As the name suggests, the Mid-Atlantic English Springer Spaniel Rescue (MAESSR) rescues dogs from, and places dogs with families in, the mid-Atlantic region, which we define as New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Washington DC, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina.
We do not place dogs outside of these states.
Mid-Atlantic English Springer Spaniel Rescue is an independent volunteer 501(c)3 animal rescue organization. MAESSR is not a division of, or affiliated with, any other English Springer Spaniel group operating in the USA.
Who Are We?
We are a non-profit volunteer organization devoted to the rescue and placement of stray, abandoned, relinquished or impounded purebred English Springer Spaniels. MAESSR provides foster care and medical treatment to these Springers while screening potential homes interested in adopting. Our primary goals are to protect English Springer Spaniels, promote spay/neuter programs, and educate the public about the joys of English Springers Spaniels.
Why Do We Do It?
A person would undoubtedly fall in love with a Springer Spaniel for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, their boundless energy and enthusiasm are infectious, making them the perfect partner for outdoor activities and adventures. Their playful nature and perpetual zest for life can bring immense joy to any household. Additionally, Springer Spaniels are highly intelligent and easily trainable, making them versatile companions who excel in various activities, including obedience, agility, and even therapy work. Beyond their intelligence, they possess an incredibly affectionate and loyal nature, forming deep bonds with their human family members. Their expressive eyes and wagging tails are simply irresistible, and their unwavering devotion can provide immense comfort and companionship.
Active participation in MAESSR allows us to channel our love for these remarkable dogs into a meaningful and impactful endeavor. By joining a rescue group such as MAESSR, we can play a crucial role in rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Springer Spaniels in need. The satisfaction of witnessing a rescued dog transform from a neglected or abandoned state to a happy, healthy, and well-adjusted family member is immeasurable. Moreover, MAESSR volunteers have opportunities to educate others about responsible pet ownership and the importance of adoption. It also fosters a community of like-minded individuals who share a common passion for Springer Spaniels, allowing for networking, support, and the exchange of valuable knowledge and experiences. Ultimately, being part of this Springer Spaniel rescue organization empowers us to make a positive impact on the lives of these incredible dogs, while also bringing fulfillment, purpose, and a sense of belonging.
