Beautiful Liz went to the Rainbow Bridge today.

She left us here on earth much, much too early. 

Liz was full of life and a Springer through and through. 

She never met a soul that she did not like.

The only comfort in Liz leaving is that she has many friends waiting for her at the Bridge ~ furry and human alike.

Love your pets and do your best to keep them safe everyday.

Hello All -

I'm A.J. and am a very active six-year-old, who loves to run. I do quite well off-leash and love to explore the field.  I am quick and graceful but I am always willing to stop for a tummy rub. I am a petite girl, and have found a good way to get by my big foster brothers is to walk underneath them!! I want nothing more than to please the humans in my life.

I love to play with my foster brothers and I love to snuggle!!  I am doing well leash-training and I always aim to please my family.  I am a little too interested in cats, so need to find a home with no felines. 

I have had a bit of a rough time lately - I have had some little bumps that had to be removed.  My foster mom tells me this sometimes happens when girl dogs don't get spayed when they are really young.  All the bumps have been completely removed, and I am healthy, but my new family needs to check my tummy for a few more months to make sure that no more bumps show up. 

My foster mom says: AJ is a very sweet, loving girl who is looking for a home that can provide her with daily exercise and lots of love. She is very much a Velcro dog and loves to hang out with her family.  She would do well with other dogs or as an only dog. She loves human contact, and is hoping she can find a family that will provide the love and care that she needs and deserves.  If you think you are the right family for AJ, please let us know!

Weight: 45 lbs.
Variety: Field-bred

My name is Curly, and I am very friendly, and love to play.  So far, I have gotten along well with all the dogs I have met since I have been in foster care.  I love people, both men and women, and like my Foster Dad's daughter and her friends who are about ten years old.

I am told that I walk very well on a leash, especially for a Springer.  I come when I am called.  I am a very good boy around the house. I don't chew, dig, or counter surf.  I am housetrained, and love to ride in cars.  I also have been crate trained.

Since I am young, my energy level is pretty high, and my tail never stops wagging.  When I roll on my back, to get my chest rubbed, my back leg goes thump,  thump, thump!  I am really looking forward to finding my Forever Home.

Nana, sweet, sweet Nana! 
Nana is also a very loving and smart little girl ~ just like Nana in Peter Pan...that is who she named after! 

Nana was lovingly relinquished to us by her family.  Their living situation had changed and they could no longer care for her.  Nana is a quiet, petite girl who is still trying to figure her new life out.  She is an extremely easy Springer to foster.  Nana is housetrained, comes when called and can sit faster than any other dog in the west. 

Nana is looking for a quiet home where she can live the life she so deserves.  She will be your constant companion and look to share in everything you do.  Nana loves to snuggle and look at you with her big, beautiful hazel eyes.  Nana is a wonderful Springer who has many, many years of love and devotion to give the right family.

Weight: 49 lbs.
Variety: Field-bred

My name is Miss Daisy and I am a very friendly girl who loves everybody I meet; men, women, children, other dogs, and even cats.  I have a long tail and just love to wag it.
  I am housetrained, come when I am called and love to ride in cars. I am a high energy girl who loves to run, but I behave myself around the house.  I am very sweet, affectionate and outgoing

I know all the basics commands, No, Sit, Down.I even bring my empty water dish to my Foster Mom for refilling and bring her a leash to remind her to take me for walks.  Did I tell you I love walks? OK, I do pull a bit on the leash, but since I am so smart, if someone is willing to take me to a training class, I can probably learn to walk with a little less enthusiasm.    

I am looking forward to finding my own Forever Family.

Age: 2 years
Gender: Male
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 42 lbs.
Variety: Field-Bred

Peter is a very lively two year old who loves to play with balls and squeaky toys.  He enjoys having other dogs to play with, but occasionally will be a little bossy.  He is a bouncy outgoing boy who responds well to both men and women.  Peter is well behaved around the house, is housetrained, crate trained and has learned to use a doggie door.

Peter stays with you when walking off leash and comes when called, but he could use a bit of work with on leash skills.  We do not have any history on Peter with either children or cats, but he completely ignored the cats at the vet's office even when they approached him.

Peter is very loving and lives to please you.  He wiggles all over every time he sees you.  He is a quick learner and always tries to do his best.

Parker, CO

Age: 7 months
Gender: Male
Color: Black/White
Weight: 34 lbs.

Robby is a sweet, wonderful puppy.  He made the trip from Utah with his brother Rocky.  They are as close as two brothers can be. 

Robby was taken to the shelter by the breeder because she could not sell him.  That is were he ran into his brother Rocky.  The two of them have been inseparable ever since.

Robby is a Springer puppy through and through!  He is inquisitive, full of energy, and smart.  Robby loves to play with his brother Rocky.  He has learned to Sit, and comes running when called.  As much as Robby enjoys walks, he still needs a bit of work on his leash skills.  He is kennel trained, and loves to have toys in there with him. He likes to stay busy!  Robby is housetrained, but will need constant reinforcement for a while longer to stay that way.  He gets along great with the two older dogs in the house as well.  Robby is a gentleman (as much as a puppy can be) at the vet's office. 

Robby is a great puppy, and with love, guidance, and continued education, he will become the wonderful Springer that he is meant to be.  If you think that your home is Robby's paradise - please contact Jim and Lin right away!

Rocky is a sweet, wonderful puppy.  He made the trip from Utah with his brother Robby.  They are as close as 2 brothers can be.

Rocky is a great puppy and with love, guidance and continued education he will become the wonderful Springer that he is meant to be.   If you feel you have the perfect home for Rocky - please send Jim and Lin an email!

FLETCHER
Ouray, CO

Age: 8 years
Gender: Male
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 40 lbs.
Variety: Field-Bred

Hi, my name is Fletcher, but it really should be The Transformer. You see, I have been transformed while living with my foster family.  I have regained my health, put on 12 pounds and grown a beautiful new coat.  I have learned to trust people again and found that living with cats is OK. 

I like all that attention I get, and one of the things I like the best is to give my foster Mom and Dad a hug when they get home.  I also like to sit in their laps, but they say I'm not a lap dog. Can you imagine!  I also like to ride in the car and go for walks. 

My foster Dad takes me to work with him and out to the barn to do chores. There are so many good smells in the barn! I love stuffed toys and like to  toss and roll with them on the floor.  One of my favorite things is to see what they are made of and spend lots of time pulling out the stuffing.

I am a quiet sensitive guy, who enjoys curling up in my basket and being with my people.  Won't you consider being my new Forever People.

Color: Black/White

Say hi to Vader!  He is a spunky boy who would love a family that can give him the time and attention he needs to become the very best Springer he can be!!  Vader is a gorgeous 1 1/2 year old black and white bench boy.  He is AKC registered with papers to show for it.  Vader is extremely sweet and loving.  He gets along well with his foster brother and most any dog he meets.  He does like to chase cats, but just to see if they want to play!  Vader rides well in the car, he is housetrained, but he is still puppy enough to possibly chew something you forgot to pick up off the floor!!  Vader is good with children, he is just a little too friendly sometimes and thinks jumping up to greet everyone is the best way to make friends! 

Vader's previous family loved him enough to want to give him the best life he could have.  If you think Vader would be just the right dog for you and you would like to give him a happy, loving, new Forever Home, please call us soon!

I think Vader is going to become quite the popular new guy on the block!!

Gender: Male
Color: Black/White
Weight: 38 lbs.
Variety: Field-bred

I am Mick.  Little is known about my past and I would just as soon forget about it and start new memories with a loving family.  Somewhere in my short life of 2-3 years I learned to be house trained and can come when called, still working on Sit and OFF. My foster mom is trying to teach to fetch the morning paper so my new owners won't have to brave the cold.    I do not beg at the table and will only curl up next to you when invited or know when you need a little love.  I am very low key.Feed me, Love me is all I ask. Think of me as a comfortable pair of shoes, easy going, no worries. My foster family can't figure out what toys I like to play with.  Did I mention I love to run with my foster mom, we have this route of 2 miles and after that morning run I will curl up on the floor in whatever room she is in and take a snooze. 

I room well with other dogs and kids, my foster family has a 10 year old and a 12 year old plus the other Springer  in fact. let me tell you about her...better not ,  my foster mom will read this and not think it was funny.

Back to me, I love being outside and I have passed the left alone in the house test.  I do not counter-surf and do not chew.  Pick ME .Love me!!!

PRECIOUS
Logan, UT

Age: 6 years
Gender: Female
Color: Black/White
Weight: 40 lbs.
Variety: Bench/Show-bred

Hi, meet Precious!  Precious is a beautiful, gentle springer with just about everything a person could ask for in a charming companion.  She was not well cared for in her previous home, however she is self confident and resilient, and she will adapt to a new loving family very well.

Precious likes people and dogs.  She'd like to be the top dog, but she isn't pushy about it.  The top dog in her foster home likes her well enough to sleep curled up next to her!  Precious does well on a leash but could use some help with the direction, heel.  She comes when called, even to people she doesn't know very well. 

Precious is pretty energetic and seems much younger than her 6 years.  She still wants to play with the other dogs, just like a puppy!  She will need a home where there is lots of outdoor activity like hiking, skiing, or jogging.  A trip around the block will not be enough exercise for this active pup!  Precious has not met cats that we know of, she doesn't bark much, except to join in on a local bark fest!!  She doesn't jump fences, but will push down the puppy gate to be near her humans.  She is definitely a Velcro dog, always wanting to be by your side.

Precious is a very good dog, and deserves a great new home! Won't you please check out this precious girl!!

MOLLY
Sandy, UT

Age: 2 years
Gender: Female
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 42 lbs.
Variety: Field-bred

My name is Molly.  I am a beautiful liver and white girl.  Up until now I have had it rough.  I had a litter of puppies and when they were old enough my family decided to give me to rescue.  I was an outside dog and my collar was too tight so it rubbed some of the fur off my neck.  My family didn't tell the rescue people much about me.  I am with my great foster family now and they have gotten to know me pretty well.

I have learned a lot in just a few days, like how to use a dog door.  Pretty important!!  I am learning that there is enough dog food for everyone.  I never go potty in the house and I look but don't touch the stuff in the kitchen.  I've also found that toys are a lot of fun!  I like to share toys with my foster brother Fred, he doesn't mind that I like to be in charge.  We love to run together in the yard and play tag!  I am pretty shy around new people and in new situations, but I warm up quickly!  My foster family is nice and patient with me and I like to be loved and sit on laps.  You know, humans aren't so bad when you get the right ones!  My human foster brother is twelve and I like him a lot.  I haven't been around little kids lately.

My foster mom makes a really big deal about how good I am in the house.  She says I'm such a good girl when she leaves me home alone, because I never touch her stuff.  I guess some dogs are naughty in the house, but not me!  I just lie down and relax on the couch or in my kennel.  I like to be in the kennel, but I prefer to have the door left open, because a girl likes options!!  My foster mom also  tells everyone how smart I am.  I pay attention and she thinks I will be easy to train.  I don't know many commands yet but I learn fast and want to please everyone! 

I hope you will give me a Forever Home and a new family to love and learn from, that is my Christmas wish!!

Denver, CO

Age: 2 years
Gender: Female
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 35 lbs.
Variety: Field-bred

Hi, my name is Misty, and I'm a little bundle of energy looking for a home where people will love me and I can love them back!  I'm very entertaining.  Wait till you see me spin in place!

I've had a rough life so far, but I don't let it get me down.  The best day of my life was the day in December when I was rescued!  What a day that was, my first visit inside a car, and into a real house.  I had no idea that there were things like treats, dog toys, loving people, dog doors, walks on leashes, runs at the dog park, and fun dogs to play with!! I really love to chew, and am loving having bones and squeaky toys.  I am still reeling with the wonder of it all!

I love people, and I like other dogs too.  I am fitting right in to the pack (there are three Spaniels at my foster home). Even though I had ideas about being the dominant dog, I am respectful of my elders.  I don't bark (much), jump fences, or crash puppy gates.  I settle down quickly in the house unless my friends want to wrestle.  I have not met any cats yet.

I am looking for a family who will give me lots of TLC and tummy rubs.  I plan to return the love with lots of cuddling and smooching from me.  My new family will have to take me to doggie obedience school so I understand what they expect.  I also need a good run every day to burn off my puppyish exuberance.  I need a fenced yard so I don't go exploring. 

I'm really looking forward to my new life.  I never knew it could be this good! When I find my new Forever Home that will really be the best day of my life!

Rock Springs, WY

Age: 8 months
Gender: Male
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 32 lbs.
Variety: Bench/Show-Bred

Poor Freddy was found along the side of the road with another Springer.  Freddy and his pal were probably on their own for quite awhile because he is pretty thin. Freddy will require some extra feedings to help him put on some weight. He is a gorgeous bench bred neutered male. Freddy is about 8 mos old and has the instincts to make a great hunting dog. He gets along well with other dogs, and he loves people. We are not sure how he would be with cats.  He will need an active family and someone that is willing to work with him and train him.

Freddy's dream is to find a good home where he can be inside most of the time and to be spoiled a lot.

Arnold, NE

Age: 11 months
Gender: Male
Color: Black/White
Weight: 43 lbs.
Variety: Field-Bred

Hi!  My name is Deuce because I am twice as much fun as just one!

Deuce is a grinner!  He greets you with a smile and a body that wiggles from head to tail.   His sweet little face brightens up any gloomy room.  Deuce is house trained, invisible fence trained, rides well in the car, walks fine on the leash,  knows basic commands (and will follow them with treats!), and is a playmate for all of his foster brother and sisters.  Deuce likes people of all ages.  It is unknown how he is with cats at this time.  He is a happy little guy that is willing to please you and snuggle up to you for love and attention.

Deuce has the typical puppy field springer energy and would do best with someone that is willing to channel it into something positive.  He will require daily exercise to keep him and you happy and fit.   He has good instincts in the field and with training could develop into a hunting partner.

Double your fun with Deuce!

I am a mellow, easy going, friendly sort of guy.  I walk pretty well on a leash. If you are looking for a boy who is loving and affectionate. I'm the one for you.  I am obedient and learn quickly, so it won't take be long to pick up on your routine.

I am submissive, so would be OK with other dogs.  Since I don't have any history with children, they would prefer to place me in a home with adults or older children.
