Is 2024 the year to welcome a new springer into your life???

Sticky

Dear Member/supports

Happy New Year!

We hope that you and your dogs have enjoyed festive season.

Unfortunately, for NWESSR this time has seen an increase in the number of owners wishing to surrender their dogs. 

In common with all rehoming organisations, NWESSR is still dealing with the aftermath of the Covid 19 pandemic. As has been well documented, this led to a surge in demand for dogs followed by a post-pandemic abandonment of many of them. Subsequently we have experienced a decrease in applications to adopt, which is now compounded by the cost-of-living crisis. 

At NWESSR we will never drop the criteria for homing that potential applicants must meet, but this means we are currently facing a shortage of suitable homes. Therefore, if you are considering offering a home to a rescue springer, and especially if you have springer/rescue experience, we would love to hear from you.

We have lovely springers of all ages needing our help, but are particularly keen to hear from potential homes interested in rehoming young male springers or pairs of springers. To see some of the beautiful dogs we have recently rehomed do check out our ‘Rehomed Dogs’ section on the website:

https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/category/re-homed-dogs/

If you meet our criteria for rehoming teams our team, and the springers on our waiting list. are waiting to from you. Please complete our vetting form which is available here or email homing@englishspringerrescue.co.uk

Thank you

Molly

Molly is a sweet 12yrs old girl who has had a difficult time in her twilight years. She has come to NWESSR through a set of circumstances which are in no way any fault of her own. 

Molly’s current owner found her wandering the moors in August 22 at this time she was in poor condition. She took her home and endeavoured to find her owner through social media which she did. However, they agreed she could stay with the present owner. 

In the first home Molly was a working dog who lived outside in kennels with other dogs. 

The current owner’s home is a busy home which can be noisy at times, with people and her three dogs. The owner has visiting children, which are of different ages and the noise and bustle can cause Molly to be a little nervous, however when the children are quiet, she usually loves a cuddle with them.  Molly has never shown any aggression. She is happy around the other dogs and walks quite happily on or off lead, as much as her age and touch of arthritis allow. More frequent walks rather than a long single walk suits her best. She has a little pain relief if she has done more than she perhaps should have. As Molly is over 10 years of age NWESSR will provide financial assistance for vet fees. 

Molly lives with 3 cats and a horse and is happy to do so, birds are not an issue either. 

Molly is looking for a home with all that TLC she deserves in her twilight years, a quieter home where she can fully relax and enjoy life to the full with lovely walks, good food, treats, playtime and lots of love. 

If you think you are that person please visit https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form/ where you can find out about adopting a dog from us and complete our online application form.

Beck & Bane

I just have to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to NWESSR for their incredible dedication in bringing families and furry friends together! Earlier this year, our family was lucky enough to welcome two amazing Springer Spaniel brothers, Beck and Bane, into our home thanks to their wonderful work.

From day one, these boys have melted seamlessly into our lives, filling our days with love and laughter. It’s like they’ve always been a part of the family! Their sweet personalities, love for cuddles, and boundless energy for adventures in the woods and on the beach have brought so much joy into our lives.

And let’s talk about their love for water – it’s infectious! They’re like little water-loving magicians, always finding a pond to splash in during our outings.

If you’re thinking about adding a Springer Spaniel to your family, I can’t recommend NWESSR enough! Our experience with them has been absolutely amazing. Their dedication and professionalism made the adoption process smooth sailing, and we’re forever grateful for the joy Beck and Bane have brought into our lives.

Tina

We are so grateful to all the amazing people who volunteer so much time to give us these fabulous new family members!

We can’t imagine not having Tina in our family! She was totally meant to be, & was at home the minute she landed with us. We spent New Year’s Eve day racing around in the snow in Scotland & the evening sprawled out by the open fire….. she’s living her best life.

Harvey

This is Harvey a lovable 8 years old Springer.  Harvey is coming to NWESSR through no fault of his own.  His owners are relocating to a narrow boat and moving away from the network of family who currently help with looking after Harvey.  This means that if he moved with them he could find himself being left alone for long periods of time, so his owners want him to continue to have a loving and happy home.

Harvey has grown up with children and also had contact with extended families children.  He is described as being loving and gentle with them. 

Harvey has also lived with another dog and 3 cats all of whom he has got on with.  Although when he’s out on his walks he’s not too keen on new dogs if they come to greet him when he’s on his lead.  It’s another story though when he’s off his lead and free to run around he is fine with them.  As with most springers he is partial to chasing birds.  Harvey is well trained in recall and by just calling his name he will usually come back to you.

Harvey loves playing with his soft toys but isn’t selfish with them and lets you join in.

Harvey needs a family that will continue to provide the love and exercise he needs.  He could go to a family with older children and also another dog and cats. You can find out more about adopting Harvey, or another Springer and apply online at https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form/

Oscar

Oscar is a handsome 7 years old Springer, who is sadly in need of a new home as his current owner has developed major health issues and is in hospital. When discharged he will no longer be able to provide Oscar with the care that he needs. His owner’s family have been doing their very best to help, but Oscar is being left for very long periods and is pining for company.

Oscar has lived with the owner’s grandchild for some of his life and loved playing with them.  He has also been around other grandchildren and enjoyed his time with them. 

Oscar gets very excited when he knows he’s going for his walks and initially pulls on his lead as he cannot wait to get out and run around.  Once he knows he’s going to be out for a while he settles down and enjoys his time out.  He loves being off the lead to do what typical Springers love and that is to explore, but he’ll not let you out of his sight as wants you to have fun too.  Oscar will come back to you unless he gets a scent of something a little more interesting, but if you call his name he will return.  Oscar knows he is not to cross any roads without you giving a little whistle to say it is safe when he is on the lead with you.

Oscar has never lived with another dog or any cats.  If he sees a cat when he is out he does try to chase them along with any birds.  He can be quite shy of any dogs he meets on his walks but once he sees them regularly he just wants to play.

Oscar is a very loyal and loveable dog.

Oscar needs someone who will give him all the attention, love and walks he has been used to and also some more training to encourage is Springer traits.

Willow

Willow’s new family have told us: “Today (21 March) is Willow’s 4th birthday. She has been with us four months and is the most adorable cuddle monster. She is such a character. She is wilful, hugely intelligent, confident and so sweet, even when she is more mud than dog. She is just coming out of a phantom pregnancy so needs a little extra love and reassurance (any excuse for extra cuddles…). She has given us our lives back and we love her to bits.”

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!

Coco

his is Coco, an adorable liver/white girl who is here with NWESSR looking for her forever home.

 

Coco is two years nine months old and is here because her previous owner has had changes in her family life, which means Coco is not having the time spent with her that they think she needs. 

 

Coco is happy to be around extended family dogs and has lived with an older dog in her previous home.

 

She tends to be a little shy around new dogs, but does not seem to have an issue with cats and birds. She loves her long walks and will respond to her name when called, particularly enjoying off lead walks.

 

Coco has lived with children 6-16 years and enjoys sharing the family sofa being nice and close. She travels in the car and gets excited when shoes go on and it’s time for a walk. 

 

This happy girl needs a new home with someone who will enjoy long walks with Coco, having lots of companionable times, a coffee shared with a doggy puppuccino – so many things Coco will enjoy.

 

If you think you can be that person to give Coco her forever home then please visit https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form/ where you can find out more about adopting a Springer and a link to our online application form.

Miko

Introducing Miko, a very young male dog of one year and two months. He has come into NWESSR through absolutely no fault of his own.

 

This cute young Springer is Liver/white, he has bundles of energy, he wants to walk, play and learn and now needs an owner who will enjoy doing just that with him. Training him eg. recall work will need to be continued.

 

Miko’s previous owners were unable to spend the time exercising and training him, they were not aware how much exercise and stimulation Springers needed.

 

He has no experience of children. He is ok with dogs he meets outside of the home and may be able to live with another dog. Any time spent with Miko in the past has been a little chaotic, he will benefit from a home with a routine, as all young Springers he does demand attention.

 

He will travel in the car short distances and has visited residential kennels three times. He walks at present on a figure of eight lead, he is only let off lead in an enclosed area at the moment, as his recall needs work.

This lovely boy needs a home where he can have love in his life with long interesting walks, playtime and fun which Springers love so much. 

 

If you can give Miko the home he needs please visit https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form/
