Bella is a lovely, lively, eleven year old who is looking for her forever home.
She is a very active girl who needs lots of exercise and mental stimulation to keep her happy.
At the moment Bella is walked twice a day for around 45 minutes but ideally she would benefit from longer walks and the opportunity to run off lead in a safe, secure area, to burn off her surplus energy. She also needs plenty of mental stimulation with sniffing games, retrieval and recall to treats.
Bella can be a little anxious at times when she meets other dogs, however we believe with the right handling this can be alleviated.
As with all NWESSR dogs who are over 10 years old at the time of adoption, Bella qualifies for our support with vets bills.
If you think you could make Bella the happiest dog in the world please click on the application button below to find out more about the adoption process and complete an online form application.
Five year old Bear’s owner’s describe him as a loving, loyal character with a big heart
Bear is a friendly boy who loves to play with a ball which he will drop on command, he seems to enjoy playing with children and will usually share his toys.
He loves his walks and being off lead and normally comes when he is called.
His new home should be pet free, as he has been living in a home with a number of other dogs and cats and he is finding this overwhelming. Bear was attacked by another dog as a youngster which has made him a little anxious.
As a young Springer, Bear is going to need an owner with the time and patience to bond with him and give him the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. When trust has been established the owner will be able to gradually give him the socialisation he has missed.
Bear is going to be a great friend and companion to his new family in the happy home he so deserves.

Hello, Milo here with my news!
My brother Marley and I are both in our new homes, woohoo 🥳
It’s true that we were a ‘bit’ excited on Adoption Day and yes, I did eat all the biscuits, but a Springer’s got to do what a Springer’s got to do – all’s fair in love and gravy bones 🤣
Here I am with my best mate the Shetland pony, and relaxing after a day of fun.
Life is great 🤩and I am very happy, still a bit of a wild child, totally adorable and mad as a lorry load of frogs 🐸🐸🐸
Hi folks, Marley here with news of Another Happy Ending!
You might remember me and my brother Milo – we were the youngsters looking for new homes in May.
After our appeal went live, so many people applied to adopt us that the NWESSR team had a very difficult job to pick out the perfect homes for us, but it didn’t take long until they had chosen our forever families 💝💝
On adoption day, we were very excited to meet our new families, but we soon calmed down and they could see past the giddy kippers to the handsome, clever and adorable boys that we are. I was a bit cross that Milo went first and ate nearly all the Adoption Day Biscuits, but that’s a small price to pay really isn’t it? 🤣🤣
Anyway, now I live near the coast and I go on the beach, which is Springer Heaven! I live with a cat and we get on really well, and my best friend is a sausage dog – he’s only got little legs but we have a great time playing together 🥳
After a busy day, playing, running and training, I like to relax in style – doing The Big Springer Sprawl!
Milo will write to you soon with all the news from his new home 🥰
NWESSR are asking for your help in raising funds for Emily.
Emily is nearly 12 years old, and had lived with her original owners since she was a puppy, then her life was turned upside down and she was surrendered to NWESSR.
When she came into our care we discovered that she had a large mass attached to her spleen which required immediate emergency surgery. It was touch and go but she came through the operation and after a few days in hospital, she is recovering in the home of one of our kind foster carers.
Emily is normally a bright, active girl, very loving and well behaved, her foster carer says she is no trouble at all!
As you can imagine this was an expensive procedure and we would be so grateful if you feel able to make a small donation to help us with the cost.
It’s hard to believe it’s already June, but it is, which means that it’s nearly Dogs Day Out! This year’s
event is on Sunday, 28th June 2026, from 12-4pm, and all of us here at NWESSR would really love for
you to come along and join us for a fun afternoon!
We’re as busy as ever helping Springers in Need, so it’s also a great opportunity to raise much-needed
funds for NWESSR. There is a £2 entry fee for adults, children’s entry is free. Everyone is welcome, so
please bring along your family and friends – and remember that any breed of dog can enter our dog
show!
As usual, there will be lots of things for both two- and four-legged visitors to enjoy – including favourites
such as the dog show, the have-a-go activities, a tombola, and a raffle. We will also have craft stalls
selling some fabulous handmade items. All proceeds raised are in aid of NWESSR.
This year, NWESSR’s trainer will be running a 30-minute training session at 12.30pm, so why not join in
and ‘Teach Your Dog an Emergency Stop’!
The first dog show class starts at 1pm, but please register at the entry tent beforehand so that the
classes can start on time. £2 per entry:
Class 1 – Loveliest Lady
Class 2 – Fabulous Fella
Class 3 – Waggiest Tail
Class 4 – Best Veteran
Class 5 – Best 6 Legs
Class 6 – Best Paw Shaker
Class 7 – Best NWESSR Dog
Class 8 – Best Rescue
The have-a-go activities, including Dog Agility, Dog Show Jumping, Fastest Recall and Gun Dog Scurry
will be available to take part in throughout the afternoon, these are also £2 per entry.
The ever-popular Pizza Principles will be selling their wood-fired pizzas again (and will be generously
donating to NWESSR for each pizza sold, as usual), and delicious homemade cakes and drinks will be
available in the Village Hall.
Important Information
Parking is free. Please follow our car parking attendant’s instructions and park in the designated area of

This annual event is only possible with the hard work of our volunteers, and we are always looking for
extra people to help on the day. If you can spare some time to help to set up, can help out with the
activities or on a stand, can offer a prize for the raffle or tombola, or can bake some cakes or biscuits to
sell in the Village Hall, please email: dogsdayout@englishspringerrescue.co.uk – any support is greatly
appreciated!
If you are kindly intending to bring along cakes or biscuits on the day, it would be useful to know in
advance what you will be bringing – just so that we can plan accordingly!

We really hope to see you there on Sunday, 28th June 2026!
Hello! Geoff here 👋👋
Guess what – I’VE FOUND MY FOREVER FAMILY 🥳🥳🥳🥳
You might know me better as Jett, but I now have a new name and a new home!
I was in Springer School, but I graduated and now look at me – living my best life, happy as Larry and with a nice big settee where I can do The Springer Sprawl to my heart’s content!
Thank you everybody who has helped me along the way 🙏
New owners are enjoying having him so much. On a typical day, Chance likes to run out in the garden in the morning to clear it of any birds, they then go out for a walk and return for breakfast before Chance gets in his chair overlooking the garden and has a nap. The 3 of them spend a lot of time in the garden and go to the beach almost every second day, Chance loves it, they mostly keep him on a long lead at present but he has been off lead a few times when the beach is quiet and he has recalled well.
They also go on country walks, sometimes with a friend and his dog Ralph, who Chance gets on with really well. He doesn’t quite know how to approach strange dogs but owner is working on it following trainers instructions.
Owner says he is a bit obsessed with watching gun dog training videos. They also plan to start running together.
Chance loves going camping and will lie on a deck chair in the camper van with the door open, just watching the world go by ( he loves sitting in chairs, he has one in the house overlooking the garden, which is a particular favorite) At night he sits on the sopha with his owners, sharing himself between them.
Hello everyone, I’m Sadie and I’m here to say a great big THANK YOU to everyone who helped me when I needed a new home.
At 12 years old I’m no spring chicken, and I was a bit worried that nobody would want me, but they did, and here I am in my home with my wonderful paw-rents who adore me 🥰
Since being adopted I’ve got a whole new lease of life! I was a little, erm, tubby when I arrived, but I’ve been on a diet, and am following an exercise regime suitable for an older lady, and now I look like a supermodel Springer!
I’ve got a ‘bulldozer nose’ and when it’s time to get up I poke my nose under the duvet to wake the family up. Who needs an alarm clock when they have a Springer?! I’m also really helpful when we’re getting ready to go out and I round up my lead, and all the shoes and boots I can find 😍
In our little village, I’m rapidly becoming everyone’s friend. I love meeting people so we go out together to the shops, cafes (where I got a sausage 😋), and I’m even welcome at the hairdressers 😆 I also like hanging out at the allotment but gardening isn’t really my thing so I sit and watch Mum and Dad hard at work!
I love a paddle and a swim. Mum will be taking me camping in the Yorkshire Dales and Wales at some campsites where I can have lots of adventures, wet and dry 🥳
I’m a very, very happy little lady.
Love and licks, Sadie Springer xxx
