Thank you for your
interest in a rescue English Springer Spaniel.
If you
are interested in finding out more about a
Springer Spaniel listed on this page, please
complete an
ADOPTION APPLICATION
(you will be redirected to our National
website) and it will be forwarded to our
regional coordinator within a day or two.
When the coordinator receives your
application, you will receive an email with
further instructions on how to proceed with
our process. We will be able to consider all
the dogs we have in our care, including ones
that may not yet be listed on this page. By
submitting an application, you are not
committed nor guaranteed to adopting through
our program. It is merely the first step we
take in consideration of adoption. In
addition, we cannot allow anyone to
visit/meet with one of our dogs until an
adoption application has been submitted and
reviewed by the Coordinator.
All
adoptions in the "Rocky Mountain Region"
(Colorado, Nebraska, Utah and Wyoming) are
considered LOCAL and NOT interstate. We can
usually arrange some help with final transport.
We do normally request that you meet the dog you
are interested in before adoption can be
arranged.
Thank
you for considering a rescued dog! It isn't an
expeditious process, so we appreciate your
patience. We are a volunteer run organization,
and do it for the love of our dogs. Our goal is
to find a perfect forever home for each and
every one of them!

Variety: Bench-bred
Don't let the
seven-year age, fool
you, I am a strong and
lively boy. I just love
long walks and am
looking to find a family
who enjoys them, too. I
have learned to Sit and
Shake for treats. My
house training is
excellent and I love to
ride in cars
Once I get to know
you, I am a very loving,
affectionate boy. If you
want a Springer who will
snuggle with you, be
devoted and give you
kisses, then I am your
Boy . I have to admit I
am a Ladies Man. I just
love it, when my Foster
Mom has her lady friends
over. I turn on the
charm and work the room,
going from lady to lady,
giving kisses and asking
for pets. Many ladies
have said that if they
could adopt a dog, they
would adopt me. They say
I have a great
personality. I also
enjoy helping my Foster
Mom bake and cook in the
kitchen. OK, so I
counter surf a little
bit….but since I am
short, she can put
things in the back where
I can't reach them.
I get along well with
other dogs, who are
submissive. As a bench
bred-boy, I didn't know
anything about hunting
when I came to my foster
home. My little
“fieldie” foster sisters
have shown me the ropes,
and now I enjoy looking
for bunnies, squirrels,
birds and deer in our
neighborhood. I would do
best in an adult home
where one of the family
members is home a
majority of the time. If
I could find a forever
family like that, I
would be the happiest
dog in the world!

My name is Copper and
I am learning about the

weeks ago I spent all my
time outside in a dog
run, and slept in a dog
house. I am a happy,
friendly guy, who likes
people of all ages. I
get on well with cats
and dogs of all sizes.
My foster mom says I am
a sweet, gentle soul.
I like chews, ride well
in the car, and have
learned to use the doggy
door. It's so nice to be
in the house, and am
doing well with
housetraining. I am
eager to please, and am
very sensitive to
correction. I know how
to Sit, and am learning
how to walk on lead. My
foster family says I am
in great health, and
have many years to be
someone's devoted
companion. Won't you be
mine???

Heeeere's.......Striper!!
Striper is not your
usual 14-year-old
gentleman. You would
never guess from his
spry steps and his
gorgeous appearance that
he is getting up in
years. He is a very
gentle dog in spite of
dealing with some pretty
harsh living conditions
most of his life. Even
with the difficulties of
his previous life he is
still the sweetest and
most loving dog you
could ever meet. He had
firecrackers thrown into
his kennel in the early
years, which of course,
made him very gun shy.
In his day he was also a
hunting champion!
Striper is an AKC
registered dog, but he
doesn't let that go to
his head!! He loves all
other dogs, in fact he
has spent quite a few of
the past years sharing
his kennel with a
beautiful French
Brittany Spaniel, and
they are the best of
friends! Striper is
also good with cats and
loves children. He is a
very social dog and
enjoys people of all
ages! He loves
attention and as a
typical Springer, feels
he can never get
enough!!
But what's not to love
about a dog who is easy
going, obedient, playful
and friendly! Striper
also rides well in a car
and walks very nicely on
a leash, no pulling at
all. So he would be
happy to go with you
anywhere! He is house
trained, though he
hasn't spent much time
indoors lately, before
being taken into
rescue. In his younger
years he might have been
known to climb out of
his 8 ft. kennel. But
now that he's a bit more
settled in life, I don't
think that would be so
much of a problem.
Striper's previous owner
had to leave town and
wasn't able to take
Striper and his friend
Brittany along, so they
had to stay behind with
a very kind neighbor
watching out for them.
This special dog just
needs a lot of love and
attention in his
remaining years to let
him know how much love
he still has to give and
what a VID (Very
Important Dog) we know
that he is!!! Can you
take Striper into your
heart and your home to
give him the love that
he deserves?
Please call about
Striper today!

Gender: Male
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 58 lbs.
Variety: Bench/Show-bred
Look at Lucky!!
Lucky is one handsome
dog! He was a pretty
shaggy guy when we
picked him up from the
shelter, but under all
that fur, was a stunning
Springer. His foster
mom couldn't believe the
change in him after his
spiffy new haircut!
Lucky is a very calm
dog, he has enough years
under his belt to know
plenty about life now,
he doesn't have to learn
and explore as much as
he used to. He is a low
maintenance guy who
loves to lay around and
grab lots of nap time.
Then when it's time to
go outside to play, or
on a walk, he has stored
plenty of energy to run
and run!
Lucky is good on a
leash, he doesn't pull
much. He is
housetrained, he doesn't
chew, or dig, or bark.
Lucky knows his basic
commands like sit, stay,
come, no, and he is a
good listener. When
Lucky is off leash and
having fun, he will come
back very easily when
called. Lucky does love
his humans! He is very
affectionate and loving
and will take all the
petting he can get.
Lucky would love to
snuggle next to you in
bed, but he is perfectly
happy to sleep at the
foot of the bed as well.
Lucky is very good with
people, he likes
children, and does well
with cats. He also
likes other dogs, it
just might take a little
time to get acquainted.
Lucky is just a sweet,
handsome, great old boy,
who will fit in easily
to your home without any
fuss! Wouldn't you love
a dog like Lucky?

Age: 8 years
Gender: Male & Female
Color: Black/White
Weight: 50 & 40 lbs.
Variety: Field-bred
We are up for
adoption together. Our
Foster Mom says we are
so close, we are like
one dog.
Moe:
"I am very friendly, but
more laid back than my
Sister. Getting pets is
also a favorite activity
for me and I especially
like ladies. I am well
behaved, housetrained
and know basic commands,
such as sit, no, come. I
zig and zag a bit
on leash, but stay close
on off leash walks. I get
along well with other
dogs. "
Daisy:
"I am very friendly,
especially once I get to
know you. I love to be
close to my people and
get lots of pets. That is
the greatest. I just
love to be hugged and
held. I would rather
get pets than play with
toys. I love to be
outside and run and
play, but stay close
when off leash and come
when called. I also
walk well on leash. I
am a good girl around
the house and am
housetrained. I love my
brother, but can be a
little defensive with
other large males until
I get to know them. "
Both:
"Since we came from a
shelter, our Foster Mom
doesn't have any history
for us with kids or
cats, so our best
placement would be with
an adult household. Our
energy level is
moderate. Times have
been a bit rough and we
are on the thin side,
but are working to get
back to a normal weight.
We are happy to ride in
cars and will actually
fall asleep on a longer
ride. "
This bonded pair will
only be placed together.

Variety: Field-bred
Hi, I'm Beau and it
would be very nice to
meet you!! I just came
out of the shelter where
someone left me in the
overnight drop-off box,
can you believe that? I
am really happy to be in
such a great foster home
now where life is so
much better! I sure
love to run around and
stretch my legs on the
40 acres around our
house. It gives me lots
of good exercise!
My idea of greeting
people is to jump right
up and say hi, but my
foster mom is trying to
teach me that those
aren't good manners. I
am working hard to walk
well on the leash, and
learn all the house
rules. I like all the
other dogs in my foster
home and I do very well
with the dog-savvy cats
that live here. My
foster mom doesn't know
if I would chase the
cats, if they started
running. I haven't told
her about that yet! I
am a very sweet and
loving dog. I enjoy
lots of attention and
pets, like all great
Springers do!! I love
to play with my
two-legged foster
brothers, but they are
older and know how to
handle a dog. I might
be a little bit
rambunctious for small
children, that is
something I still have
to figure out!
I do not like the
crate or dog house very
much right now. Small
areas seem to make me
very nervous. But I am
a very good learner and
I really want to please
my family. So I know I
will be learning and
figuring out lots of new
things very soon!
Please call and talk
to my foster mom to find
out more about me. Life
would be even better if
I could be your best
Beau!!

Age: 7 months
Gender: Male
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 30 lbs.
Variety: Field-bred
Come on over and meet
little Zeb!! He is
about the cutest
Springer puppy you could
ever want to meet. He is
just full of Springer
love and fun! Zeb is a
very good boy, he minds
his manners and listens
well to his foster mom,
especially for still
being a puppy!! Zeb is
very mild mannered in
the house and outside,
he is just a little
skinny from his time
alone, before he went to
the shelter, and still
needs to gain back some
weight. Zeb's foster
mom says that he settled
into her home very
quickly, and found life
inside a warm house
really great! She also
said he was the easiest
foster dog she has had
so far, not bad
credentials for such a
young boy!!
Zeb is very friendly and
playful with other
dogs. He has two foster
brothers and he has no
problem letting them
boss him around. Zeb
enjoys being the little
brother. He especially
loves curling up to
sleep along side one of
his older brothers. Zeb
is sweet, sweet, sweet
according to his foster
mom!
Last weekend at a local
hockey game in the park,
Zeb was glued to his
foster mom's
side.....until some very
interesting dogs passing
by, finally enticed him
to try and make some new
friends! Zeb really
loves affection from his
foster mom and anyone
else who is offering.
He will climb into his
foster mom's lap to
snuggle and he will stay
there as long as he
possibly can. Zeb
considers himself a lap
dog and will be very
happy to keep you warm
on these cold winter
nights. If you would
like some sweet puppy
love in your life, Zeb
is definitely the dog
for you!!

Bubba Buddy is one
good 'ol friend.
He woo woos when he is
excited! He loves
his ears, belly and butt
scratched and will
snort, moan and lean
into you the whole time
he is getting attention.
Bubba is house trained,
leash trained, invisible
fence trained, and loves
to ride shotgun in the
car. He has
not bothered the cat.
He has greeted children
well, though he has not
had a chance to interact
with them.
Bubba has appreciated
the vet care ESRA has
provided for him!
He has had his eye and
ear infections treated
and is feeling quite
silly these days.
He will cock his head a
little to get a better
look at the world as one
eye has cataracts.
His body has a few lumps
and bumps that come with
age (we can relate!).
Overall his health is
good and he shows it by
playing with the other
seven Springers in the
house.
Bubba would love to
remind you how great old
friends are.
Remember that feeling?
Think Bubba Buddy.

Alfred is a very
friendly happy boy who
loves to play with his
dolly. He likes to play
tug and fetch with a
ball. He likes everyone
he meets. He is
incredibly sweet and
gentle. If he knows
you, he will get excited
and TALK to you, to
greet you. In spite of
hip and knee issues he
loves his walks and gets
excited and barks when
it is time to go. He
walks well on a leash
and comes when called.
He is good with other
dogs, but wants to share
the attention. He just
loves to snuggle.
Alfred would do well in
an adult family or one
with older children,
since he is so gentle.
His foster Mom thinks he
is close to the perfect
family dog. We do not
have any history on him
with cats. He is crate
trained and seems ready
to ride in cars. Alfred
is a very eager eater
and drinker.
Alfred just had surgery
to correct his hip and
knee problems and is
learning to use his NEW
joints. Inspite of his
problems, Alfred has
learned to use the
stairs. What spirit!
Another surgery is
planned for June to make
his other side good as
new. Once his other knee
and hip are repaired,
Alfred will be ready to
run. Alfred is looking
forward to life with out
pain and a family who
will share that life

SAM
Rock Springs, WY


|
ESRA # 2008-0244SD
Age: 1 year
Gender: Male
Color: Black/White
Weight: 45 lbs.
Variety: Bench/Show-Bred
Sam is very active.
His tail is docked and
the dew claws are
removed. He is at a good
weight.
Sam is current on all
his vaccinations. He
has been treated for
heartworm, and will be
retested at the end of
July to determine if he
is still infected. Sam
also has a foot injury.
He is missing about a
third of his large pad
on his right paw and
that is being treated as
well. He does not need
an e-collar. As long as
the foot is wrapped, he
leaves it alone.
We feed Iams large
chunks, and Sam gets
three cups at each
feeding. He is a good
eater, and has no food
aggression issues with
people or other dogs.
He is taking medication
for his heartworm for
about three more weeks,
and we feed that with
peanut butter. He
enjoys that.
Sam is working on his
housetraining. He is
pretty good, but forgets
to go to the door to
ask, and we haven't
understood his signals
of acting the fool next
to us. He is working on
our training as well.
Sam is crate trained.
When we leave, he is
crated with our Springer
and does fine. At
night, he just lays down
and does not make a
noise until he has to go
out in the morning. Sam
walks on a leash very
well and seems to know
heel just a bit. He
knows sit like a champ
and is very proud of
himself. He is working
on stay. Understands no
and get off. We have
lots of commands in our
house such as go
upstairs (from the
basement), stay upstairs
(don't follow into the
basement), get out
(leave this room), wait
there (outside the room
at the door with the
door open). We are
always giving the dogs
directions and Sam is
very
intelligent and
understands very
quickly. The thing with
Sam is he has a short
attention span and a
high activity level.
Anyway, Sam is very busy
and likes a
great deal of
stimulation. He loves
people and will do well
in an active home that
gives him lots of
attention. He will not
do well in an active
home that does not have
time for him. He must
be included in all
activities. Sam likes
all kinds of toys to
include, rope toys, old
socks, bones, balls are
great fun. He likes to
play tug of war. Sam
likes all dogs and
enjoys playing Springer
wrestling smack down.
It is gentle however.
Sam tends to be the
omega in the house of
five dogs. He is not a
big barker. He always
has a smile on his face
and enjoys life. He
does jump up on people
very often and we are
working on this. He is
just so happy to see
you. He does get on the
furniture and loves to
sit with you. He is not
much of a beggar or
counter surfer. He has
no problem eating with
the other dogs and in
fact, they can push him
right out of his bowl
and finish his food and
he just comes to get me
to help. He takes
treats very gently. I
don't know how he would
be with cats. He thinks
the ferrets are very
interesting but has not
tried to eat them yet.
Sam would do great in an
active home that will
include him in their
lives. He rides in the
car like a champ and
just wants to be with
his people. He is very
intelligent so he needs
lots of interesting
things to learn. He
wants to be part of a
family in the full sense
of the word. I think
Sam would do well with
children 10 years old
and up if they are
children that understand
gentle touch and so on.
He is too high energy
for a house with little
ones. Sam cannot wait
to find a home that is
just right for him.

Age: 7 years
Gender: Female
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 38 lbs.
Variety: Bench-Bred
Miss Kitty is quite a
little lady. She
does love the quiet life
and wants nothing more
than to be your constant
companion!
Kitty came into
rescue from a shelter.
She is looking for her
forever home.
Kitty's perfect home is
where she can be the
only dog. She
really enjoys being the
center of attention.
Being that she likes a
quieter atmosphere - we
would like to see Kitty
be adopted by a family
who can provider Kitty
with the environment she
needs to be happy.
When Kitty first meets
you she is a bit shy.
After just a few minutes
she is coming over for
pets. Don't let
her shy demeanor fool
you - she is a very
outgoing lady once she
gets to know you.
Kitty enjoys going
for walks, rides very
lady like in the car and
comes when you call her
name. She greets
you enthusiastically
when you get home and
has many stories to tell
you about her day and
all that her foster
brothers did!!
Kitty does like to
talk...what lady does
not have a few things to
say about...well just
about anything.
Miss Kitty is quite a
personality! If
you are looking for a
spunky addition to your
family who will love you
forever - Miss Kitty is
your gal. Please
send Jim and Lin a note
about meeting Kitty.

SANTE

A "before" shot of Sante

 |
ESRA #2007-1074UT
Age: 4 years
Gender: Female
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 30 lbs.
Variety: Field-bred
Sante is our little
Christmas Santa girl!
She was our amazing
Christmas gift from the
shelter, where we found
her cold, lost and
shivering in her kennel
a few days before
Christmas. We could
hardly wait to get her
out of there, take her
home, wrap her in a warm
blanket and snuggle up
with her on the couch!!
It wasn't much of a
surprise when the vet
told us she only weighed
21 lbs. That was pretty
evident from her
protruding hips, ribs
and just about every
other little bone in her
tiny body!! But Sante
was a fighter and she
really wanted a second
chance at the wonderful
life she hadn't gotten
before! She over came
gigantic odds and
numerous difficulties to
start back on the road
to health and recovery!!
Sante is about the
sweetest, most loving
dog her foster mom has
ever had. She will need
a home that appreciates
her desire to snuggle up
next to her family on
the sofa, on the bed, or
anywhere you are!! She
just wants to be with
you. Sante is very well
behaved, she has learned
to use the doggy door
and gets along well with
the pack of foster
brothers and sisters at
her home. She mostly
just watches the
resident cat with great
interest. Sante might
be best with a dog savy
cat only, since she may
eventually decide to
give the cat a good
chase! Sante doesn't
seem to need much
exercise and would
probably be the happiest
in a home where someone
can be with her most of
the time.
She travels well in the
car and doesn't mind
waiting while you do
your errands. Her
skills on a leash are
pretty good, she doesn't
pull, and trots along
side easily. Although
Sante is hungry all of
the time, she is very
gentle when given
treats. She does have
some interesting skills
however! Sante can
graze the countertop
like a bigger dog would
and knows how to tip a
large garbage can in an
instant, but only if it
has something in it!!
Sante is a doll when it
comes to her kennel.
She hops right in and
snuggles up on her
blanket. She will sleep
in her kennel, but
prefers to sleep with
her people like any good
dog!
Sante is a special girl
and needs an extra
special home!!

ESRA #
2007-1079NE Age: 7
years
Gender: Female
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 39 lbs.
Variety: Field-Bred
Cute, quick,
and smart ... That's
little Miss Bunny!
Bunny has been an
outside dog her whole
life. She is very
comfortable in the field
and with working with
other dogs. Now,
she is the old dog
learning new tricks -
and she likes it!
Though timid when she
first came inside, she
is quickly settling in.
She is like a pup in
many respects learning
house manners, but like
an adult too, as she
does not need to be told
twice! She adores
having her ears
scratched and has
discovered that the TV
is best viewed from her
foster dad's lap.
Her new routine includes
treats, tummy rubs and
sleeping in her cozy
crate at night.
Bunny is leash trained,
invisible fence trained,
and ride well in the
car. She would
love to have other dogs
play with her, but would
like to be the queen
too! She has a
high prey drive and is
NOT good with cats.
She does like to play
fetch, but does not
give her ball up easily.
We question how she
would react to children
as she does not allow you
to take away her toys
without a bit of
instruction from you.
Bunny has all of the
makings of a good field
dog and may have
experience too. She is
definitely not past her
prime as she is filled
with that Springer
energy and drive that so
define this breed.
Update 05 MAY 08:
Bunny loves being a
house dog! She is 100
percent house trained.
However, Miss Bunny
suffered from an
untreated UTI for a long
time before coming into
ESRA care. Her years of
suffering left her
incontinent. She takes
a daily, inexpensive,
pill now that keeps her
DRY, and makes her one
happy little cuddle
bug. Yeah Bunny!

Boom Boom is the
sound your heart will
make when you fall in
love with this rescued
boy!
Boomer was abandoned,
left to fend for himself
in a rural area.
Starved and lonely, he
was captured by a sweet
woman who provided vet
care that saved his
life. Now that he is in
rescue, he can count on
full-time care to put on
about fifteen needed
pounds.
Boom Boom had been
someone's special boy at
one time. He knows basic
commands, and will speak
or shake for treats. He
rides quietly in the
car, unless he is
crated. He is
housetrained and
invisible fence
trained. He adores
people, and quickly
attaches himself in a
household. He gets along
well with younger,
submissive male dogs,
and does great with
female dogs of all ages.
He is still inhaling his
food as if it were his
last meal, so you should
be cautious of leaving
food unattended, or
casually carrying your
own food at his level,
as he might seek the
opportunity to fill up
an empty spot on his
boney body!
He is a big boy with a
big kissy-face. He
thinks that laps were
invented just for him,
and he also enjoys
chairs, couches, and
beds! Oh the good
life! Boomer just
wants to live it.
Please respond if you
can offer it.
Update 20 JAN 08:
Boomer has filled out to
be a very handsome boy
weighing in at around
57lbs! His personality
is also filling out. He
is a dominant dog, and
would do best as an only
dog . He also shows
signs of separation
anxiety when left
alone. On a good note
he knows and minds his
commands like a
machine. He is very
trainable, and with a
very dog wise person,
would absolutely shine!
Update 06 MAY 08:
Boomer is learning new
things. He is crate
trained, and can stay by
himself all day. He is
a dog that thrives on
routine. An adopting
family will have to
allow time, and be
willing to be patient,
as Boom adjusts to their
pattern of life. He is
one loyal dog, and takes
care of everything in
his world! You can see
Boomer in action in the
field at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo9jCDk5V9o
He is intense in all
of his actions; he
snuggles hard, eats with
gusto, plays till you
say enough, and is ready
for a run, ride, or
outing at any time. He
will bond to you
quickly, and expect the
same. He works the
field well, and has the
endurance to hunt all
day. I would recommend
that he be trained with
the
Nothing In Life is Free
(NILF) method of
training, get plenty of
exercise, and be given a
job.

Gender: Male
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 46 lbs.
Variety: Field-Bred
Young, handsome,
liver and white male,
seeks life long
relationship with
adoring family.... your
Beau is waiting!
This lover boy just
wants to be by your
side, whether it is
watching TV,
working in the garden,
going out on the town,
or taking that glorious
stroll through
the countryside.
He does not seem to have
the temperament for
hunting as he is
afraid of loud noises,
but does love to hunt up
a good belly rub!
Beau is learning his
leash manners, is
house-trained, invisible
fence
trained, and rides
great in the car.
He is quickly learning
basic commands and
enjoys his treats for
doing so well! When
introduced to another
young intact male,
he did not show good
manners. He may work
best as either an only
dog or with a submissive
one. Beau is also
overly interested in
the shop kitty, who
has decided it is not in
his best interest to
meet him.
Beau's one goal in life
is to be your companion,
confidant , and snuggle
buddy. He
loves people of all
ages, plays with
children, and is a merry
soul.
If you are ready for a
Springer kiss on the
first date, Beau
is your guy.

Hi my name is Taylor
and I was found
wandering the streets,
so no one knows anything
about my past. I am a
very friendly guy who
loves everybody and gets
along well with other
dogs. I like my foster
Dad's daughter and her
friends, who are 10
years old. I seem to
have a fixation on cats,
so cats are a no-no for
me.
Since my name is new to
me. I am still learning
to respond to it. My
foster Dad says I walk
really great on a leash,
but my new owners would
do well to enroll me in
a basic obedience
class. I am house
trained and do not
counter surf. I do well
in my doggie crate. I
love to ride in cars. I
have a moderate energy
level for a springer and
like to play with
balls. This could be
why I have a broken
canine tooth.

Color: Black/White
Weight: 40 lbs.
Variety: Bench/Show-bred
Meet Marley!! He
really is one of a
kind!! Marley is not
only a gorgeous dog, he
is extremely smart as
well! This boy has it
all - with brains and
beauty, now he will just
have to work on the
brawn, since he is still
a growing puppy! Marley
came to us from previous
owners who loved him
very much, but he was
just too much of a puppy
for them. He has
impressed his foster
home with his
intelligence, he knows
the basic commands, like
sit and stay, he is
crate trained, house
trained and will ask to
go outside. Marley has
the greatest personality
ever! You will love him
the minute you meet
him!! He is a big old
cuddle bug, and a very
sweet and loving puppy.
Marley loves to play, he
has plenty of energy,
but he isn't too hyper,
which is pretty good for
a youngster. He loves
to play with his tennis
balls. Marley is very
good with children,
basically not letting
them bother him at all.
He is friendly with
other dogs and also good
with cats. If he finds
a cat who will play with
him, that is even
better!!
If you pass up on the
chance to meet Marley,
you will miss an
opportunity to meet one
amazing Springer! He is
quite the charmer and
all around fantastic
dog!! His foster mom
had a hard time deciding
not to keep him for her
family. Don't delay...
call now... and see if
Marley is the right dog
for you! I don't think
Marley will be without a
forever home for long!

6 years
Gender: Male
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 58 lbs.
Variety: Bench/Show-Bred
Indiana, Indy, has
been on somewhat of an
adventure in the past
few months. He has
found himself in 4 homes
in 6 months! As
you can imagine this has
left him a bit
bewildered and unsure of
his place in a family.
Such a good dog ... he
just wants a home.
Indy is a very handsome,
AKC boy. He is
housetrained, invisible
fence trained, and rides
well in the car.
He pulls hard on the
leash, but walks fine
off leash. He
likes toys and water!
He will greet you with a
toy in his mouth, and
has a ton of fun playing
fetch with you. He
splashes in his wading
pool with joy. He
loves treats and
attention. After a
long day of fun, or just
when he is tired, Indy
will retreat to a quiet
place, where he prefers
to be left alone.
Indy gets along well
with other dogs.
He learned to tolerate
cats in his other homes.
He is a big boy, so
small children would not
be a good match for him.
Mr. Indy is looking for
a happy ending to his
adventure. All he
needs is love and
someone to give it to
him. He is ready
to be your someone
special.

Age: 6 years
Gender: Female
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 40 lbs.
Variety: Field-bred
Please meet Rooty!
She is the sweetest dog
ever, just like
rooty-tooty-fruity
candy!! Rooty has been
an outside dog because
her previous owner
didn't want her in the
house. But who wants to
stay outside when all
the fun is inside?
Besides, Rooty felt like
most dogs do, she is
just like all the other
people in the family and
she should be able to
live in the house too!!
Now that she is in
rescue, Rooty loves
being an inside dog and
living the good life
like she always felt she
deserved! She roams
free in the house and
never has an accident.
Rooty has a new haircut,
so she is feeling a
little bit chilly in the
cold weather, but her
foster mom has assured
her it will soon grow
back very nicely!
Rooty is a pleaser and
only wants to be with
her people! She is very
good in her crate and
completely housetrained
already. She is a very
smart dog and learns
quickly. She can be a
little bit growly when
meeting new dogs, but
she learns to love all
of them in a very short
time. Rooty is a true
velcro dog who sticks by
you always! She will
love you forever if you
can just give her the
love and attention she
so richly deserves!

family to lover her.
Petite little Maddie
will snuggle into your

quarters beautifully.
She loves the water, and
will seek out a swimming
hole whenever one is
available. Her Springer

OSCAR
Rock Springs, WY


|
ESRA # 2008-0243SD
Age: 2 year
Gender: Male
Color: Liver/White
Weight: 35 lbs.
Variety: Field-Bred
Oscar is very small,
35 pounds, and does need
to gain a bit of weight,
maybe 5 pounds. He is
built like a very small
field bred. His tail is
docked and his dew claws
are removed. Oscar is
current on all
vaccinations and is
heart worm negative.
Oscar eats adult Iams,
for large breeds,
because the big chunks
makes him eat
slower. Oscar is a slow
eater and a good eater.
Since he needs to gain
weight, he eats twice
per day, at about 6am
and 6pm, and receives
three cups per feeding.
He seems to be
housetrained, and goes
to the door when he
wants to go out. He
loves the outdoors and
especially loves snow.
We have crate trained
him, and he is a very
good boy. He is in the
crate when we are gone
and at night. He just
walks in and lays down.
No fuss, no noise. We
are working on walking
on a leash a bit better
because Oscar does
pull. He rides in the
car like a pro, and
really enjoys riding in
the back of my Subaru
wagon. We do not use a
crate for car rides. He
is also very good with
the vet and enjoys
people, however he is a
bit cautious.
Oscar is learning his
name, and is starting to
come when we call. He
lives in his own world,
and often has more
important things to do
than listen to us. He
hasn't bonded with us as
quickly or deeply as
other Springers. He is
guarded with his love,
and will need time to
build trust with his new
family.
Oscar does jump up
occasionally, but it is
with such a gentle
nature it isn't so bad.
We are working on this,
and he does like to get
on the counters
occasionally to see what
yummy smells are up
there. However, he is
not a beggar at meal
time, takes treats very
gently, and has never
attempted to steal food
from our plates.
When he first arrived in
our house, he was leery
of eating around the
other dogs but now he
doesn't even notice. He
shares toys and people
well. He is not super
jealous. I don't know
how Oscar would be with
cats, and he DOES want
to eat the ferrets.
Oscar is a very sweet
and gentle dog that will
do best in a relaxed
quiet home. He enjoys
dog companions, and
likes to be pet and
talked-to softly. It
will take him time to
trust and really show
his love. He is just
careful with his
feelings.
I would not recommend
children under "older
teens" because he is a
bit concerned and
cautious. I would not
call him timid, just
watchful. He is great
with other dogs, large
and small. He loves to
play all the time.
Sometimes he is alpha,
and sometimes omega. He
is really in the middle
of the pack of five at
my house. His activity
level is moderate. He
is very quiet in the
house, but loves to play
zoomies outside, and be
chased and chase the
other dogs. He likes to
play tug-o-war, and
enjoys chewing on
nylabones. He is
reserved, calm, and
friendly. Oscar is a
real cutey, and is just
very sweet.
I would recommend Oscar
to an empty-nester or
even an active older
person. He truly is a
doll of a dog.
