto the kitchen worktop 😀
I really am over the moon 🌙 with my new family and my Springer brother. What a wonderful birthday I’ve had. Thanks for all the fan mail. I love my new family and I know they love me ❤️
My name is Jenson, and if I look familiar to you it’s because I was, until recently, a Springer looking for a new home.
Well, the good news is, all my dreams all came true! Now I’m part of a loving family and I’m here to stay 🥳
I’m a very playful boy and I love playing with my ball and being in the water (and the mud 🤣).
I’m making lots of new friends, and if I say so myself, everyone admires me and says what a handsome lad I am 😍
I’ve had a weekend in the Lake District in our caravan where I played on the beach and went in the sea. I’m in Springer Heaven!
I hope you enjoy my photos 🥰
Hello, I’m Abel, another one of the lucky Springers to find a new home with NWESSR 👋👋
I’ve been here for a few weeks now and my new family are helping me to find my paws. It was a bit scary going to a new home but I’m feeling more confident now. Mum arranges playdates with our friends in the park and we all go for walks together in a little pup party! 🥳🥳
I’m so excited to go out for walks, and when it’s safe for me to go off the lead I like to amuse myself by racing round in huge circles as fast as I can, covering myself in mud and being a giddy kipper! After all, I am our family’s Chief Entertainment Officer!
One of my favourite treats is having a cuddle with my family, up close and personal 🥰 I’d like a cuddle with our cat, but I might have to wait a bit longer for that to happen……!
We are all very happy and I’m living my best life!
Woof woof, love and licks, Abel xxx
Hello, I’m Otis and oh boy, have I got news for you 🥳
So I’ve been adopted and I’m finally here with my forever family. I wasted no time in settling in and making myself at home. They say it feels as if I’ve been with them forever and that I’m a great companion – and a good laugh 🙃😂
I’m eating like a horse and sleeping like a log, and I LOVE going out for my walks. I’m getting better at walking on the lead except when I know we’re going to play ball, when I lose my head a bit as it’s so much fun!
I’ve got to confess I’m addicted to water and whenever I spot a puddle I run up to it, look back at Dad, then I lie down in it, with my tail wagging so hard it’s like a propeller, splashing water and mud everywhere!!
I’ve got some lovely toys, and I’ve removed the stuffing from them to get them just as I like them 🤣🤣
In the evening I jump on the sofa, move a cushion to a suitable position and snuggle up to Mum and Dad until bedtime.
I want to say a very big THANK YOU to everyone who helped me along the way, especially to my endlessly patient and loving foster paw-rents and their gorgeous Springer, who took me in and cared for me while we searched for my forever home.
Hello, my name is Murphy and I’m very pleased to introduce myself to you lovely folks 👋👋
If you think I look familiar, well that’s probably because I’m on the front page of the NWESSR 2026 Calendar. I think you need to be the most gorgeous and adorable Springer to be awarded that honour, so I’m ever so proud!
I needed a new home last year and NWESSR found one for me. I was a bit bewildered at first and probably not on my best behaviour 🙃😬, but my family give me plenty of space and I’m calming down, slowly but surely. I’m learning to trust again, and seek reassurance from my humans, and while I know I’m not a perfect dog yet, I’m getting there!
I’m a smart lad, so it’s good to be able to exercise my brain as well as my body. We play lots of games which they call training and I call fun 🥳
With lots of love and licks, Murphy xxx
Hi, I’m Selby although you may remember me as ” Santa Paws” from NWESSR’s advent appeal!
I’ve been living in my new home for a couple of months now and , although I miss my first family, I think I’ve settled down very well with my new Mum and I’m well on the way to getting her fully trained! 🤣
We live in a small village with lots of lovely walks through the surrounding fields and woods, there’s also a river to swim in when the weather warms up. In the evening we like to cuddle on the sofa, I’m a real softy at heart. 🥰
We have a big garden to play in, with lots of bushes and undergrowth to explore (there always seem to be treats hidden here and there too! ) My Mum says it’s a wildlife garden, so she must have made it for me, because I can be a bit wild at times. She says we are going to go to the seaside this summer which sounds like fun! Can’t wait! 🤩
We meet lots of friendly people on our walks and they all say I’m adorable, some of them want to take me home with them but Mum says ” no way! ” I’ve made a few doggie friends too and I’m getting a little more confident about greeting them.
I should mention one little problem I have, which is that I tend to ” hump ” when I get over excited 😳🙈 I’m working on this with my Mum and NWESSR’s kind behaviourist to direct my feelings into more appropriate activities when I get overwhelmed.
All in all I’m having a great time and I’m looking forward to a fun future in my new home.
Love and licks, Selby xxx
Remember Toby who was looking for a new home? Well, we’re absolutely delighted to share the good news from his new home 🥰
Toby settled in straight away, sleeping and eating well, he enjoys his walks and runs round like crazy off the lead. His new Dad told us that he can’t believe he is 13 – he is more like an 8 year old!
Toby loves his four new beagle friends who come to visit 🐾🐾🐾🐾
And as you can see, he has definitely mastered the Springer Sprawl 🤣🤣
Hello lovely people, my name is Devon and last year I came to NWESSR and joined my wonderful Forever Family 💝💝
Here’s what my Mum has to say about me: ✍✍✍
“Devon has the loveliest soul and is the sweetest boy that just loves a cuddle.
He is very well mannered and is an absolute credit to his previous Mum.
He loves to splash around in any water that he can find. He steals anyone’s shoes, but just one of them! He also picks up any dropped washing on the way to the laundry basket, a very helpful boy!
He’s been enjoying lovely long walks on the beach and in the countryside, he particularly loves running through the undergrowth in typical springer style.
He loves to play with the other dogs in the family and has stolen everyone’s heart 🥰 ”
I think they like me !!!!!
Little Bruno has sent us this photo of him and his new brother wearing their beautiful Muck Boots 😂🤪🤣
His new Mum says he is adorable… apart from when he and Bertie, his partner in crime, find muddy, stinky bogs!
Bruno continues to go from strength to strength. At eight months old he’s still a baby, but he’s coming along nicely and doing really well with his training, he is a bright little boy 🤎
Another happy ending!
