Bear

English Springer Spaniel · Male

Cuddly BEAR Five year old Bear’s owner’s describe him as a loving, loyal character with a big heart Bear is a friendly boy who loves to play with a ball which he will drop on command, he seems to enjoy playing with children and will usually share his toys. He loves his walks and being off lead and normally comes when he is called. His new home should be pet free, as he has been living in a home with a number of other dogs and cats and he is finding this overwhelming. Bear was attacked by another dog as a youngster which has made him a little anxious. As a young Springer, Bear is going to need an owner with the time and patience to bond with him and give him the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. When trust has been established the owner will be able to gradually give him the socialisation he has missed. Bear is going to be a great friend and companion to his new family in the happy home he so deserves.

About Bear

What life with Bear looks like

Bear is a large adult english springer spaniel dog waiting at English Springer Spaniel Rescue NW England in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bear, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bear?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. English Springer Spaniel Rescue NW England handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bear on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bear if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — English Springer Spaniel Rescue NW England will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bear already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bear isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with English Springer Spaniel Rescue NW England early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bear and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
