“Say hello to Jake, a fine, healthy, soon to be 7 year old springer, who needs a loving home with a family who have plenty of time to indulge him in his love of walks and the outdoors.

He’s come into NWESSR’s care as a change in family circumstances means his owner is unable to give Jake the exercise and attention he needs.

Jake is a friendly, well-behaved boy in the home, doesn’t mind being left on his own for short periods, and is happy to travel in a car. He also loves a good run about in an enclosed area. However, outdoors off the lead his recall is not his strongest point as he is easily distracted. Jake has been known to chase cats and loves watching birds.

Jake’s a big, strong spaniel, with a tendency to pull on the lead, but he has a gentle nature and loves his toys and games. He has never lived in a household with children, and whilst he has never displayed any aggression toward them, prospective owners should bear this in mind.

Is Jake the dog for you? If so, please complete a vetting form, mentioning JAKE in your application.”
