2/21/2020 Hunter is a 5 year old 58 lb sweetheart. He came to NEESSR needing immediate surgery for a severely broken leg. Now, after a 5-month recuperation period we have the green light from the surgeon – Hunter has fully recovered and is ready for adoption!

Hunter is an anxious boy. This very well could have been exacerbated by the months spent with extremely limited activity while recuperating. We will need to give Hunter time to get acclimated to a new family by allowing for a long and gradual transition. Please read the following requirements thoroughly before completing an adoption application for Hunter.

REQUIREMENTS:
• Live within 1 hour drive of coastal New Hampshire to allow for MANY pre-adoption visits with Hunter
• Commit to continued physical therapy treatments
• Ability to leash walk 58 lb dog multiple times daily
• Willingness to crate Hunter when left alone (he tolerates the crate fine and has been quite mischievous in the home when left alone uncrated)
• Must be home a good deal of the time (retired or work-from-home situation)
• Commit to not allowing Hunter off-leash in an unsecured area. A family with a large securely fenced yard is preferable.

Hunter needs a family willing and able to work with an anxious and excitable dog. His family will be rewarded for their patience and work with this very loving, funny and typically velcro Springer!

Tobie is a 7 month old black & white tri colored puppy who has been in his NEESSR foster home for a couple of weeks now. He is an adorable fellow who is going to need quite a bit of socialization and training before we consider any adopters. His foster family is working with him. This is NOT going to be a quick process as socialization and training cannot be rushed.

It will be quite a while before we look for an adopter for Tobie. We'll provided updates on his progress from time to time!

10/2/19 JENNIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY HER NEESSR FOSTER FAMILY!

2018 Jennie is a 5 year old rust/white spayed Welsh Springer Spaniel who was brought into the rescue when her owner could no longer care for her. About 3 ½ years ago Jennie had an encounter with a porcupine and has had chronic sinus issues ever since. It’s suspected that there may still be parts of quills in the nasal/sinus area.

Jennie's nasal discharge began after having quills removed from her face in 2014. Since then she has been placed on several antibiotics but has not seemed to improve. She had an MRI performed in 2014 and a Rhinoscopy and biopsy in 2015, which revealed non-specific rhinitis, an obvious quill remnant could not be seen. Over the past few months, Jennie also started to have a cough, and on 3/12/18 Jennie had chest Xrays that revealed some patterns consistent with pneumonia. She was started on antibiotics and radiographs appeared normal a month later at re-check. Jennie is currently on Carprofen 75mg 1/2 tab by mouth twice a day for her neck/facial pain, and this seems to make her more comfortable.
