Quieter Homes
Sadly, older dogs and other dogs needing quieter homes often get overlooked in rescue because they don’t have the same appeal as a puppy or younger dog does. However, older and quieter dogs have their own particular advantages, and an abundance of love and companionship to give.
Remember, when you adopt any SRS dog, you will always have access to the support and skills of our Co-ordinators. If you adopt one of our oldies who is on medication or has ongoing health problems, we can provide lifelong support for veterinary bills.
If you have already registered with us to adopt, and see a dog on this page that you would like to know more about, please get in touch on 07923 126736, or contact . If you are not yet registered with us, then please come and find out more by visiting our How to Adopt page.
If you are particularly sympathetic to the welfare of older Springers, whether or not you are in a position to offer one a forever home, then you may wish to find out more about Cara’s Fund, or visit our Friends of SRS page.

Name: Storm
Age: 10
Sex: male
Ref No: 28280183
Good with dogs: yes
Good with cats: untried
Good with Children: yes
Breed: English Springer Spaniel
Reserved: no
Storm is a beautiful, small Springer. Although he is a retired gundog, he is very quiet and timid but he is a very, loving affectionate boy who is well trained. He walks well on lead and has excellent recall. Storm would settle well as an only dog if there was someone around all day or with one or more quiet, settled dogs who will allow him to share all the cuddles. He would not be suitable for a family wishing to do 10 mile hikes but would be ideal for someone who is home much of the time and would enjoy gentle but regular walks.

Name: Ronnie
Age: 7
Sex: Male
Ref No: 15150188
Good with dogs: yes
Good with cats: untried
Good with Children: yes
Breed: ESS
Reserved: n
Ronnie is a super, affectionate springer. He is 7 and still very full of life and is eager to get out on his walks, though he pulls on the lead so needs some work with this. He seeks out cuddles and kisses and loves everyone and everything he meets. He loves playing with his football in the garden and is discovering new toys in his foster home. He is great with children and has bonded very well with the 7 year old in his foster house. He is a little bewildered by the change in his life, but love and patience will sort that. He does have a problem with his eyes which could mean he may lose his sight in future years and because of this he would be better homed with another dog. He has lived in a multi-dog household and is well mannered with other dogs, giving them the space they require. Ronnie will make a wonderful, loving addition to someone's home.

Name: Deefor
Age: 11
Sex: male
Ref No: 27270186
Good with dogs: yes
Good with cats: yes
Good with Children: yes
Breed: English Springer Spaniel
Reserved: no
Deefor is a lovely 11 year old boy who has a fantastic nature. He is a very well behaved, well trained boy. He is in foster with another dog but would be equally as happy as an only dog in his new home. Deefor loves his walks and has excellent recall, he can pull a little on lead as he is used to being walked at a fast pace. Deefor does not like being left alone and so would be best in a home where someone is around all day and wouldn’t mind him sleeping in the same room !
