Rehoming Your Welsh Springer Spaniel

If you are reading this page because you are considering rehoming your Welsh Springer, please do not be worried about contacting us. We are here to help you. Please do get in touch.

We understand that the decision to give up your dog can be very difficult and painful. Sometimes behavioural issues can be at the root of difficulty, and we can offer advice or guidance.

If or when the decision to rehome is reached, then please be assured that your dog will move to a vetted forever home where they will be safe and loved. We aim to move your dog directly into their new home. We will remain in close contact with the new home until we are sure they are all well settled together.

We will not share your details or address with a new adopter.

Whilst we do not normally disclose who the adopters are, we do give information about the type of placement. Perhaps a far, or the coast. We can also give you updates about and photos of your Welsh Springer from their new home if that helps you.

We have homes waiting but be assured that we check home suitability for each individual dog. We select the best home for the individual needs of each Welsh Springer.

We understand that life often throws up unexpected events and circumstances. We are here to help. There is no charge for this service.

Applying to Rehome a Welsh Springer

If you would like to offer a home to a Welsh Springer please do contact us. We are happy to discuss this and answer any questions. We will send you detailed questionnaire and arrange a home prior to any potential placement. We do this to ensure the best placement for you and the Welsh Springer. To ensure you have many years of happiness together.

Your adoptive dog will come with five weeks Agria insurance. The charity will support any unexpected costs. We normally require that dogs are neutered, unless there is a medical reason not to. The charity will meet the cost of this once the dog has settled into their new home.

When a Welsh Springer is first placed with you, we will keep in contact with you to ensure that all is well. We will always be available answer any queries that may arise.

The charity retains ownership of adopted Welsh Springers for their lifetime. This is in recognition that future events are not always predictable e.g. health events or accidents. Should you be unable to keep the Welsh Springer or need help to do so, we will be there to ensure that they well looked after.

Charitable Donations

Welsh Springer Spaniel Rescue is a charity. Charity Commission registration no 1182911.

On placement of an older Welsh Springer, 8 years and over, we invite the new adopters to make an optional voluntary donation.

This helps to cover the costs of placing Welsh Springers in new loving homes.
