Adopting a Sprocker Spaniel is a rewarding experience.
At Sprocker Assist & Rescue, we carefully match each dog with the right home to ensure a happy and secure future.
Our process is designed to be simple, supportive and welfare-led:
Apply online – complete our adoption form
Home check – a visit or video call with one of our team
Meet your match – introductions with suitable Sprockers
Adopt – paperwork completed and your new Sprocker comes home
Every adopted dog leaves us with ongoing support and advice.
When you adopt from us, you become part of the SAR family.
We offer behaviour and training support whenever you need it.
Visit our Help & Advice pages for more guidance, or see the RSPCA adoption advice for wider welfare information.
If you’re ready to offer a rescue Sprocker a forever home, please complete our online adoption application.
Complete an online application form to tell us about you, your home, and your lifestyle.
Our rehoming team reviews your application and looks for the best match for both you and the dog.
If we find a potential match, we’ll contact you to arrange a home visit or video home check.
Meet & Greet with all members of your household — and any resident dogs.
We’ll arrange for your new family member to join you (transport is agreed case-by-case).
After 6 weeks we’ll check in for an update — and then it’s time for your Happy Ever After!
When completing the Adoption Form, please be as honest and thorough as possible. We read every application carefully and always match dogs to homes that best meet each dog’s needs.
Once we’ve found a potential match, one of our trusted volunteers will arrange a home check for you. Please don’t ask the volunteer about the outcome — they simply carry out the visit and do not make final decisions.
If your home check is successful, we’ll invite you to a meet and greet. This should include everyone living in your household — and any resident dogs too.
If the meeting goes well, we’ll send you an adoption contract to sign and arrange transport to bring your new dog home. Please read this document carefully, as all adoption conditions are non-negotiable.
Every adopted dog comes with:
5 weeks of free insurance provided by Agria Insurance
A microchip re-registered in your name
There is a non-refundable adoption donation for every dog. All funds go directly back into the rescue to help other Sprockers in need.
We kindly ask for your patience once your application is submitted. We’re not kennel-based — our dogs stay in foster homes or with current owners until rehomed — so availability can vary.
We don’t always list every Sprocker available for adoption on our website. Please click the button below to view the dogs currently listed.
If there aren’t any dogs shown, this doesn’t necessarily mean we don’t have any Sprockers looking for a home — so please complete an adoption form and we will be in touch.
Once your adoption has taken place, your case owner will check in to see how things are going. We do ask that you follow the 3-3-3 rule whilst your new family member is settling in, but your case worker should be the first person you contact if you have any questions.
We offer full rescue backup — we are here for you and your dog for the rest of their life.
You can download a copy of the 3-3-3 rule in our downloads section.
Sprockers are not always easy — but they are so rewarding when you get it right!
All we ask is that you keep us updated with lots of pictures so we can add you to our Happy Ever After Stories.
We’ve listed a few frequently asked questions below.
Of course, this list isn’t extensive — if you have any concerns or queries, our team will be happy to speak to you at any time during the adoption process.
This depends on whether the dog has been in foster or not. The adoption donation will be discussed with you by your Case Worker prior to adoption.
This varies for each dog and will be discussed with you by your Case Worker.
This depends on whether we have any dogs that have lived with children and the ages involved. We take the safety of both dogs and humans very seriously and will only place a dog where it is a suitable match.
Yes. We don’t automatically rule you out because you don’t live in a house. We consider each application on its own merits.
We ask that you wait until you have moved before applying. This avoids an additional home visit and helps prevent delays.
We ask that you consider adopting after your holiday, so your dog can settle properly.
Yes. We assess every home and match carefully to ensure everyone is safe and comfortable.
If you have any other questions, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.
