South Yorkshire English Springer Spaniel Rescue

South Yorkshire English Springer Spaniel Rescue SYESSR - Registered Charity Number 1068811 Last year we helped 107 dogs find a new family. We also provide support to a number of dogs on our foster scheme.

We aim to care for and re-home as many un-wanted, stray or neglected Springer Spaniels as we can as well as proving advice and support to current owners. Despite our title we willingly help other types of Spaniels plus cover a much larger geographical area and will not base decisions solely on the location of either a dog needing our assistance or a possible home for one of our current dogs. As we

ll as strays dogs come to us for reasons such as;

the "present" is too much trouble
a new baby arriving
their owners splitting up
they are too old to work
their owners working pattern changes
they have a behavioral problem
their owners move house or emigrate
they are found as a stray. or even a new puppy arrives (so the oldie has to go!)

There are many other reasons, too numerous to list but whatever the reason, we care for them and try and find them a suitable new home as soon as possible. Although this is a costly scheme we are very proud of it and it is something that not many rescues have. Dogs which are elderly or have a medical condition are often difficult to find homes for as people are worried about the financial commitment that may be needed. As part of our foster scheme these dogs will be found a permanent home but we will continue to provide financial assistance towards veterinary costs. We currently have around 30 dogs which are part of this scheme, which as you can imagine is a large drain on our funds. SYESSR believe that all Springers deserve to be given every chance to live their full life regardless of their age or disability. Only on veterinary advice and when quality of life is poor is euthanasia considered. This ethos is a costly one and means extra income has to be found to support these dogs.

Stand back and prepare to welcome Marvellous Marvel
Marvel is an 11-year-old Sprocker with an unmistakable charm and a fabulous hairstyle! Despite his age, he remains full of energy, always ready to chase after a ball or explore the world. He is wonderfully sociable, getting along well with both people and other dogs, making him a joy to be around. Whether on or off the lead, Marvel is obedient and well-behaved, making walks a pleasure rather than a challenge.

Still fit and lively, he is proof that age is just a number.Marvel deserves a loving home where he can continue to thrive, rather than spending his days in rescue kennels. He would make a fantastic companion for someone who appreciates his playful spirit and affectionate nature. Could you be the one to give Marvel the warmth and care he truly deserves?

☀️HOT PAVEMENT WARNING☀️

Yes, even on warm days, in certain conditions, pavements can become hot enough to cause pain, discomfort and even burn your dog’s paws. Although you may think your dog’s paw pads are quite tough, it’s important to remember that they are still made of skin and can be just as sensitive as the bottom of your feet.

On sunny days, pavements can often be deceptively hot and will usually be much warmer than the air outside. Dark and dense pavements easily absorb heat from the sun and are good at keeping hold of it and releasing it slowly. Natural surfaces, including grass, tend to be much cooler, as plants release water to help cool themselves down.

🔸HOW TO CHECK🔸
The best way to tell if a pavement is too hot for your dog to walk on is to place the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds. If it’s too painful for your hand, then it’s too painful for your dog’s paws.

If you notice that your dog is limping, looking uncomfortable or whimpering, then look at the bottom of their paws and check the temperature of the pavement with the back of your hand. If your dog’s paws look red, swollen or blistered then it’s important that you quickly take them off the hot pavement and contact your vet for advice as soon as possible.

Today we said goodbye to our gorgeous Buddy. As you will know has been ill for quite a while but was still eager to come out with us (albeit in his buggy) and was enjoying all the special food and treats people had sent for him. However the last few days have been a struggle for him, he didn't want to eat and although he still wanted to come out with us, he didn't want to get out of his buggy and have a wander. We decided today that it was time and had arranged for the vet to come tomorrow, as the day went on though Dot called to say he had deteriorated further and she arranged for the vet to come today instead.

Buddy was a special boy he came to rescue in 2015, 99.9% of the time he was a lovely boy but his issues in a home environment meant he became a permanent fixture at SYESSR & The Hollows. Ten years he has been with us and the kennels will be a very different place tomorrow.

For a number of years he shared his conservatory with Mutley (another troubled soul), they were best friends and despite Buddy more recently sharing his space with Charlie it is still hard to think of Buddy without Mutley. In our hearts he is now back running or swimming side by side with Mutley, squabbling over a ball or stick (or some bit of rubbish one have them had picked up). Reunited for eternity.

We thank everyone who has supported us over the years as it is your help that means we can keep the boys (it always seems to be boys) like Buddy and make sure that even if they can't live in a home they can have a fabulous life, with love, comfy beds, daily walks, day trips to the beach etc.

A huge thank you too to Dot and everyone at the Hollows who loved him as much as we did and put in all the extra effort needed to keep him happy and eating, cooking a variety of special foods for him, hand feeding him and giving him love every day he was with us.

Buddy, you were a complicated soul, but you were ours. And oh, how we loved you.

Run free, sweet boy.

That really is SO generous, thank you.

Each of these incredible dogs has a story, and all of them are searching for a loving forever home. Rescuing a dog isn’t just life-changing for them—it’s deeply rewarding for you too. You’ll gain a loyal companion, unconditional love, and the joy of giving a second chance to a dog who truly deserves it.
Look through their adorable faces {but don't be fooled), read their stories, and find out how you can help. Whether you’re looking to adopt, or simply spread the word, every share makes a difference!

Rocket is a bright, enthusiastic little lad who’s always ready for an adventure! Fully house-trained, he’s a superstar. He thrives on companionship and loves to be around people and other dogs, making him the perfect fit for a home with a confident canine friend. Rocket is happiest when he's playing—whether that’s romping with his dog pals or engaging in a fun game with his toys. His love for Kongs and interactive play means he’s easy to keep entertained.

Rocket is highly food-motivated, which is fantastic for training! While he's still learning the basics, his eagerness for treats makes every training session exciting and rewarding. His recall is already improving, showing his potential to grow into an even more responsive and engaged dog with the right guidance.

He’s a gentle soul with no aggression and tends to be on the submissive side, making him a lovely companion for a calm and structured household. While he can be strong on the lead, he simply sees every walk as an adventure and is keen to explore. With patience and the right techniques, his enthusiasm can be harnessed into excellent walking manners.

Rocket’s zest for life means he can get overexcited, but in the right home, with time and love, he’ll learn how to channel his energy into positive interactions. He’s not suited to a home with small pets or children, but for an active owner with another dog who enjoys playtime, Rocket promises to bring boundless joy and fun. Children over 16 only

If you're looking for a lively and loving companion who will keep you on your toes and reward you with devotion, Rocket might just be your perfect match!

What type of home are we looking for?

Adult only home
Must have another dog or dogs.
A quiet home without too much hustle and bustle

Rocket is located near Market Weighton and you must be prepared to travel to meet him.

Adoption fees apply and you can apply via our website
