English Springer Rescue America, Inc. (ESRA) is a national referral and foster care purebred placement organization and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. ESRA's mission is to provide foster care to English Springers impounded by humane societies, private shelters, and animal control facilities nationwide, as well as to offer adoption referral services for those agencies. There are no paid staff, and all our members do what they do on a completely voluntary basis. English Springers are as susceptible to impoundment as any dog. They are picked up off the streets as strays or relinquished by their owners because of a move, illness or death, financial crisis, or other troubled circumstances. Adoption referral assistance is also available to those owners who can no longer care for their Springers and must give them up for adoption. Through the compassionate efforts and commitments to help, ESRA's volunteer members have successfully placed thousands of Springers in new loving homes.
Adopting a Springer Spaniel requires that you fill out an application telling us about you and your family and noting any specific requests. This information helps us match the very best dog for you, your household, and your lifestyle. It is very important that we find the right Forever Home for every rescued Springer in our program. After you have completed the application, a volunteer will contact you. We ask for a veterinarian’s reference, or one from a similar contact person who can speak to your responsibility as a pet owner. Finally, we conduct a home visit unless you are in an inaccessible area.
