6/14/20 DAVIA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

5/6/20 UPDATE: We have an approved adopter all ready to meet Davia once "non-essential" businesses are allowed to open up (due to Covid-19)

Davia is a little girl - just 37 lbs. She was a stray, surrendered to NEESSR from an animal shelter. Her age is estimated to be 5 years old. Davia is a very shy girl presently being fostered by a family able to provide needed training and able to assess her long term needs. We expect this will take time. As her foster family gets to know her better, we'll post more info about Davis.

05/06 - 2020 Davia has made a lot of progress in foster care. She is an extremely active girl and will need a family who can provide a LOT of exercise for her. She is doing better with other dogs, but we feel she'd do best as an only dog in the family.Her permanent family should not have young children or have young children visit with any sort of regularity as Davia is skittish. She does not like being groomed and will need anti-anxiety meds to help her through grooming. Davia is crate-trained. She is a typical affectionate springer who loves to be with her person and especially loves to get belly rubs!

6/10/20 HUNTER HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

5/6/20 UPDATE: We have an approved adopter all ready to meet Hunter once "non-essential" businesses are allowed to open up (due to Covid-19)

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!

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.

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!

BAILEY HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
Bailey is a young springer who just came into NEESSR foster care. He has some medical issues that are being addressed. His foster family is just getting to know him. We'll provide more information when available.

Jake (l5 years young) and Finn (10 years young) came to us 2 weeks ago. Both boys settled in with their foster families nicely. They got along really well with their 4 legged family members. Happy to report both boys have been adopted. It only proves that families still love our senior pups.

Tika came to us from another shelter. This sweet little girl is roughly 3-5 years young and we knew from the beginning she would be adopted pretty quickly. It was love at first sight for this little girl and her new forever mom. The two ladies are now joined at the hip and are now making new memories together.

Sadie is a lovely 4 year old English Springer/Border Collie mix.

Sadie has been settling in with her foster family and their pekingese/cavalier king charles spaniel.

We have come to realize that Sadie would be much happier being an only dog. She is not keen on sharing her inside space with her 4-legged foster brother. Sadie gets along with her foster brother when outside in their fenced in yard and during evening walks when they meet up with the neighbors walking their dogs. As Sadie is not a fan of riding in the car, she is real happy being left home alone. Sadie's forever home should not have young children.

If you're interested in Sadie, please visit our website: www.essrescue.org to fill out our adoption application.

Jack is an 12 year old senior whose family is moving. He has some pain in the hip area which will need xrays and he also needs a dental. His foster mom says he's a sweetheart and he's settling into his foster home.

Lilly is a sweet, affectionate dog that is very attentive to family members. Her house manners are good and she is easy to live with. She travels well in the car and enjoys taking walks. Lilly does need to be an only dog in her home, but is able to be around dogs in public space. She needs an adult home since the energetic and unpredictable nature of children makes her anxious. Likewise, she is leery when strangers enter her home and reacts loudly. She does settle and once she becomes familiar with visitors, she enjoys their attention. Lilly will do best with adults willing to work on these anxious and reactive behaviors.

LILY & SAVANNAH HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!

Savannah (8 y/o) has moved with her family several times the past few years. This disruption in her life has caused her to be less tolerant with the young children in her home. Savanah is well mannered and travels easily. She lives with both a dog and cat and can be around other dogs in a public setting. When strangers come to her home she greets them politely and becomes very engaged in gaining attention. She is an active dog in need of exercise and playtime. Since Savannah often jogs with her owner and expects a fast paced exercise routine, she can pull with a fair amount of strength on her lead. Don’t feel you need to be a jogger, walks are fine! NEESSR will help you find an appropriate harness and suggest ways to train Savannah to have good leash manners.

Lilly, Savannah's longtime companion and best friend is also 8 years old. Lilly is a very sweet well-mannered girl who does well with all people and animals. Don't leave food on the counters though - she is an experienced counter-surfer!

Lilly and Savannah are all set to be adopted together!

Baillie is a two year old female liver and white fieldy. She’s a bit on the small side at 40 lbs, but what she lacks in size she makes up for in energy and agility. She is in excellent health. She was surrendered to NEESSR due to concerns that her Owners had with resource guarding, specifically food and toys. She has settled into her foster home and has been doing very well with her foster brother, a 13 year old Springer. Her interaction with other dogs outside the home has been good. She is well trained and well mannered. We think that the guarding behavior previously exhibited may be resolved.

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 ˝ 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.

ADOPTED! Tucker is a 4 year old neutered black/white field type springer who is ready for a forever adoptive home. He is very timid when meeting new people but warms up quickly. He is affectionate, learns quickly, and is eager to please. Tucker needs an active home where his physical and mental abilities are challenged. A properly fenced yard for Tucker is required, along with supervision while outside as he’s been known to run away from home. Tucker has lived with other dogs, cats, and older children would be ok. He knows some basic obedience commands: sit, back up, wait, and release.

ADOPTED! Taylor is now ready to find his forever adoptive home. He is very affectionate, eager to please, and a quick learner. He is a bit shy around new people and animals but soon warms up. Taylor will be looking for an active home that can offer him structure and mental/physical stimulation. A properly fenced yard for Taylor is required, along with supervision while outside as he’s been known to run away from home. Taylor is a 4 yr. old neutered black/white field type springer. Older children and cats would be ok with him. Taylor knows some basic obedience commands: sit, back up, wait and release.

Atlas is a very loving, velcro like 4 year old boy, he's obedient, and truly a sweet dog. Anyone would be lucky to have him. He grew up in a barn, so he does need continued and regular socialization. He needs someone that will take the time to continue his training, and further his familiarity with normal indoor living and routines. He is black/white, neutered and from bench type stock.

He is a wonderful dog with unlimited potential. Atlas would do well with a loving family, anyone who loves the outdoors, that are active, love to hike, etc. He will need someone that is home all the time or can at least let him out a few times a day to potty, as he continues to develop solid house training habits.

Atlas is being fostered in Watertown, NY

Molly - Adopted!

UPDATE 4/3/2018 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Molly is a high energy escape artist and a digger. She’s also now ready for a forever home after being vetted and spayed. She needs a physically fenced yard(not an electric fence) and lots of activity. Molly is a 5 and a half year old liver/white field springer. She doesn’t share well with other dogs and cats/other small pets are not going to do well in a house with her, so she’ll need to be an only pet. She would be fine with older children, but younger ones might be bowled over by her. Molly has had obedience training and knows her basic commands, but recall while outside is not one of them.



Molly has come into foster. She’s a 5 year old intact Liver/White fieldy type female. She got into trouble at her home for escaping multiple times and causing trouble with the neighbors. She is going to need spaying, other vet attention and some training before she’s available for adoption. We will post updates as they become available.

Laney is a 3.5 year old English Springer Spaniel who just arrived at her NEESSR foster home. We'll provide more information once she and her foster family have become better acquainted.

Laney's fosters are adopting her.

Dembe is a two year old male fieldy-very sweet and loving. Last year he had a full hip replacement funded by our rescue at Tufts on the left side with complete success. He is having some discomfort in his left knee and right hip which is being treated with medication. He would make a wonderful companion for someone who is home and has time for him--he needs basic obedience training. Because of his his replacement, his activity level will always be moderate (not high). He is a big strong boy-64 pounds and the vet would like to see him lose about 10 pounds to make it easier on his joints. We are looking for a home that will work with him and help him become the wonderful companion he can be.
