Quieter Homes
Sadly, older dogs and other dogs needing quieter homes often get overlooked in rescue because they don’t have the same appeal as a puppy or younger dog does. However, older and quieter dogs have their own particular advantages, and an abundance of love and companionship to give.
Remember, when you adopt any SRS dog, you will always have access to the support and skills of our Co-ordinators. If you adopt one of our oldies who is on medication or has ongoing health problems, we can provide lifelong support for veterinary bills.
If you have already registered with us to adopt, and see a dog on this page that you would like to know more about, please get in touch on 07875 140485, or contact . If you are not yet registered with us, then please come and find out more by visiting our How to Adopt page.
If you are particularly sympathetic to the welfare of older Springers, whether or not you are in a position to offer one a forever home, then you may wish to find out more about Cara’s Fund, or visit our Friends of SRS page.

Hello everyone, my name is Diesel, I am 4 years old and I'm sorry to say I have had quite a bad start in life which has left me frightened of quite a few things, but since I came to live with my foster mum she has been helping me get over my fears. For the first time in my life I can run and run and run and I love it, I have been chasing squirrels, the wee blighters are very fast,:O) and my favourite pastime when I am out is SNIFFING, wow, so many smells I have never smelt before. I can also sit nicely and I am learning, something called recall, where my teacher keeps calling me back, but I get something nice to eat every time I come back; this recall is easy peasy, but after all the hard work training I love lying in my bed staring out the window watching the world go by. Because of what has happened to me in the past I can get frightened very easily and don't like lots of people in the house. I am also frightened of cars, and my foster mum is working with me on this, because once I'm in the car, I know I am going somewhere nice. My wish is that I can find a very experienced spaniel home with someone who will have patience and work with me to overcome my fear-based issues, which can result in some aggressive behaviours. The people at SRS say they will work with my new owner and me to help overcome my fears. Can you be my new mum? Diesel X
