Dogs needing homes, News

Ozzy

In Ozzy’s words 

I wanted to tell you that I am having a short break from finding my new home. I haven’t always shown my best side when potential adopters visit me, not that I do anything wrong, it’s just I am inclined to go on a sniffari in the paddock,  instead of engaging in polite conversation. This has led them to believe I don’t like them. But who can blame me, I am in kennels and when out  I make the most of my freedom. So NWESSR decided to teach me scenting, as this would be something I could do with new owners. I absolutely love it. 

Then one day I came out of my kennel and was so lame on my back leg I couldn’t put it down (ouch). Following an xray it seems I have ruptured my cruciate ligament. So I am booked in for an operation to repair it and this will delay my rehoming. At least I will be recuperating in a home, as a kind volunteer has offered to nurse me. I don’t seem to have the best of luck, but I am lucky to have people at NWESSR who care about me and will ensure that I am back to full fitness asap. This is despite a collective “ouch” from them at the cost of £4500 for the operation.

I hate to think what my future would have been if NWESSR were not willing to help me. Please don’t visit me with grapes as dogs are not allowed them. But If you would like to contribute to my op and help NWESSR, I would be your friend forever.

News, Re-homed dogs

Willow

We’d like to introduce Willow, a much-loved family pet who is seeking a new home through no fault of her own. Changing circumstances mean her family are struggling to give her the time and attention that she deserves.

Willow is three and a half years old and is described as a lovely obedient dog. As you might expect from a young Springer, Willow is lively and bouncy. She enjoys a good run around and will benefit from lots of exercise.

If you’d like to apply to adopt Willow, or another Springer seeking a forever home, please visit https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form/ to find out more and apply online.

Sasha

Meet Sasha, a very lovely 2 year old Springer who is looking for her forever home.

Sasha needs someone with plenty of time and patience to help her settle into a new routine, as she’s had lots of change in her life recently.

She’ll have lots of energy so needs plenty of exercise and being a young dog, will probably enjoy some fun games and training activities.

If this sounds like something you can offer Sasha, or another Springer, please apply via our website:

Bella

Meet Bella, who will soon be available for adoption due to a change in family circumstances.

Bella is a beautiful 18 month old girl who is described as ‘loving and affectionate’ and is clearly much loved in her current home. She’s currently living with her litter mate Bailey, but it is likely that she would settle well as an only dog or with another calm male dog. Her litter mate Bailey has also come into our care and if circumstances are right, both dogs could be adopted by an experienced Springer owner as a pair.

Bella is a lively and intelligent dog, with a strong prey drive, who is quick to learn and eager to please. She pulls on the lead but walks better with a harness. She has been taught to recall with a whistle, but a bond with the new owner will need to be established, before it is deemed completely reliable.  We are looking for a quiet, cat-free home, where she won’t be alone for long periods, and owners who can provide plenty of exercise, training and activities which will bring out the full potential of this lovely young dog.

If you can offer a home to Bella, or another Springer, please apply via our website: https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form

Re-homed dogs

Mabel

Meet Mabel, who is coming into our care and will soon be ready for adoption.

 Mabel’s six years old and is looking for a new home through no fault of her own. Her current owners have started a family and are now finding it difficult to meet her needs.

 Mabel likes playing ball and retrieving and she enjoys a good run around off the lead.

 If you think you can provide a suitable home, with plenty of exercise and companionship, for Mabel or another Springer, please apply via our website: https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form/.

Buster

Meet Buster, four years old and full of fun!

Buster is looking for a new home, through no fault of his own. Buster has epilepsy, which is controlled by medication. NWESSR will cover the cost of medical treatment for his epilepsy, and ideally we are looking for someone who understands this condition.

Buster’s favourite activities are long walks and ball games, and he loves to retrieve. He is used to being off lead and has good recall once he knows you. He’s described as very affectionate and enjoys a cuddle.

If you can offer a home to Buster, or another Springer, please apply via our website: https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form

Coco

Meet Coco, a beautiful three-year old Springer looking for a new home. 
 
Sadly, Coco’s family circumstances have changed and she’s no longer getting the exercise and company that a young lively Springer needs. 
 
Coco is good with other dogs, but she’s not used to cats. She needs an adult-only home. 
 
Her current owners describe Coco as a clever dog, she loves a game of ball and a good run around, and is good offlead once a bond is established. We believe she has the potential to bring a lot of fun and happiness to the right home.
 
If you can offer a calm home, plenty of exercise, additional training and mental stimulation, please apply via our website: https://www.englishspringerrescue.co.uk/vetting-form

Dogs Day Out Message

I would like to extend a huge thank you, to all the people who came together and made NWESSR’s Dogs Day Out such a big success this year.

Julie Hesmondhalgh did a superb job of co-ordinating the event, along with the many volunteers who came together, giving their time freely to put on a fantastic day.

We had an excellent attendance with adopters old and new, some travelling a fair distance to be there. It was a pleasure to see you putting your dogs through

Their paces on the activities and proudly showing off your  rescued dogs in the classes. I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with you all and seeing

How happy the dogs are. They are all winners in the eyes of the NWESSR team. Thank you to the stall holders who supported our event and to the first aid team ensuring we

Were all kept safe. Once again, thank you to all who worked hard to put on a show.

 

Wendy Taylor

NWESSR Chairperson

 

A full report and photos of the event will follow shortly, plus results of all the classes and activities, so please revisit the website to see them.
